And the insurance company took advantage of his vulnerable condition and attempted to blame the fire on him. David, a father of four who must for safety’s sake remain anonymous, was offered a part in a cocaine, counterfeit money and stolen Cadillac racket in 1986, but was trying to clean up his act and get away from the criminal activity he had indulged in when he was younger. e went to the Oshawa RCMP sta- tion where police persuaded him to take part ina sting operation, saying they would keep secret the fact that David was an informant. Officer Serge Giroux in- structed him to introduce an undercover officer to the drug dealer, who was a friend of David’s uncle and alsoamember of a motorcycle gang. Durham regional police undercover officer Jack Dancey would then introduce a second cop, who would introduce a third, and possibly a fourth, so that David’s role as an informer would not be obvious. Instead, immediately after David in- troduced Dancey to the dealer, the RCMP moved in and arrested two men, exposing David as the informant. A few weeks after the arrests, someone set fire to David’s house and stole most of his possessions. Later, his car was set on fire and he began to receive death threats from members of the drug- connected gang, which is linked to mafia in Brooklyn, New York and in Hamilton, Ontario. David asked to be moved, have his eale PAPER‘ An introduction to the Assembly of Independent Canadians ~ Exposed RCMP informant fights system that let him down David (a pseudonym) and Glen Kealey leave the parliament pera i after David gave evidence before the justice committee on the néed for witness protection bill -206 Oct. 24.

David turned down an offer of $20,000 for which he would have had to sign a waiver relieving the RCMP of their duty to protect him. David did not know who had burned his house. It could have been the bikers seeking revenge. But the RCMP has a record of similar crimes: for instance, burning the home of ex-undercover agent Paul Vidosa, burning down the Front de Liberation du Québec barn, along with assorted break and enter, theft, dyna- (Continued next page) Seeking new solutions for Canada by Elaine Griffith Canada is in trouble. There’s a con- sensus that the system isn’t working. Our political system allows a person to get elected on 30 per cent of the vote. That means 70 = cent voted against the person. And the type of government created always makes sure this system continues. The politicians, legal industry, police, business and media all back each other up and make it look normal for the Canadian elites to routinely break laws and line each other’s pockets. Thecountry is being de-industrialised under the free trade agreements with the U.S. and Mexico. We are losing jobs iia year. alf of Quebec wants to separate. However, most separatists believe they could separate and still be part of Canada, thanks to the lies spread by our media monopoly and politicians. Canadian government officials are right now working on plans to dam James Bay, let it fill up with fresh water, and through a system of dams, export the water to the United States. The U.S. can then grow crops in the desert and dump them on the Canadian market at below- cost prices to destroy our farming indus- try and make us dependent on American food conglomerates. Canadians are sick with worry. But there are some who refuse to roll over and play dead. Since 1988, a handful of Canadians with vision and courage have been working hard to stop this process. Sound tried to build a new political party, but found that forum to be a magnet for a certain breed of person, the most suc- cessful of whom end up in Parliament. They also encountered deliberate sabo- tage, and discovered there was no way to prevent the party from being taken over by, for instance, a PGO (Private Government Organisation). Putting together the mounting evi- dence that the problem was with the system itself, not just with individual crooks in government, these devoted Canadians concluded: that the Parlia- mentary system had to go, and devised a way to do it. ‘riding holds And thus was born the Assembly of Independent Canadians. The AIC is a new form of govern- ment enshrining the principles of de- mocracy, Canadian independence, con- trol over our own resources, and Native self-government with power at the na- tional level. The plan is to elect to Parliament a government made up of members of the AIC, who would im- mediately go about changing the law of the land to one which will be decided by the people over the next two years before the 1998 election. For that election, the AIC will take the form of a ‘oie party, since par- ties are what the system is currently set up for. Immediately after forming the ry belgie 6 the party will dissolve, eaving a government of independent Canadians who will from then on be re- elected or replaced at the will of their constituents. Their constituents will de- cide when and how the independent an election, the representative’s salary, and what will go in the riding’s written code of conduct, which the representative must follow or be removed. The head of the assembly will no longer be the leader of the politi- cal party with the most seats; assembly representatives will elect one from among themselves. No more Canada-wide federal elec- tions. No more party fanfare. We will, in other words, create the party to end all parties. The founders of the AIC intend to develop a fair system of government. But they are sure of one thing: the controlled media will never tell Canadians about it. So the AIC will take its show on the road, travelling by caravan to every riding in Canada, spreading the word. In the way of the old “town crier”, the AIC will circumvent the media, gathering in pub- lic places to plan the new system and set up a contact network and election team. This caravan begins in February 1996 in British Columbia, kicking off with Glen Kealey’s launching the defence of William Ignace “Wolverine” and his son, arrested at Gustafsen Lake.

During the arson investigation, the RCMP never informed the regional po- lice that David had been exposed as an informant to dangerous criminals. Instead, they let the local police concentrate their investigation on David for the arson of his home. David said he believes the RCMP did not want Durham’s detective Jim Adams to find the people responsible because it would lead back to the RCMP’s iat of the cases. ither that, he said, or the RCMP set the fire themselves to discredit him, which again would remove their liability and conceal their wrongdoings. Puzzling circumstances include the amateurish way in which the house was set on fire (the fire was started in two places), and the irregularities in the theft (the garage full of belongings was com- pletely emptied, but expensive items were still in the house. The RCMP could have intentionally made the arson look ama- teurish so they would not be suspect. In his statement of claim against Pi- lot Insurance, David said the regional olice would have a vested interest in not inding the people responsible because the undercover operator working with the RCMP at the time was their own police constable Dancey. Court records show detective Jim Adams offered a woman immunity from pay. Pilot Insurance suggested David ad committed the crimes himself, al- though they had no proof to back their position.

Throughout the hearings and 6,000 pages of testimony, Pilot could not find any evidence against David. David pro- vided evidence showing he was entitled to $70,000 (now with eight years’ worth of interest).

We believe this can only be done by exposing the corruption in our political system to such a degree that citizens will come to the conclusion that the system itself must be changed, and not in the usual way. What distinguishes us from other groups is not our analysis of what’s wrong; it is the fact that we alone offer a solution that does not merely “patch over” the problem, but eliminates it from the ground up. Statement of purpose CIPI’s The Kealey Paper is the forerunner to The Lighthouse, which will document the Assembly of Independent Canadians’ cross-Canada caravan to create the basis for democracy. This paper will provide an alternative to the controlled media by presenting ideas and events Canada’s media monopoly refuses to acknowledge. We will attempt to put this information in context, showing where it fits into the world order and what you can do. The Kealey Paper is also a forum for debate — on the merits and shortcomings of proposed solutions, on which groups and public figures are actually on the side of Canadians and which are merely puppets of the monied interests, and on how best to set up the new political vehicle to replace Canada’s parliamentary system.

