I
have never seen so many "helpful" Bills and
Motions in one session of Parliament.
In
the past few months Canadians are seeing better legislation
being proposed than we have had for 25 years under "progressive"Conservatives and Liberals.
The
Bills and Motions listed below are all movement to a
better Canada.
Political
partisanship often gets in the way of good government.
Some
Bills proposed by the opposition are good and need support.
Some
Bills are by private members, are good and also need
support.
Is
it possible for MPs to disengage in partisanship long
enough to do good things for the citizens of Canada?
Bill
C10, a Bill that would allow government to stop misusing
tax dollars to fund undesirable movies and tv shows
needs to pass.
The
Senate is "studying" the clause that would
give Ministerial control over tax dollars flowing
to "arts" ( between 2 and 7 BILLION dollars).
If
we cannot insist the government control tax spending
who should? The industry that gets the money is in
conflict if they think they should set the rules.
Ask
Senators to pass this Bill C10 now. See their contact

Bill
C506
Internet child rape and abuse images are a blight
on a civilized society. Today this "industry"
is a billion dollar blight. Internet Service providers
like Bell, Telus, Shaw, Cogeco, Sasktel, in fact ALL
providers, have a responsibility to do all they can
to STOP this child abuse industry. But they are not
doing it.
They
fail to block sites, report perpetrators, and cut
the accounts of those who are committing criminal
acts. Are ISPs contributing to criminal acts?
Bill
C 506 by Liberal MP Karen Redman is a great start
to require action. Read
it here. .

Bill
C484 by Conservative MP Ken Epp - Unborn Victims of
Crime
Did
you know that a perpetrator can harm or kill a pregnant
woman and not be charged with the death of the unborn
child. If the woman survived and the child died there
would be no murder charges. Sound civilized to you?
Not to us! This legislation is narrow enough to be
applied only in cases where an attack on a pregnant
woman resulted in the death of the child. Some abortionists
argue it would criminalize abortion. What a foolish
argument . Don't believe them. They are deceived and
being dishonest in their arguments.
The
Bill passed second reading and now ALL MPs must be
held to account to do the just thing and pass it at
third reading.

Motion
M446 by Liberal MP Keith Martin.
Its
purpose is to remove a section from the federal Human
Rights Act which allows dangerous actions to be taken
by the commission. Actions based upon what someone
said or wrote, that might, possibly, perhaps or vaguely
may cause someone to have hurt feelings. Or may incite
someone to do something. Does this sound like logical
basis for LAW? It is an atrocious misuse of codified
law to persecute and prosecute innocent people for
exercising their freedom of speech and expression.
Section
13 (1) must be removed from the Act. Support Keith
Martin's motion by contacting your MP and the Justice
and Human Rights Committee by clicking
here.
Motion
M483 by Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott.
Equal
parenting is good for children and society. Divorce
harms two parenting families. Divorce law and courts
have compounded this harm, even unfairly preventing
involvement of both parents in some cases.
See
a motion to have this changed in the word attachment
"Equal parenting".

C486
by Joy Smith Conservative MP - Human Trafficking
RCMP
estimate that in Canada - yes I said Canada - about
800 women are being trafficked for prostitution each
year. Advocacy groups say that total may be more like
15,000. In February 2007 Parliament unanimously passed
a motion recommending a comprehensive strategy to
curb it. Now Ms.Smith wants that to be put into law.
Bill
486 needs to be brought forward and passed.

C486 and see her work by clicking
here. Print and Sign the petition attached.
C537
by Maurice Vellacott
Purpose
is to protect the conscience rights of health care
personnel. Doctors, nurses and even pharmacists who
are guided by principles of do no harm and faith based
values and virtues whom want to refuse doing abortions,
provide birth control solutions or refer patients
to those who will do harm, face criticism, ostratcization
and threats. Some doctors have said they fear being
stigmatized if they are vocal about their faith.
Conducting
oneself based upon their faith should not be grounds
for reprisal.
Email
Mr. Vellacott and support him on this legislation.

Bill
C17 Immigration Minister Finlay Nov 1, 2007
An
Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection
Act to allow immigration officers to refuse to authorize
foreign nationals to work in Canada if they are judged
to be at risk of exploitation attempts to stop immigration
of sex workers who will be exploited by organized
crime. She has received threats from gangs for this.
Trafficking of humans for sex purposes must stop.
The approval of such a "visa program" came
from the Martin Liberal government. Now legislation
to prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking of
foreign workers via "exotic dancer visas"
comes from the Conservatives.
Email
Minister Diane Finlay ( finlay.d@parl.gc.ca)
and cc Justice Minister Rob Nicholson (nicholson.r@parl.gc.ca)
to say "push this one through"!
Pray
for Ms. Finlay's safety.
Other
good moves and news !!

Parents
of a 14 year old girl are thankful for the law raising
the age of consent from 14 to 16. Their 14 year
old daughter was about to be lured away by a 41
year old pervert from Ontario when the police arrested
him. Just 3 months ago the police would have been
helpless - the pervert would have argued she consented.
She may be the first benefactor of the better law.

April
28, 2008 The Conservative Government announced $111
million grant to be directed to drug prevention.
This is money properly spent - unlike the millions
given to the BC safe injection scam where needles
and drugs are provided ( by your tax money) to keep
addicts - addicts. Let us hope the recipients of
the new grant money use it powerfully and wisely
in drug prevention.
