Why has NOT one member of the Ontario Legislature been held accountable for Breach of Trust


Hitch vClarkson CoLtd., 1981 CanLII 2914 (ON SC)


In 1981 all members of the Ontario Provincial Legislature, without exception, voted to frustrate the laws of the Dominion by pre-empting and interfering with the administration of justice in their direct attempt to supplement independently the enforcement provisions of federal laws of federal insolvency legislation and the enforcement of federal criminal legislation.


By so doing they criminally and knowingly conspired to ignore the Constitutional and Charter Rights of an Individual Canadian born citizen by illegally passing a law to freeze one's assets and property rights. Further, they all committed a Criminal Breach of Trust #IMHOPEOPLE and as supported by the decisions of the Ontario High Court of Justice at the time. (Copy below)

As the only true nature and character of the Act was NOT legislation of general application as agreed to by Justice Callaghan J. The law was found to be ultra vires.

Further, these elected representatives of the public from all political parties failed in their elected individual duties and obligations to NOT vote for legislation that they should have known was unconstitutional. Ignorance of the law is not a defence on any of their parts or that of their respective party leaders.

As of today NOT a single member of that legislative body of 1981 has been charged or held accountable for such contempt of democracy; the laws and human rights abuses and Breach of Trust against a fellow citizen let alone apologized!

Shameful……..


NOTE: The offence of breach of trust by a public officer is established where the Crown proves beyond a reasonable doubt that:  (1) the accused is an official; (2) the accused was acting in connection with the duties of his or her office; (3) the accused breached the standard of responsibility and conduct demanded of him or her by the nature of the office; (4) the accused’s conduct represented a serious and a marked departure from the standards expected of an individual in the accused’s position of public trust; and (5) the accused acted with the intention to use his or her public office for a purpose other than the public good, for example,  a dishonest, partial, corrupt, or oppressive purpose.