Page 2 The Kealey Paper Issue 1 * December 1995 was invited, along with his lawyer Rich- ard Bosada, on the Dini Petty Show in November 1991. Wearing a mask to conceal his identity, David told CTV’s audience that people who would like to help the police should use Crime Stop- fees rather than going directly to the CMP or local police. Crime Stoppers, to some degree, acts as a screen, keeping one’s identity secret from police offic- ers who may negligently expose an in- formant and who will offer no protec- claim”. The company took him to court and the judge ordered David to stop com- municating with their clients or potential clients. CIPI ran a “Public Notice” ad in the Feb. 21, 1993 Oshawa This Week telling the story and offering court docu- ments. The next issue had a “Public Apology and Retraction” saying the CIPI ad contained untrue statements. David filed complaints against the officers who arbitrarily, and in breach of a verbal agreement, exposed him. He has been fighting for a witness protection programme for five years now, but man- ages to leave his own pre aside and assist others who fight the system else- where in Canada. He helps the family of Clayton Miller, a young boy allegedly murdered by local police. He also assisted Debbie Mahaffy in her battle for justice following her daughter’s murder at the hands of the serial killer Paul Bernardo. David even succeeded in interesting a Member of Parliament in the cause of witness protection. Tom Wappel, M.P., has recently introduced a bill that will create a legislated witness protection Access to Information showed no record of death threats or of falsified paperwork tion. David applied in 1992 for a permit to carry a handgun for protection. His application was denied, and he was starting to appeal the decision until CIPI’ s Glen Kealey, who was giving him ad- vice at the time, sbeeesicn that he recon- sider. Kealey told David a restricted weapon permit would give the RCMP an excuse to shoot him. Paul Vidosa, another police informer, verified that RCMP had shot at him in his driveway. David cancelled the appeal. He picketted the insurance company with a sign that said, ‘““Don’t waste your money on Pilot Insurance — 4 years later Pilot Insurance has still not paid our CIP! PROFILE programme. ately David, assisted by CIPI, pros- ecuted his own civil case against Pilot Insurance. The trial became the show- case of how the system services the insur- ance industry’s needs. Pilot presented no evidence to | peel not having paid the claim. David meticulously documented 42 volumes of evidence to confirm his position. The judge has reserved his judgement. Glen Kealey accused two members of the RCMP of perjury. A formal com- laint was filed against them with the RCMP Public Complaints Commission. The judge presiding said he intended to make the decision before December 1. Police informant an example for Canadians It’s ironic that a Canadian hero has to remain anonymous so we don’t place his life in danger. For this purpose, let’s just call him David. David is a classic example of some- one who has turned his life around. Born poor, he discovered he had a talent for persuasion and carved out a niche on the edge of criminal activity. When David first fell in love he tried to move away from crime and supported his lavish lifestyle by concentrating more on the telephone marketing business he had created — though it was barely legal itself. Life was fine until the woman had an affair that ended a relationship he thought would become marriage, leav- ing his life a shambles. During his period of grief, David had a brief relationship that resulted ina son. The mother gave him custody of the child, who became David’s reason for living and motivation to clean up not only his act but that of the criminal society that surrounded him and the child. When David volunteered as a police informant, the RCMP double-crossed him, since it is apparently cheaper to allow bikers to kill the marginally crimi- nal informants than it is to provide them with regular witness protection. The or- der to expose David came from higher up. The RCMP officers did what they had to do. They knew they would be errs from future prosecution by ead office in Ottawa. After his collaboration with police’ put members of a crime-linked biker gang behind bars, David found himself the target of arson, theft and vandalism. Fear for his life and his family, together with the insurance company’s refusal to pay for the damage, left David with a choice: to strike back at the system and choose a life of crime, or to work around his problem and expose the corruption in the Sedan e responsibility he felt he owed to his family swung it for him. He had met and fallen in love with a new woman. Although they could not marry because of the danger that would result, they made three other beautiful kids together. They agreed that she would work to support the last three kids while David would be free to create his own witness protection programme for himself and the first-born. She takes care of the children’s day- to-day survival while David attempts to solve the longer-term political problem — the result of a political system based on greed. They both survive. David and his lady are the true heroes of our country — people who, when their integrity is challenged, respond in a man- ner that makes us all proud to be Cana- dian. Both understand individual freedom along with responsibilty as citizens to their community and country, and both are ready to pay the price of that freedom. Now if we can find 100,000 civilly disobedient people like them during the upcoming two-year caravan, 100,000 who will join the fight for a different Canada, surely we can put our house in order and Canada will prosper as an independent country. NEWS Children’s Aid helps children by breaking up families by Sue Ackerman The Children’s Aid Society has come under fire from one coast of Canada to the other on occasion. Now itis the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) of Ontario that is accused of questionable activities. A case that has spanned more than seven years of heartache for one Ottawa mother caught the attention of more than a few people over the past year or so.

Griffith photo) The story began when Maria Bieber was beset by family problems that found her left with a child, an elderly mother, Le niin assets, and an ex-husband. Welfare became a necessity. Based on a service that was offered on television in the 1980s — showing a little girl on a swing in front of a farm house explaining she wasn’t sad at being in a foster home because when her par- ents solved their problems she could go back home — Bieber decided to go to the Children’s Aid society for help. The commercial ended by saying the Children’s Aid Society was there to help in a family crisis situation. Bieber used the service once in Regina. The social worker treated her nicely and she was permitted to visit her nee ter Dora. er problems with the CAS began in Demonstrating with Citizens Against Bad Law, Bieber tells her story to passers-by. (CABL photo) 1987 when, after moving to Ontario, Bieber brought her seven-year-old daughter to the Ottawa-Carleton branch of the CAS for short-term care on two occasions. A Hungarian immigrant with little English and no large family network on which she could call, Bieber saw nothing wrong with accepting such help from the CAS. She was shocked when .they labelled her a “bad mother”. for having done so. “This is false advertising,” Bieber said. “They said, “We are here to help,’ not to label mothers as unfit.” The second time she brought Dorato the CAS was the beginning of the end of that mother-and-daughter relationship. Not only was Bieber to lose custody of her daughter, the time came when she was no longer permitted to see her or even talk to her. Finally the CAS ar- ranged for Dora’s adoption — against the advice of two court orders. Bieber has grown to believe that CAS covers up for its employees, who use their immense power to make work for themselves and carry out personal a against people they may not ike. With Bieber and the social worker assigned to her by the CAS, Sybil Foley, Bieber said it was hate at first sight. Bieber said she was repelled by the constant smell of Foley’s smoking habit as well as the alcohol she smelled “many, many times” on Foley’s breath. She said Foley disliked her on first sight as well, and she did all she could to keep Dora away from her mother. It was an unhappy liason. Bieber consented to unpleasant “supervised visits” because they were the only way she could see her daughter after a period of being denied contact. These visits, attended by Foley, took place in a tiny, windowless room. “My daughter’s nails were black and long, uncut, and her ears were dirty. Her clothes looked second-hand. I pointed it out to her [Foley] so she said, ‘If all you can do is criticise, then the visit is 299 over.