[1]                     CALLAGHAN J. (orally):—This is an application pursuant to leave granted under Rule 124 for a determination of the following question:
Is The Co-operative Health Services of Ontario Assets Protection Act, 1981 within the legislative jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario or in the alternative is it rendered inoperative by the terms of the Winding-Up Act, R.S.C. 1970, Chap. W-10?
[2]                     This application arises in the following circumstances, which for the purposes of these proceedings are undisputed. Co-operative Health Services of Ontario (Co-op) is a co-operative corporation under the provisions of the Co-operative Corporations Act, R.S.O. 1980, c. 91, created by letters of amalgamation dated October 2, 1969.
[3]                     The applicant Clarke was at all material times the general manager of Co-op and the applicant Hitch was a barrister and solicitor practising law in the City of North York, in the Province of Ontario.
[4]                     The applicants purchased premises in the City of North York, at 20 Finch Ave. W., 277 Duplex Ave., and 279 Duplex Ave., on April 6, 1979, and June 13, 1979, respectively. Title to both properties was taken in the name of the applicant W. Ross Hitch "in trust". By an agreement dated January 28, 1981, Hitch in trust agreed to sell the lands and premises to 462333 Ontario Limited. This transaction was stipulated to close on February 27, 1981.
[5]                     On February 20, 1981, by order of the Supreme Court of Ontario leave was granted nunc pro tunc to the Clarkson Company Limited (Clarkson) to execute a petition for an order declaring the insolvency of Co-op and ordering its winding-up. The petition was granted and Clarkson was appointed as liquidator of Co-op pursuant to the provisions of the Winding-up Act, R.S.C. 1970, c. W-10. Since the date of its appointment, Clarkson has acted as liquidator of Co-op pursuant to the provisions of the Winding-up Act and as such has initiated and participated in various trial proceedings all pursuant to the provisions of that Act. In February of 1981, Clarkson, as liquidator, claimed an interest in the lands hereinbefore referred to. It also claimed an interest in the profits from the sale thereof and subsequently commenced various proceedings in the Supreme Court of Ontario to enforce that claim pursuant to leave granted under the Winding-up Act.
[6]                     On April 6, 1981, Clarkson, as liquidator of Co-op, obtained an ex parte order from the Master of this Court under the Winding-up Act empowering Clarksoninter alia:
to compromise all calls and liabilities to calls, debts and liabilities capable of resulting in debts and all claims, demands and matters in dispute in any way relating to or affecting the assets of the company or the winding-up of the Company, upon receipt of such sums, payable at such times, and generally upon such terms, as are agreed upon, without further notice and without further application to or approval of the court,
and
to institute or defend any action, suit or prosecution or other legal proceeding, both civil and criminal, in its own name as Liquidator or in the name or on behalf of the company, as the case may be, without further notice and without further application to or approval of the Court.
[7]                     Clarkson brought interlocutory motions to restrain the disposition of the land or the proceeds from the sale of the land in which it claimed an interest.
[8]                     This litigation led to discussions between the solicitor for Clarkson and the solicitor for the applicants herein, with regard to the agreement of purchase and sale of the said premises and a possible settlement of the issues in dispute in the proceedings instituted in this Court. A formal agreement in writing between Clarkson, as liquidator of Co-op, Hitch in trust and the Montreal Trust Company of Canada (Montreal Trust) dated May 21, 1981, was entered into (the Agreement). The Agreement provided, inter alia:
1. Payment of Proceeds of Sale. If the sale of the Lands to 462333 Ontario Limited is completed, the proceeds of such sale, including interest accrued on such proceeds, net of:
(a) the amount required to discharge all mortgages affecting the Lands including, without limitation, mortgages assigned to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce;
(b) real estate commission payable in connection with the sale transaction; and
(c) adjustments for realty taxes, rent and utilities shall be paid as follows:
(i) $50,000 to Hitch in Trust or as he may direct to be dealt with in his sole discretion, free of any claim by the Liquidator with respect to Hitch in Trust for an accounting or otherwise;
(ii) the remainder to the Trustee, to be invested by the Trustee in renewable 30-day term deposits, which remainder and the interest accrued thereon are hereinafter referred to as the "Balance".
2. Trust. The Liquidator and Hitch in Trust confirm that the Balance will be held by the Trustee in trust for the Liquidator and Hitch in Trust;
(a) until the final disposition of interlocutory motions in Actions Nos. 3762/81, Whitby, and 4704/81, Toronto, currently brought by the Liquidator and at present returnable May 19, 1981, to restrain W. Ross Hitch and Peter R. Clarke from disbursing the Balance until final judgment in or other final disposition of the hereinbefore recited actions; and
(b) if such interlocutory motions brought by the Liquidator are successful, until a final judgment in or other final disposition of such actions declaring the respective entitlements of the Liquidator and Hitch in Trust to the Balance or until further order of the Court.
3. Payment without Prejudice. Payment of the Balance to Hitch in Trust under paragraph 2(a) (which shall be made unless paragraph 2(b) applies), shall be without prejudice to the Liquidator's rights to demand an accounting with respect to the Balance and if any final judgment or other final disposition so provides, to demand and receive payment to it of the Balance so paid to Hitch in Trust.
4. Payment by Trust of Balance. The Trustee shall release the Balance in accordance with the joint written direction of the Liquidator (or its counsel, McMillan, Binch) and Hitch in Trust (or his counsel, Cassels, Brock) and the parties will execute, or will cause their respective counsel to execute, such direction expeditiously to give effect to paragraph 2.
[9]                     On May 21, 1981, the sale referred to closed and on the basis of the above-mentioned agreement the mortgages were discharged and the net proceeds of the sale, $378,200, were paid to Montreal Trust pursuant to its terms.
[10]                  The interlocutory motions were terminated on June 8, 1981, by a decision of this Court. An application for leave to appeal was dismissed on June 11, 1981. These motions, it is agreed, were the interlocutory proceedings and motions referred to in the Agreement and had all been finally resolved pursuant to the provisions of that Agreement as of June 11th.
[11]                  On June 15, 1981, the solicitors for Clarkson wrote to the solicitors for the applicants in the following terms:
Dear Sirs:
In view of the disposition of the motion for leave to appeal, would you kindly advise what arrangements you wish to make for the disbursal of the funds held by Montreal Trust.
We would also refer you to paragraph 13 of the Affidavit of Mr. Clarke dated May 15th, 1981, in action No. 4704/81. Would you kindly indicate what arrangements you wish to make for the payment of the Patterson notes in the amount of $93,403.00 and $50,000.00 respectively. Perhaps a Direction to Montreal Trust would be the most convenient method of finalizing such arrangement. In return, Clarksons' would endorse the notes to Mr. Clarke without recourse.
We look forward to hearing from you.
[12]                  On June 17, 1981, the Legislature of the Province of Ontario enacted the Co-operative Health Services of Ontario Assets Protection Act, 1981 (Ont.), c. 7. On July 13, 1981, Clarkson executed the direction to Montreal Trust referred to in the Agreement. On July 14, 1981, upon presentation of the direction executed by Clarkson as liquidator and by the solicitors for the applicants, Montreal Trust refused to pay over the proceeds with the advice that it was unable to distribute or release the funds except as permitted by the terms of the Act. These funds have not been released to date. The liquidator states that the enactment of the Act frustrates its ability to perform its obligations under the aforementioned Agreement.
[13]                  In the present action the applicants seek a declaration that the Act is ultra vires the Legislature of Ontario and damages againstClarkson for breach of contract, i.e., the Agreement. The applicant also claims damages against all defendants, except Montreal Trust for conspiracy to injure.
[14]                  The defendants plead that the Act frustrated Clarkson's obligations under the Agreement and deny the conspiracy. The Montreal Trust in a separate pleading awaits direction of this Court as to its obligations with respect to the funds held by it. Concurrent with this action, Clarkson as liquidator of the estate, has initiated another action in the Supreme Court of Ontario against the applicants as defendants to determine entitlement to the trust fund which is the subject of the Agreement.
[15]                  The Act itself provides as follows:
An Act respecting
Certain Potential Assets of Co-operative
Health Services of Ontario
HER MAJESTY, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:
1. In this Act, "trust property" means the funds in the possession of Montreal Trust Company of Canada on the 17th day of June, 1981, and any interest thereon, from the sale of the lands known municipally as 20 Finch Avenue West and 277 and 279 Duplex Avenue, all in the City of North York, in The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, sold by W. Ross Hitch, in Trust, to 462333 Ontario Limited.
2. Notwithstanding the decision of any court, the trust property shall be held by Montreal Trust Company of Canada, as trustee, or by such other trustee as may be named by the Lieutenant Governor in Council, until such time as The Clarkson Company Limited applies to the Supreme Court of Ontario for discharge as liquidator of the estate and effects of Co-operative Health Services of Ontario.
3. The trustee shall not distribute or, except for the purposes of transferring the trust property to a trustee appointed under clause of section 4, release the trust property until The Clarkson Company Limited makes the application referred to in section 2.
4. The Lieutenant Governor in Council may, by order,
(а) name a person to act as trustee of the trust property and, where a person is so named, the trustee, as of the day of the order, shall take all steps necessary to transfer the trust property to the new trustee; and
(b) prescribe one or more classes of investments that may be made by the trustee with respect to the trust property and fix the compensation of the trustee, which compensation shall be paid out of the trust property.
5. This Act shall be deemed to have come into force on the 17th day of June, 1981.
6. The short title of this Act is The Co-operative Health Services of Ontario Assets Protection Act, 1981.
[16]                  The explanatory note accompanying the Act after reference to the concurrent action above mentioned provides as follows:
The Clarkson Company Limited applied for an interlocutory injunction to preserve the funds until the trial of the action. The application and leave to appeal were denied. The Bill preserves the funds until all matters related to the distribution of the assets of Co-operative Health Services of Ontario have been determined.
[17]                  The validity of the Act is impeached on the grounds that the Legislature in purporting to preserve the "trust property" has invaded the exclusive legislative domain in relation to insolvency ascribed to Parliament under s. 91(21) of the British North America Act, 1867see R.S.C. 1970, App. II.
[18]                  Counsel for the Attorney-General for Ontario whose submissions were adopted by all the respondents except Montreal Trust herein and who appeared pursuant to s. 35 of the Judicature Act, R.S.O. 1980, c. 223, submits that the provisions of the Act simply preserve the availability of the trust property for distribution under the Winding-up Act and as such is analogous to noncoercive provincial moratorium legislation. Furthermore, it is submitted that the Act merely preserves the status quo for a fixed period of time. It is argued that it is validly enacted pursuant to s. 92(13) of the British North America Act, 1867.