Ad appearing in the Ottawa Citizen, August 6, 1994 (Annotation by Maria Bieber) ent from the joyful reunion Bieber en- visions. “It would be very disruptive and not in the best interests of the girl to bring her before a court to confront her mother,” McCarthy said. Despite the specially decorated bedroom Bieber kept waiting for her daughter’s return for more than five years, Dora was given “stability” by the CAS by being moved in and out of several foster homes around scattered rural Ontario communities over those “To kidnap my daughter cost the government close to a million dollars.” Bieber was told she had a bad tem- per and as eehaasama for seeing er daughter, Bieber agreed to appoint- ments with a CAS-appointed psychia- trist at the Royal Ottawa Hospital. There she explained the problem between her and her worker: “She smells like an ashtray and like alcohol and she con- stantly provokes me.” The doctor told Bieber to constantly ‘kiss up’ to Children’s Aid because she could lose her daughter, and, without any prior medical examination, gave Bieber some tranquilisers to take before the next supervised visit. “Tt was great — excellent — I didn’t want to beat her Holey] up any more riba though my daughter was filthy irty.” But the drugs were addictive. Bieber suffered side effects such as crying and for three years was hooked on the prescription drugs — the now- banned substance Halcyon, as well as large quantities of sleeping pills. Bieber said she was instructed to take these drugs before every visit with her daughter and before every court appearance. She did so for three years — the time it took CAS to complete adoption proceedings for her child. ecause of a hyperactive thyroid condition, the drug, intended as a tranquiliser, had an opposite effect, making Bieber appear highly unstable when she most wanted to be calm. Aside frem providing a reason to keep her from her child, the drugs left Bieber unable to work, further discrediting her. Following the three years of pro- ceedings, there is a one-year waitin ati efore the child could be adopted. hildren’s Aid had her adopted exactly one year later, in 1991. Once a child is adopted, the file is sealed. “No one will a out that acrime happened,” Bieber said. CAS spokesperson Karen McCarthy paints a picture very differ- years. up the biggest fight that ever existed in Ontario,” Bieber said. “For Children’s Aid to kidnap my daughter cost the government close to a million dollars including court costs, psychiat- ric bills, three years of psychiatric as- sessments, jail, seven arrests, and 20 or 30 lawyers.” Bieber tells of years of unfair treat- ment and harassment at the hands of the CAS and the justice system, including even her own legal representation at times. She was repeatedly arrested for ut- tering death threats. At one point she said members of the CAS would burn in hell for what they had done to her fam- ily. She was charged with arson, then vexatious and frivolous — among them refusing to take a second set of finger prints, opening a bank account in some- one else’s name (on behalf of her mother, whose money she managed), and mak- ing threatening phone calls. Some charges evaporated when a few simple questions were asked. Bieber said someone tried to make her into a mental case. For instance, something written on her document that she was not permitted to see resulted in her being put into a straightjacket the first few times she was arrested. She was also brought into court in shackles. Bieber said CAS director Mel Gill instituted criminal align a against her without ever meeting with her to deal with her concerns, as is her right. She castigates those police officers respon- sible for dealing unfairly with her — particularly one who is the son-in-law of involved foster parents who handled her violently while handcuffing and arrest- ing her during what Bieber said was a trap set just for her. Perhaps the most serious irregular- ity was that committed by the Children’s Aid Society when, in 1991, they allowed Bieber’s daughter to be adopted. There were two court orders that stated Dora should not be put for adoption, that it was against the child’s best interests. Bieber spent eight months in jail before finally getting a judge who, for the first time, agreed to a jury trial. She had previously had to submit to judges’ decisions without ever having been al- Bieber said the CAS covers up for employees’ vendettas against people they are there to help. acquitted because the CAS building is made of bricks and the judge decided it would be ridiculous to try to burn it down. Having been forbidden to see her daughter, Bieber arranged for her niece and a friend to visit Dora in July 1993. The two girls were sent away, but in- vited to come back two days later. When they did, waiting police took and held them at the police station until 8 p.m. without food or drink, questioning them. One of the 12-year-old girls was made to sign a document she did not under- stand. It was illegible and she was more conversant in Hungarian than English. It was six months later that Bieber was arrested on two counts of attempted abduction as a result of these two inci- dents. When she got out of prison on bail, as many as 18 charges began pil- ing up on her. Many appeared to be lowed to present a proper defence in- cluding evidence of inappropriate drug- ing and the statements of the two pe ndeed, with the apparent ability to time the proceedings, choosing the court date to get judges sympathetic to their causes, the CAS had all the advantages. However, with an impartial judge and jury, Bieber finally had her day in court and got the charges against her thrown out. But she still has no daughter. There are many such stories of people who speak of abuse at the hands of the CAS. Like Beiber, they are not giving up the fight. A class action suit is being prepared against the CAS and many people have come forward. “It’s a true torture what they do,” Bieber said of the Children’s Aid Society. “They stole my daughter and no one’s supposed to challenge them. No one.” The Kealey Paper Issue 1 * December 1995 Page 3 CIPI BACKGROUND Free trade implementation scheme unfolding like clockwork says the civil servant ordered to falsify free trade documents by Elaine Griffith The former executive assistant to top free trade negotiator Germain Denis said she was ordered in 1987 to falsify, and eventually shred, briefing books on the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in orderto keep provincial premiers — wanting to block passage of the eal. Ann Kealey, formerly Shelley Ann Clark, one of the FTA’s proof-reading team, made sure unpleasant information was omitted from the doctored copies, for instance the statement that says by the year 2005, Canada will become a 51st state of the United States. Kealey said she was told to alter the figures in copies of the FTA negotiation Canadians still have not seen the full text of the U.S.-Canada ‘trade’ deal updates so that the amount of a certain resource or industry Canada was giving away would be drastically reduced i in the ‘cleaned-up’ version. During the mid- night-to-4 a.m. sessions, Kealey was made to delete whole paragraphs on the loss of Canadian sovereignty which were deemed unsuitable for provincial eyes, es all mention of harmonisation of Canadian industry standards down to those of the U.S.. The books were shown to premiers for the shortest time possible, Kealey said, to prevent photocopying or note- taking for scrutiny later when outside the tightly controlled, pressure-cooker brief- ings sessions. After the meetings, Kealey said she had to shred all the documents in the midnight office work sessions, which continued until March 1988 when Denis wanted his file copies removed from his office vault and delivered to his car. “Where those boxes went from his car, I have no idea. But by looking at the index -at the federal records office, they’re not there.” While sneaking the copies out of the Trade Negotiations Office safe, Kealey said she saw documents the Canadian public was never intended to see, includ- ing the step-by-step plan for the imple- mentation of the free trade deal, which gave dates for specific events in the process of merging Canada and the U.S.. And she said the implementation scheme so far has been right on the money. The plan described the