[19]                  There is no doubt that the Province may in certain circumstances and in proper aspects enact moratorium legislation: see Abitibi Power & Paper CoLtdv. Montreal Trust Co. et al., 1943 CanLII 303 (UK JCPC), [1943] 4 D.L.R. 1 at p. 9, [1943] A.C. 536 at pp. 547-8, [1943] 3 W.W.R. 33. This power, however, is circumscribed within defined limits. In Canadian Bankers' Ass'n et al. v. A.-G. Sask., 1955 CanLII 78 (SCC), [1956] S.C.R. 31 at p. 42, [1955] 5 D.L.R. 736 at p. 752, 35 C.B.R. 135, Mr. Justice Locke stated:
Power to declare a moratorium for the relief of the residents of a province generally in some great emergency, such as existed in 1914 and in the days of the lengthy depression in the thirties, is one thing, but power to intervene between insolvent debtors and their creditors, irrespective of the reasons which have rendered the debtor unable to meet his liabilities, is something entirely different.
It is in light of that caution that one approaches the submission of the intervenor in this case. The sole issue for determination is the true nature and character of the Act. The Act is not legislation of general application. Rather, it appears to be legislation directed solely to the property held by Montreal Trust pursuant to the Agreement. That Agreement was a compromise arrived at between a liquidator under the Winding-up Act and the applicants in the course of the administration of the estate of the insolvent. Neither the authority nor the propriety of the liquidator in arriving at such a compromise has been placed in dispute in these proceedings. Indeed, such arrangements are clearly contemplated under the order of the Master of this Court, dated April 6, 1981: see Record, pp. 37-40.
[20]                  The Agreement contains precise terms under which Montreal Trust is obliged to pay out the proceeds of the sale. That the liquidator, in the course of the administration of the estate, had an interest in the payment of part of those funds notwithstanding its failure to obtain all of them by the various curial proceedings initiated by it, is manifest from the letter of June 15, 1981, to the solicitor for the applicant.
[21]                  The Act by s. 2, in my view, frustrates that Agreement and imposes a freeze on the "trust property" in the hands of Montreal Trust. Indeed, that section appears to deny the liquidator that portion of the "trust property" claimed in the letter of June 15, 1981, until such time as Clarkson applies to the Court for a discharge.
[22]                  Further, s. 4 of the Act appears to empower the Lieutenant-Governor in Council to vary the terms of the Agreement. In so doing the Act authorizes the Lieutenant-Governor in Council to, in effect, rewrite the compromise arrived at by the liquidator in the course of the administration of the estate under the Winding-up Act. By that section, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council may replace the trustee, Montreal Trust, direct the interim investment of the trust funds, fix the amount of compensation the trustee may claim, and charge the trust property with that compensation.
[23]                  In my opinion, legislation which so directly interferes with property subject to a compromise arrangement between a liquidator under the Winding-up Act and a third party is not simply legislation analogous to moratorium legislation; but, rather, is legislation which in its true nature and character pre-empts and interferes with the administration of the insolvent's estate by actively assuming the protection of potential estate assets. In so doing, it is no more than a legislative attempt to supplement the enforcement provisions of the federal insolvency legislation.
[24]                  The general scope of the jurisdiction in relation to bankruptcy and insolvency conferred under s. 91(21) is a subject which has been much traversed in the case-law. It is clear that compositions, arrangements and the administration of the insolvent's estate are within that jurisdiction: see Reference Re Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act, 1934, 1936 CanLII 35 (SCC), [1936] S.C.R. 384 at pp. 389 and 393, [1936] 3 D.L.R. 610 at pp. 613 and 617, 17 C.B.R. 359, per Duff C.J. [affirmed 1937 CanLII 367 (UK JCPC), [1937] 1 D.L.R. 695, [1937] A.C. 391, [1937] 1 W.W.R. 320]. It is equally clear that the Province cannot step in and assume the protection of an insolvent or his estate: see Canadian Bankers' Ass'n, supra, per Rand J., at p. 47 S.C.R., p. 740 D.L.R.:
If the province steps in and actively assumes the general protection of such a debtor, by whatever means, it is acting in relation to insolvency, and assuming the function of Parliament; it is so far administering, coercively as to creditors, the affairs of insolvent debtors. In this it is frustrating the laws of the Dominion in relation to the same subject.
Furthermore, a provincial Legislature has no mandate to supplement federal insolvency legislation: see Re Wentworth Ins. Co., 1968 CanLII 38 (ON CA), [1968] 2 O.R. 416 at p. 425, 69 D.L.R. (2d) 448 at p. 457, 11 C.B.R. (N.S.) 265, per Laskin J.A.; affirmed 1969 CanLII 18 (SCC), [1969] S.C.R. 779, 6 D.L.R. (3d) 545, 12 C.B.R. (N.S.) 265, sub nom. A.-G. Ont. v. Policyholders of Wentworth Ins. et al.:
It is as incompetent for a provincial Legislature to seek independently to supplement the enforcement of federal insolvency legislation as it is to seek to supplement independently the enforcement of federal criminal legislation.
[25]                  The legislation in question on this application purports to exercise legislative power in relation to and for the purposes of assisting in matters relating to the distribution of the assets of an estate of an insolvent.
[26]                  The Act in assuming to protect potential estate assets and thereby directly frustrating a compromise arrangement negotiated by the liquidator under the Winding-up Act is, in my view, legislation in relation to matters falling directly within the subject of insolvency and is, accordingly, ultra viresThe declaration sought will be granted and the question of law propounded will be answered in accordance with these reasons.
[27]                  Application granted.

The Declaration of Independence The Want, Will, and Hopes of the People




IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America

Every American should READ at least once a month.


In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose, obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

The Democrats One Sided Political Resistance or Treasonous Affair?


The political bias liberal mainstream media throughout North America has seen fit not to set off any alarm bells in their endless undemocratic; endless and indeed close to treasonous acts against the duly elected President of the USA and his administration.

The lawless actions of burning police cars, smashing store windows, damaging private and public property by masked malcontent anarchist protesters who blatantly ignored our civil laws and commit criminal acts against mankind, peace and the planet in the name of political resistance that they fictitiously claim to represent, go unchallenged?

When will there be a truly independent public inquiry centred on the actions of these masked protesters and anti-social elements, illegal leakers of national security for political reasons through unnamed sources in a very treasonous meaner be brought before the courts as opposed to kakuro political hearings?  

Hundreds of acts of lawlessness of looting, burning and destruction of private and public property by masked protesters continually rebuffing the civil rights of others in the name of political resistance and free speech and then who later demand safe spaces from their own political rampage against the civil rights of non-protesting and law-abiding citizens who had the common sense to actually vote in the last elections go unchallenged by our so-called elected representatives of the people?

Why have no masked protesters, along with protest leaders from union groups, student groups and their financial backers who play a command role of lawlessness and criminal leadership of the protesters, been convicted or continually and loudly denounced daily by the media and the people's elected representatives and by our elected judges?

When will these representatives of the voters stand up against such deniers of democracy and laws and order be unmasked along with their financiers and political parties and be held accountable and liable for their civil disgraces treasonous crimes against democratic civil societies and mankind?

When will our politicians, judges and the courts be prepared to take on such lawlessness and criminal activities of masked protesters and others who hide behind the free speech mantra of speech for them only with a degree of seriousness or step down and hand over the reins of power to the elected representative of the public who can?

Who are the wire-pullers, politicians, bureaucrats, political parties, financiers and judges that are continually allowing our justice system to be so blindly biased and unbalanced?

Why have no alarm bells sounded or is it purely a one-sided political treasonous affair by insider democrat bureaucrats and technocrats party losers?

Paris Agreement Exposed as Worthless Words and a Fraud & Fake.





Those words were not stated by Donald Trump but rather by James Hansen.

For those who do not know who James Hansen well he was the NASA scientist and father of the theory of manmade global warming! So, you see let’s not blame the Donald President of the USA and non-career politician for having the political courage to call out the Paris accord for the SHAM it is.

Let all these self-serving chicken little environmental activist tree huggers; Hollywood celebrity wannabe elites; the American Civil Liberties Union; the Scientific American propaganda magazine along with the former President B.O., who himself argued that the Paris accord must remain a non-binding agreement because Obama at the time could not get it through his own Democratic Controlled Senate, come up with the one-off and then annual $3 BILLION DOLLARS for the Green Climate Fund as opposed to fraudulently extracting such contributions from American workers, corporations and consumer products.