entrance of American Express into Canada, the changes in prsbeeecutice atent law, and the ap ementation of NAFTA. One of the steps in the plan was the GRAND Canal project, the goal of which is to dam off James Bay to make it a lake and divert the fresh water through the Great Lakes system to the U.S.. The separation of Quebec, slatedto: occur in 1995, is followed immediately by a Na- tive revolt in Ungava (northern Quebec), then construction of the GRAND (Great Recycling and Northern Development) water export project is to begin. With no documentation to back up her claims, Kealey has had a hard time petting peerie within the political estab- ishment to believe her. Kealey, who has top secret security clearance, points out that illegally photocopying secret docu- ments would have meant serious crimi- nal charges. “The documents would have been taken away, and I would be in jail now.” To convince people the warning is serious, Kealey has only the accuracy of her predictions to establish her cred- ber o while the rest of Canadians sat breathless by their radios and televisions waiting for the results of the Quebec referendum, she was doubly anxious, torn between a desperate hope for Canada to stay together and a fear that if the vote turned out an overwhelming NO, people would doubt her claims and go on trusting the government that, she said, secretly lans to sell Canada out to the United tates. “I was paying attention [to the refer- endum coverage] for two reasons. I was scared but if they voted NO, my cred- ibility would be shot to hell.” ealey said she felt the same con- flict of relief and fear on learning Lucien Bouchard had been brought in to lead the separatists, right on schedule. She said his apparent wavering between home life and politics is purely manipu- lation of public opinion. “He’s playing hard to get. The more he frightens One ec by saying that he won’t take over, the more power he’ll get when he does,” Kealey said. “The thing that most Canadians don’t know is he has the Americans on his side. Apart from the cover sheet [of the FTA], which said ‘Lucien Bouchard is in place to do the deed,’ and the imple- mentation scheme which is the step-by- step, the other documentation that | saw was two things — some memos which had gone back and forth between the Canadian and American teams. “One said that it was essential for “Lucien Bouchard is playing hard to get. He's too close to let go.” the success of the deal that [free trade negotiator] Simon Reisman had to make it appear that the whole idea was Canada’s even though it was the Ameri- cans’ idea. “The other thing was the offer by the American business community to fi- nance Bouchard’s new sovereign Que- bec. He and Quebecers would not have to worry about Quebec’s economy. It would be looked after.” Kealey said the proof was in the pudding — last summer, just after the referendum date was announced, Bouchard was invited to address the business magnates in New York. So why didn’t the referendum ques- tion pass? Kealey said she thought the failure- was a mistake in calculations. Quebec needs to separate before Canada can be merged with the new United States of North America because a bilin- gual Canada would be very hard to ab- sorb. Continentalists cannot skip this essential step, nor will they give up after one near miss. “The bankers will not let it die be- cause they need our resources,” Kealey said. “Lucien is going to give it another shot. He’s too close to let go.” She said the powers that be have been planning this merger for a long time. And the free trade implementation Page4 The Kealey Paper Issuel * December 1995 Ann Kealey holds up the free trade implementation plan she reconstructed from memory. Up until the Quebec referendum, the events set out in 1988 had all proceeded right on schedule. Quebec was to separate in 1995. But the year’s not over! (E. Griffith photo) plan set out seven years ago has been deadly accurate so far. “Being out by a few months — six months is peanuts.” However, Kealey said she thinks we can still turn it around. She pins her hopes on the Natives in Ungava, who may throw a wrench into plans for the new world order. “You never know what they are going to do. There are the peaceful Natives and there are the war- riors. The Natives residing in Quebec are not chickens like most Canadians are — they are fearless.” But, Kealey said, Natives don’t fit the personality profile to which most Canadians conform that enables the bankers to mold our public opinion so ton She gave the example of illiam Ignace “Wolverine”, who said at the Gustafsen Lake, B.C. showdown that he would leave in a body bag. “But eventually he saw another way to ac- complish his goal. That’s what I mean. The Natives are our one wild card.” 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 4996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 WARNING: This chart is only a reconstruction, created by Glen E. P.

P. Kealey has always been in the business of looking at what’ s to come. In 1986 Kealey was a self-made millionaire land developer who had raised $160 million, mainly in police and teacher pension funds, to construct a high-tech mall designed to be a prototype for the intelligent building. His company had designed the MICOT complex, a model! for buildings of the future, which included a computer mainframe, production quality laser printers, fibre optics, satellite communi- cation, “intelligent” interior climate control and lighting systems, and all manner of space-age innovations. Kealey and his associates had re-thought the concept of a building in anticipation of the world he saw coming, with cities in the deserts, under the ocean, and perhaps in space. e. bought the land in Hull, Quebec, moved an e pol school that was on the site, and was all set to dig the hole when the investors asked him to get gestures of support from all three levels of government. The municipal level gave Kealey a dispensation of MICOT’s municipal taxes for the first three years (a savings of $3 million a year). The Quebec government had done a study that concluded the complex would create 5,000 permanent jobs. It offered to rent three per cent of ‘the 1.5 million- square-foot building to provide small businesses with showroom space equipped for high tech communications, an option previously open only to big corporations able to make the initial in- vestment. Kealey approached the federal gov- ernment armed with glowing reports: MICOT would generate $17 million in annual revenue provincially and $14 million federally; on top of the 5,000 people the complex would employ, the Bee of this project would also create 10,000 related jobs. Kealey met with federal minister of public works Roch Lasalle, hoping for similar support. Instead, the government minister asked him fora bribe. Kealey was dumbfounded at being asked to take part in acrime scheme run by a government of From a prototype of the intelligent building to the plan for Canada to opt out of the new world order, Glen Kealey has always been looking at the bigger picture. (Hans Blohm photo) his own party, the Conservatives. Kealey refused on principle to pay the $5,000 although it was negligible compared to the $28 million he stood to make from MICOT. Months went by, but the gov- ernment would not give its approval; at every level the word was, “You have to pay to do business with us.” Eventually ealey returned his assets and shut down the business. Kealey took up the corruption issue within the Tory party, of which he was an active member. He made it quite clear within his riding association that he did not approve of these criminal activities. But the party was not interested in cleaning up its act. At the riding’s annual general meeting, Lasalle’s former chief of staff showed up and announced his team must take charge of the board election. Inasleazy maneouvre in which 79 ballots were cast in aroom of 72, this little team staged a coup and put in place their set of directors. Kealey decided enou ph was enough. He divested himself of his personal property, reasoning that he could not protect assets at the same time as fighting reed. Then he began what was to be ,000 days of protesting alone on Par- liament Hill publicly accusing politicians of their crimes, hoping to provoke a lawsuit against himself so that he could tell his story in court. Two and a half years later there were still no takers. So in 1991 Kealey tried it the other way. He launched a private prosecution against the inner circle of the Mulroney government and top brass in the RCMP, who covered up for the stealing. In the court of Justice of the Peace Lyne Coulter, testimonies by former .P.s, cabinet and RCMP were given under oath in a historic peeing that showed Mulroney and a number of Tory ministers in 1984 made a premeditated venture in organised crime, skimming some five per cent from public works contracts. Bank accounts in Luxembour and Grand Caymen Islands are cited. This illegal kickback scheme required knowledge of and compliance by RCMP commissioner Norman Inkster. The charges of criminal conspiracy were ickesshul. Coulter ruled there was aa evidence to go on with the case. But she was quickly removed and another judge was brought in to throw out the charges. Last year the only remainin come against Roch Lasalle, was stayed. e media, who had initially followed the Kealey saga, began to change the tone of its stories. As Kealey’s proposed so- lution evolved from merely shouting ac- cusations, first to criminal charges, then to running for federal office, and finally to setting up a political organisation, the media began painting him as a crazy person, as they are known to do to people who threaten the status quo. Ever the problem solver, Kealey was determined to find a way to circumvent the controlled media, stop organised crime run by the goverment and restore de- mocracy to a corrupt political system. He incorporated the Canadian Insti- tute for Political Integrity, a think tank to study the problem of elite groups sub- verting democracy in their quest for aes After seven years of reasearch, ealey 2 Saba a theory that names the Egyptian pharaohs as the instigators of the long-range plan of world domina- tion, along with a detailed history of how this power grew into the empire controlled tay by the Rothschilds in Switzerland. . he solution Kealey proposed was the Assembly of Independent Canadians. The AICisa group of free-thinking people who have agreed to run for government on the platform that they would change the existing Canadian system into one decided on by Canadians, with provisions for democratic decision-making and recognition of Native sovereignty at the national level. Kealey would prefer not to run in the next election, but will use his hard-won expertise in fighting crooked politicians to help set up the necessary political vehicle and guide candidates through the murky, greed-infested waters of political corruption. Knowledge isn’t power, but it’s a start What do you do when you stumble on a secret so big the fate of the country hangs in the balance? When she initially found out what was in the free trade agreement, Ann Kealey (Shelley Ann Clark at the time) tried to get transferred to another office, but was told if she quit she would never work in government again. After a long period of fear, harass- ment by police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, bank account tam- pering, the ransacking of her apartment overseas and a mysterious poisoning at an embassy reception which she believes was an attempt on her life, Ann Kealey went public with her findings. But she encountered scepticism among media, co-workers and even at home. The midnight-to-4:00 a.m. document - falsifying sessions, which she could not talk about because the information was classified, finally ended her 16-year marriage. Fearing the harsh penalty for breaking an oath of secrecy, Kealey told no one and did not copy the documents, relying only on memory for her eventual disclosure five years later. “That’s wh the fear set in. Who would believe me?” After years of che in fear, Kealey began a high-profile publicity campaign on May 26, 1993 with the help of her lawyer Harold Funk, who prepared her original statement. She met CIPI founder Glen Kealey, who charged the Mulroney government and RCMP head Norm Inkster with con- spiracy in a scheme that involved de- frauding taxpayers and operating an organised crime ring that collected kickbacks from Ottawa-area businesses. They later married and have gone on cross-country speaking tours, but, pre- dictably, the mainstream media does not acknowledge either of them. A younger, more naive Shelley Ann Clark fined the National Party and ran as a candidate in the 1993 election to They have hammered out what ap- pears to be a solution to a problem almost unimaginably big: that the pow- ers that be are not just planning but succeeding in a word resource grab. If eieaigs are right, the solu- tion is within our grasp. It involves informing the Canadian electorate about what our leaders have been doing for the past few decades, and identifying the problem: the structure of govern- ment, which allows our servants in What would you do in Shelley Ann Clark’s place? take her story to Parliament. But she was in for a rude surprise. Party leader Mel Hurtig, hyped by the media as being a nationalist, did not take up her cause; instead, he buried it, refusing to meet with her or to return letters and phone calls from constitu- ents. So much for the media and political parties. Together the Kealeys, in small meeting halls, in the alternative media and through their fax network, have managed to keep alive some of the sto- ries of corruption at the highest levels of Canadian government. Ottawa to work against us. The solution then calls for harness- ing the resultant outrage to build a new political system that will ensure, through inviolable riding constitutions, that the representative in government does the bidding of his or her constituents. A government that represents its people is so revolutionary a concept, there's no telling what might result once people start making their own decisions about their lives and laws. But to prevent a takeover by the same interests as before, the new constitution for Canada will set out certain rules, such as ownership of our economy and resources, national- level power for Aboriginal self-govern- ment bodies, and an industrial strategy to guarantee that Canadians manufacture as much as we consume. The solution will take numbers and organisation. The numbers will come when CIPI holds its cross-country “Wisdom Cara- van” to spread the word and build net- works to be ready for the coming federal election. Meanwhile, teams will be working on the new constitution to be instated by a possible future government made up of members of the Assembly of Independent Canadians. The constitution will have to be airtight, yet flexible enough to survive anything the international bankers do when they inevitably try to buy, discredit and/or destablilise the new, independent government. We’re up against all the money and political ie in the world. We must be sure we have the people behind us, be- cause divided we will fall, as has been proven by centuries of control of most of the world’s resources by a few small sie (Ss t’s a long shot, but could yeu live with yourself if you don’t try it?

We had exhausted all — : avenues to make the government understand and that’s why you see protesting and road blocks. We as Natives understand that all the surplus that Canada has had has left the country. I believe it is in the hands of the world bankers. I spent the last 20 years trying to find out what was the problem in Canada. I would go down to Parliament at least three or four times a month and sit and watch. I concluded that what they were doing was not according to a Native or a Canadian agenda, but another agenda. The purpose of this agenda is to control people. That’s how you know they are working for someone else. I started to look into the oe of Indigenous people, which I heard when I was a child. I learned that change was impossible unless we unite and focus in one direction and go forward as humans to survive. Native prophesy predicts that at this date and time, which is the point where Natives cannot hunt and fish without harassment, at that point it would be the merging of a new people. There was to be a beast that would devour all North and South America but before that would pape the beast would come to an end. The way to kill the beast is you have to hit its heart. In my mind the heart is the heart of the system. The heart we have to hit is the