As reported and written by Lorrie Goldstein; Anthony Furey and Lorne Gunter the Paris accord, deal, agreement and scam was nothing more than a financial gain and economic advantage from and over the United States, Canada, the EU and other governments and their citizens for the governments of China, India and other countries.

President Trump decided on behalf of all legal citizens that once and for all the “United States of America would no longer be playing the role of a sugar daddy” for the world's Green Climate Fund (GFC). 

The GFC and Paris accords both of which are based on a similar claim made by Al Capone that he could make a meagre middle-class income while pocketing millions annually from bootleg liquor through creative accounting!

The Paris accord and green schemes including the GFC are rackets based on “Control versus Freedom. Compulsion versus voluntarism.”


Reminder: Dems’ Green New Deal Tax Hikes Will Cost American Families Up to $65,000 Per Year

Unfortunately for millions of working families and blue-collar workers, President Biden’s “infrastructure plan” is better understood as $2.3 trillion in new tax hikes and the Green New Deal masquerading as an infrastructure plan.

This isn’t the first time Biden has attempted to push the radical Green New Deal through unrelated Congressional spending.

That’s because, amid a devastating pandemic, Biden and the Democrats are determined to transform the blue-collar jobs economy created by Republican tax reform into an economy that slashes blue-collar paychecks and sends their jobs overseas.

As the Wall Street Journal editorial board put it:

“[President Biden’s] $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan contains enough spending and industrial planning that it amounts to the Green New Deal in disguise.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Around this time last year, Biden suggested Democrats push for Green New Deal provisions in COVID relief.
  • The Green New Deal will cost American families as much as $65,000 per year.
  • Experts estimate that the energy mandates alone included in Biden’s tax hikes will cost American households $1,400 per year.

Amazing Letter from a US Citizen 2016

November 8 and its aftermath revealed to me that I am just so tired of these democrats and their candlelight vigils against the evil Trump Administration, harassing our electoral college voters and their undisguised contempt for tens of millions of Americans, with no effort to temper their response to the election with humility or empathy.
I can’t be like them, and I don’t want my kids turning into them.
I am tired of their unexamined snobbery and condescension.
I am tired of their name-calling and virtue-signalling as signs of supposedly high intelligence.
I am tired of their trendiness, jumping on every left-liberal bandwagon that comes along (transgender activism, anyone?) and then acting like anyone, not on board is an idiot/hater.
I am tired of their shallowness. It’s hard to have a deep conversation with people who are obsessed with moving their kids’ pawns across the board (grades, sports, college, grad school, career) and, in their spare time, entertaining themselves and taking great vacations.
I am tired of their acceptance of vulgarity and sarcastic irreverence as the cultural ocean in which their kids swim. I like pop culture as much as the next person, but people who would never raise their kids on junk food seem to think nothing of letting then wallow in cultural junk, exposed to nothing ennobling, aspirational, or even earnest.
I am tired of watching them raise clueless kids (see above) who go off to college and within months are convinced they live in  rapey, racist patriarchy; “Make America Great Again” is hate speech; and Black Lives Matter agitators are their brothers-in-arms against White Privilege. If my kids are like that at nineteen, I’ll feel I’ve seriously failed them as a parent. Yet the general sentiment seems to be these are good, liberal kids who may have gotten a bit carried away.
I am tired of their lack of interest in any form of serious morality or self-betterment. These are decent, responsible people, many compassionate by temperament. Yet they seem two-dimensional as if they believe that being a nice, well-socialized person who holds liberal political views is all there is, and there is nothing else to talk about. But there is!
I am tired of being bored and exasperated by everybody. I feel like I have read this book a thousand times, and there are no surprises in it. Down with Trump! Trans Lives Matter! Climate deniers are destroying the planet! No cake, we’re gluten-free!
These are good people in a lot of ways. But there has got to be a better way.

Last Sunday’s sermon mentioned 1 Peter:18-19, “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors.” 
This may be obvious to you, but secular liberalism does seem empty in some way, despite all the things my educated, middle-class liberals should be grateful for.
If that’s what’s been handed down to me, I want more, especially for my precious kids. I’m trying.