world bankers, multinationals, big corporations. It is in the prophesies of Natives that they have a role to play as well as the non-Natives, but that in order to fight the beast we must work in harmony. We as Natives are now beginnin to discover we’ ve been Christianise and socialised to a state where we can’t think for ourselves. The only way to do it is to base ourselves on common sense. mn es people have been low class right from the beginning. They have no land base. It’s a small fraction of Natives that have hung onto the prophesies until today. But there are some of the people who still practice the old rituals. We understand pollution is not by mistake. It’s intentional, to take away Native independence by pen ae all the animals in the land and in the lakes so we will depend on the bread basket of the big corporations. Gun control accomplishes the same thing — to take away this independence. e have to change the system but violence is not the answer. It was violence that divided the people. I don’t think it can unite the people. Peace and understanding will unite the people when we realise we all have the same enemy. When Native and non-Native poopie travel together on the Wisdom aravan, we hope we can work in harmony and bring about a new way of governing the country. We as Native people have burned many bridges in the past. But there is one more bridge that we cannot afford to burn because we need it to cross that last river. The caravan will help Indigenous and non-Native people to cross that bridge together. “Gathering to Speak” by Ken Ense: Natives are getting together to work out a parallel to CIPI. Actual unretouched photo! Cracks in the media monolith All media is not ignoring CIPI. Robbie Noel’s show on short wave radio out of Arizona had Glen Kealey on the call-in show for an hour Oct. 26 just before the referendum, and then again Nov. 10. Noel invited him back because the last time Kealey spoke, “the response was overwhelm- ing.” Noel told Kealey on-air that he’d hang up a big map of Canada and do an update on the caravan evi man for the full two gars: en John Campbell of Sault St. Marie radio station CHAS called after the Robbie Noel show and asked Kealey to appear on his two-hour Sunday morning show, date T.B.A.. Normally Kealeys and media don’t mix. Mike Duffy provided the rare exception once, but don’t hold your breath for it to happen again. (CIP! photo) Land claims should be paid by the bankers who profited from 500 years of exploitation by Glen E. P. Kealey president and co-chair, CIPI Although ‘the national media refuse to point this out to their audiences, traditional Native Indians at the Gustafsen Lake, B.C. standoff are on the same side of the economic fence as most of the media’s middle-class audiences. These traditional Natives don’t want.Canadian taxpayers to pay Make no mistake about it: Traditional Native Indians at the Gustafsen Lake stand- off are on the same side as middle-class non-Native Canadians Native land claims from their own meagre earnings. They want the international bankers to pay. The want the bankers to stop looting the profits made from our natural resources. Finally, they want all Canadians to share equally in the same type of guaranteed minimum annual income as they want. National media, being under the firm control of wealthy elitist traitors, whose own access to taxation loopholes is big enough to drive a train through, they, who share the secret knowledge that government has become a vast money laundering system for their international banker sponsors, keep quiet. As Tom Dennis stated, the media look at the events at the standoff through a microscope, when in fact they should be using a periscope. When the national media tries to employ “victim strategy”, telling both Natives and non-Natives alike that by uae this dispute people will push ack Native land claims twenty years, they don’t want their audiences to understand that in so doing, the Defenders of the Shuswap Nation are doing everyone a favour. No other land claim will be transferred to the control of non-traditional Native leaders, and ordinary middle-class Canadians won’t be made to pay with their taxes for Native land claims they don’t owe. Later on down the road, once a true parallel government has been established, a “mortgage in lieu of land claims” can be arranged beween the Canadian government and each Native, with a payment made directly to each Native person by means of a monthly cheque. Funds for this purpose will come from the reallocation of profits being made currently on the exploitation of these resources. Never again will payment come from the pockets of Canadian taxpayers. ‘ Sian The Kealey Paper Issuel * December 1995 Page 7 *Aqypad aan sSkeMyje 0} 90.138 Aqea.aay Sisji0ddns DY ‘SpioM Jojo UT ‘SUBIPEUBD 0} JUSUIUIOAOS Jo UI9}SAs JO}}0q B SUIONPOHUI UI sn spins 0} sIMjNJ oy) UI JUSWIUD}YSI[US MOU SI] BSN 0} MOA 9A ‘gsU9S UOWIUIOD UMO INO YIM OUT] UT AIO]STY JO UOTSIOA & }dad08 0} ‘[[IM 90IJ UMO INO Jo anja £q ‘esooyo Ajoo1y Mou o]dood ou oA ‘SN DAIQOOP 0} ONUTIUOD *, SOIAIOS arjqnd,, pojjeo-os ay) Jo JoAo] Aroao ye SUOTUTU Tay) pue suLIepueUl ‘s}sTAqqgo] ‘sioys]jod ‘suetontfod ydnisoo apiaoid Ay} QOURISISSE OU} UPA ‘WIN} UT ‘oUM ANsnpul je3o] pue erpowl jeuoneU poyjonuod ino Aq Ajrep sn Ul paosojurel Sureq [[GS SI UONVULIOJUI SnooUOLIS sIyy, ‘(s}usred ino q ‘AjZulmouyun pue sjooyss ‘seysinyo WOW InoA Bure d01dar UdYM PdIIPISUOd 3q 0} S sueipeurs juopusdepuy jo Ajquiessy 9} yum woysks Areyuowrerred oy} soevjdor W193}SAS [V10}D9J2 IY} [NVY.19AO OF, (suoneorunuuios ‘1omod ‘sqod ‘speol ‘soSpliq) epeurs jo oimjonusezjul 9Y} SULUTEIUIVUL JO JSOD dy} DOUBUT 0} AQUOW JO UOTIeEIO oY} UO opeUl jyoId 9Y} 9SN 0} epeURD jo YUL IY} 9dIOj ayel 19ysry Apy8ijs & ye MOLIOG 0} sjeNpIAIpul pue ‘oye1 poxly Mo] & Je syuRQ oy) WO AQUOUL MOIIOG 0} sUOTIeIOdIOS MOTIe © AQuoul s JUOWIUIOAOS Oy) JULId Ino Aq sn uo pojsioj sem Sty} Udo) yeW youed uo ssurog ueuny se A1O}sTYy ond} Ino NOge UONLULIOJUI osTe] HIM UIP] IYO se pourumeisoid o1om a{doed sy} om Jey] $}SeSSNs dUSPIAS [VIUL}SUINIIID jo sduvispuode.id au} svarsy AA pue ‘soljruiey jo spsou ou) 0} oAIsuodsal []@ 32 30U ST OAT] Apjuesoid om YoIyM Jopun wiojshs eyorenned ou) yey) S]SOSSNS QIUIPIAD [VUULISWINIIID jo souvsapuodaad ay) svor3y AA pue Sulese IOAO Puv IOAO SOSIDIOXO JANOSJJOul ous osay] SuTeodol WO }[NSOI MOYSUIOS [JIM VUIODINO JUOIOIJJIP B Jo0dxa OM JI OURSUT AT]e10} 9q ISNU OM yey) pue Suryjou Ajoinjosqe aZueyo prnom WiaISsK$ SUN)SIX9 dU] UO pose JUSUIUIOAOS jeuoneu Mou & 3uNdI]9 Jo Ayied yeontjod Wsnoy LL, :10 0} epeueD jo yueg ou) AJUO Mole » syueqg 0} Aouou Jo uoNNg sIp pue SULIN}JORjNULUI dy] UO xe} o]SUTS B YIM uoTeXe) sov]dol ‘xe ] SOdIAIOS pue spoon oy} pue xe} oulOoUI YsTjoqe Aguoul ueIpeues jo SUIYeUI oy esITBUOIIeU-a1 OF, epeura JO ueZNIO yora JOJ OUIOOUI [enuUe poojULIENS & pue [eUuIsiogy Yor 0} suITe]O pure] Jo nor] ul juouiAed e apraoid 0) uoneiojdxa Joy) Woy syijoid WoATp ‘saoinosel jeinjeu s,epeued osifeuoneu e C661 Joquisoeg + [onss] tedeq AsTeey eyL g sed JeuoneU MoU JojOUe SUNeOIO Jey} S}]SeSSNs sdUSPIAD [eYUL}SUINIIID jo souei1apuode.id 3yj seatoy A pure ‘suoUIUIOD JO esnoy{ oy} Ur pley pouied uonsonb suunp sropeey Ayed Jay} JO WOpPsIM pajes-os oy} ‘ond uO ‘pnejdde Ausrpogo oym ,.S[eos pouren,, a[duns ore suviejuowrerpied imo yey) S}S8SSNS IDUSPIAD [VIULJSUINIIID Jo souviopuodaid ay} sear3y AA pue ‘ajdood ou} Jo [IM ay) uodn poseq ose sme] o1oyM ATUNOD ® Ul OAT] JOSUO] OU SUvIPeURD OM Ie} S]SoSSNS IdUIPIAD [VUULJSUINIIID jo s0uvrapuoda.id 3y3 sva10y A ($661 “OZ YOIBIA Pastas.) a[quivaid JIV JUSUIUOMAUO jeINjeu a} JOOIJe JY passed sme] I9A0 0J9A B SOATIEN SOAS YOM ‘oyeUSS aseioyY & :o[dood jeursiiogy Ino YIM JUOWIUIOAOS Jol[ered & YsI[quIso S2ATBN 0} aUOp seoy9sNful 3991.109 OT, uononpoid JO jSO9 Mou} OWI JUQUOdUIOD uo01}99}01d JUSUIUOIIAUD Ue OpNToUT 0} siomnjoejnueul [je sinbal 0} aeIstIso] 919y pauINsuod aq 0} PopudjUI SadIAIOs pue spoos poystuy au) [fe seonpoid epeuesd yorum ut ASajyes jUoWAOC|duId-8uLIN|oejnueU e Aq poinsse 9q [[IM JUSUIAO;dUIO [IMJ :ssoutsng pouMmo-seAo]duld 9j89I9 « Joveq jo Aem Aq ATU AT[euONeUIOJUI Ope open [euOTeUIOIUI oseueUT 0} soruedwi0s SuIpen [euoNeu o]¥9I9 « Jqop [euorjeusojul SuNnstxo oy} Aedoi « sJUoUID0ISe Ope solj URSLIOWL YON pure epeuen-"S'fQ ou} ayeSo1ge » AVUOUODE 3Y} WTe]II1 OF, sorjodouow eipow je dn yeoiq BIPOU!

Canadians are of like mind. Patriots, from coast-to-coast-to- coast, want a different Canada. Not a Canada of the politicians or their sponsors, but a Canada that belongs AIC must be a working by E. Griffith and B. Raisbeck When the Assembly of Independent Canadians forms a political party to run in the next election, it must include principles of democracy in the party constitution to make sure it represents its members and to be an example for Canadian democracy. Many groups have attempted to organise demacraticallv — the Natjonal Party is one — with varying degrees of success. But to start with, at the constitution level we must adopt some basic democratic principles: 1. Abr : NA We are losing our country under free trade. No country, no democracy. 2 n A. No corporate or union donations We reject alien ownership of the ree to us. Most Canadians insist that it will be a caring Canada for each and every one: for the Aboriginal, for the native born — of French or English descent, as well as for more recent immigrants of different colours, religions or nationalities. Canadians also believe it is time to examine our recent immigration patterns in order to determine a new consensus. Most Canadians are fed up with the status quo. Most do not want less government. Most want less corruption in government. They are tired of how the legal industry has protected corrupt politicians from prosecution. They are tired of being pigeon-holed by media that belong to the elites. They are tired of being manipulated and brainwashed by churches, schools, book publishers, radio and the electronic media. They are sick of being “amused to death” by a profit-oriented entertainment industry while their kids take drugs and/or commit suicide because they have lost all hope. country and also of the party, since the party strives to show what is possible for the country. B. Party organised according to people and provinces, not regions The party should be a microcosm of the country and should be organised to _ balance the twin pillars of federalism: — ae equality of the member-state. (i) When AIC members are elected into government the problems we have been addressing should have been problems related to Canada. Gerryman- dering changes the focus of issues; setting up arbitrary regional lines will divert the AIC’s attention from the issues facing Canada, which are related to provincial interests. (ii) The forces that act on the party should be those of a state made up of principles pf equality of the individual, Independent Canadians, traditional Canadians, who believe in both democracy and the rule of law are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Today we, independent Canadians, vow to take direct control of our own lives. We know that crystal clear eye- witness evidence, of what was secretly destined to transpire during the referendum on the separation of Quebec, was shared with both the national media and political elite by Ottawa’s Shelley Ann Clark and Glen NO side rally to address Canadians. Instead, Chrétien orchestrated a final opportunity for Lucien Bouchard to address the undecided Quebeckers on television. It was a knockdown punch. As the “Implementation Scheme”, seen by Shelley Ann Clark in the Free Trade Office safe (1988) had clearly stated, “Lucien Bouchard is in place to do the deed.”’ When leadership was sorely needed, Chrétien whimpered; Bouchard took charge. This was all The Canadian revolution has begun. Kealey (since 1988). But “our” politicians, courts, police and national media contrived to cover it up. Now they cry crocodile tears. The NO camp in the Quebec ; referendum did everything it could do to help the YES side win. They threatened to reopen the constitution in the event of a NO vote. Jean Chrétien, if he had wanted, could have used his contrived in secret. Now it’s our turn, people of Canada, to take charge. Now we will join together and “clear the site” — for a different Canada. Arm yourself with a video camera and join the AIC. Come with us on our historic cross-Canada “Wisdom Caravan” to set up a true democracy. model of democracy member states, not ones generated from within an arbitrary context of population- based regions. The party should not, for instance, be controlled by a board domi- nated by Ontario and Quebec just because of their high population. Rather, national committees, etc., should require a number of members from each province/territory so as to avoid eben econ the provinces with the highest population. 3. Democracy means informed choice. A. Choice means (i) a fair ballot, one suitable to the question being decided. For a multi- option question the party should use a ballot other than the perverse single-X ballot currently used in other parties and in Canadian elections, which brought us the FTA and many other distorted results. A democracy committee should be set up The case for suspicion by Elaine Griffith The business community’s against us, all four political parties are against us, the media’s against us, the legal system’s against us — and yet we are the majority. The only thing keeping these interests in power is the fact that the majority doesn’t know it’s the majority. The majority of the country voted against free trade and we got free trade. When you look into the abyss the abyss looks into you; individual people didn’t want to look into the abyss and see that our ballot system was the cause. It was easier to think, “I didn’t vote for free trade but I guess my neighbours did.” The people who knew the mechan- ics of electoral decision-making knew it was inevitable that there would come a time when we would realise we were WERE \S YOUR: oy AND Par “POR GANADIANS WHO". | REFUSE TO BELIEVE. THAT THERE 1S A CONSPIRACY BY BIG BROTHER 10 TAKE ‘OVER QURGOUNTRY AND SUBVERT DEMOCRACY. drinking driver knows politeness can cost you your life. Mothers Against Drunk Drivers and other groups have helped create a climate where a person can say, “I don’t think you’re safe to drive. Why don’t we call a cab?” and not get a shocked silence. With stakes like that, nobody is surprised if you put safety before politeness. But in the Canadian political system, politeness has allowed all manner of bizarre and outrageous activities to go unchallenged. It must no longer be unheard of to ask, “Why should I trust you?”; “What might someone say was in it for you?”; “What assurances can you give me that you don’t have an ulterior motive?” People should not be able to the majority and that a political machine would spring up representing the majority, on the right side of the two main issues of the past decade: free trade and the Charlottetown constitution deal. They were prepared for this eventuality since, as always, they were organised and pro- active, not reactive like us individuals. The idea that there are big financial interests out to subvert alternative political movements is a logical conclusion, not the Cartoon by Rolfe Brock product of a diseased mind. A climate exists where being suspicious is consid- ered to be evidence of a medical condition called paranoia, caused by a brain chemical imbalance. But suspicion should not be discouraged. It should be cultivated as healthy awareness. Anyone who’s been faced with the dilemma of having to confront a evade questions by pulling a righteous- indignation routine or casting questioners as crazy for asking such a nasty thing. Many citizen groups have been infiltrated and have had their leadership hijacked and their goals twisted around 180 degrees. Lessons in cynicism have usually come too little, too late. Did you get involved in politics to make friends? Let’s be pro-active for a change. Let’s encour- age a climate of healthy suspicion in the AIC. to review the democratic validity of any vote at any level, and to make available mathematicians’ evaluations of proposed ballot systems the AIC or any of its constituencies may adopt (e.g. multi-X or ranked systems). (ii) recall, citizens’ initiative, and binding referendum, together with inexpensive voting methods — mail-in ballots, telephone voting, votes held at the constituency level. (iii) clear and fair regulations on who can vote. To preclude stacking of meetings with instant members, a length- of-membership requirement must be met in order to vote; no financial barriers should keep members from voting; any national conventions should be held at forums where registration fees are not prohibitive. B. Informed means (i) openness — no information gate- keeping; committees should have clear mandates and mandatory minute-taking; paper trail policy within the AIC’s party —a requirement that members’ letter will be acknowledged by officials and committees if the letter is accompanied by a SASE, since mail-outs are expensive. (ii) communication methods — newsletter, computer BBS , etc.. 4. Policies llow directly from t principles For instance: the AIC opposes any policies that are in clear violation of the principles of democracy such as political appointment of judges, and we support causes that promote democratic ideals, e.g. free press serves to inform people. 5. Other policies should be considered secondary to the principle of democracy; their adoption should be postponed until democracy is established and members are able to democratically vote on policy. While the AIC will dissolve as a party after forming the government and setting up the new Canada, the constituencies will still all be in place and should have within their rules the basis for democracy. Note: The AIC party election platform should make it clear in the 1998 election that a vote for this party is a vote for the new constitution, which brings with it not just democracy within the non-Native branch of Canadian government, the Assembly, but also the existence of the Native parallel government and the “fortress Canada” industry/trade policy. \ The Kealey Paper Issue 1 * December 1995 Page 9 ANALYSIS Who’s on your side? A survey of citizens’ groups and political parties: What are they offering these days? hea out there? What do they stand or? We are asking the following questions of citizens’ groups and political parties: 1. What are the goals of your organisation? 2. What can an individual member do to further these goals? 3. What does the group offer that an individual member cannot do on his or her own? 4.(a) Where was this group on the1988 U.S. Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and on NAFTA? (b) Where was this group on the 1992 Charlottetown Accord referendum? (c) What did this group ask people to do in the last election? 5. What is this group’s strategy for the next election? If there is currently no strategy, (a) when is this strategy likely to be decided? (b) what is the strategy likely to be (or unlikely to be)? Action Canada Network (formerly Pro-Canada Network) 1. Goal: to co-ordinate the efforts of various progressive organisations to create a political culture for Canada based on non-corporate social values — e.g. eee universal health care, fair taxation. The ACN is non-partisan but is made up mainly of the same groups who united in 1987 under its original name, the Pro-Canada Network, with a common opposition to the U.S.-Canada FTA. 2.In the case of ACN, individual members are groups, e.g. Council of Canadians, National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Canadian and American unions, churches, Native, environmental and anti-poverty organisations and regional coalitions. Individual groups share ideas and resources for the benefit of others. ACN considers voting and federal politics to be declining in importance and will probably be concentrating more and more on consumer boycotts and work stoppages. ACN has endorsed talk of general strikes by the Public Service Alliance and the Canadian Federation of Students. 3. Name recognition; media attention by virtue of the number represented by the ACN umbrella. ACN has its own campaigns as well as those of its member organisations. Its campaign for fair taxation held a two-day national vote on the GST. The ACN has its own newsletter, the Action Canada Dossier and the weekly two-page Action Bulletin. In 1988 the ACN published the educational cartoon booklet What’s the Big Deal? 4. (a) Free trade: against. (b) Charlottetown Accord: no position. ACN held a forum but could not get a consensus among member groups. (c) Last election: through press releases and “Don’t vote for free trade” booklets and lawn signs, ACN tried to turn the focus of debate to social programmes and NAFTA. 5. Next election: strategy not decided yet. A steering committee of 20 member organisations decides policy. Also, ACN holds national assemblies two or three times a year, but since politics at the national level is not a main focus, ACN will probably not have a strategy until the election year. — Source: ACN literature, interview with Marcella Munro, Ottawa office.

The Council of Canadians’ focus has changed in its 10 years — it used to mainly lobby political parties and voters to oppose the U.S.- Canada FTA. Now in COC’s opinion governments have their hands tied, so people should concentrate on “battling corporate globalism on an international level and helping individuals in their communities protect their rights” rather than try to change the government. COC aspires to develop citizens’ movements to write up a vision and a list of rights, develop negotiating positions in facing governments and corporations, and assume direct responsibility for democracy independent of government. COC organises letter-writing, petitions and consumer boycotts directed at specific manifestations of the “corporate agenda”. Recent campaigns include — opposition to Wal-Mart and Bovine Growth Hormone. Goals for the year are decided by the national board. 2. COC encourages individuals to buy a membership, as the organisation claims not to solicit government or corporate donations. Members who want to do more than that may take part in COC’s Action Link Network, which produces a manual for activists and circulates a bi- monthly bulletin containing suggestions for letter-writing, talking to your grocer and dairy producer, taking part in consumer boycotts, etc.. 3. Name recognition provides media attention and weight when recommendations are presented to government committees, etc.. The group funds causes that fall within its mandate if approved by the national board. The COC publishes a magazine, Canadian Perspectives. 4.(a) Free trade: against. (b) Charlottetown Accord: employee did not know (c) Last election: CoC did a riding- by-riding endorsement of the strongest anti-free trade candidate (as determined by the national board) which in this case was about a 50-50 Liberal-NDP split. 5.

The excruciating October 30 referendum in Quebec saw Canadians battle their way through yet another chapter of the never-ending saga of our country’s struggle to exist. In our short history, we have witnessed proud Abroriginal peoples subjugated, immigrants used and abused, and — in modern times — the vast majority of people enslaved by the whims of the corporate/political agenda. We live in a vast The last word: Letters from our readers Open letter to Bev Collins: water diversion is for real ...1 came across [an] article out at UBC library on the GRAND Canal Project. It is interesting in that it was written even before the Free Trade deal (FTA) was signed. Ev- erything that Shelley Ann and Glen Kealey spoke of in their Vancouver talk on June 25, 1994 is vindicated by this article. ...It’s too bad that Shelley Ann’s message isn’t common household knowledge in Canada at this critical moment. But unfortu- the profit of the few first took precedence over the good of the many. Since then, we have been continually manipulated into doing our masters’ bidding. Yet we — the people — have persisted in our own small actions of faith and good will. That we have been abused for our gentle and caring nature could, perhaps, be forgiven. What cannot, what must not, be forgiven is the loss of the sacred pact among the people: that we are all created equal. Nothing less than the resurrection of this pact of equality will satisfy the land, bountiful and prosperous, yet we share so little of its abundance. Many of our fellow Canadians in Quebec have expressed a desire for profound change in the way our society is organised. Indeed, so A view from Quebec nately, the controlled press has done their job well. If Quebecers only know that they are being set up as mere pawns by the American bankers in order to facilitate the destruction and takeover of Canada, and that they in turn will become Canadian soul. Only by restoring its ‘pre-eminence can the many thwart the manipulative actions designed and carried out by the few for only their cajun mincemeat if the nefarious benefit. And now is the plan succeeds. time. James Shannon have Canadians from sea to sea. The Spicer Commission duly noted that “there is a fury in the land”. It is our duty to channel that fury into creative change. The Quebec referendum is a bell-wether warning of the imminent danger our country faces. If we do not take these omens seriously — and do so now — we will indeed lose our treasured country and our Canadian identity. To suggest that most Canadians are content with the status quo — under which the ridiculously few with wealth are served by the overwhelmingly many without — would be a lie. But it is no more of a lie than suggesting that Quebec or the rest of Canada could somehow be better off outside of confederation. Without the tremendous strength of opposition shown by the Native peoples toward separation, without the spontaneous outpouring of concern by literally millions of Canadians as the official NO campaign faltered, it would already be too late. The Quebec referendum would have been lost, and our Canada would no longer exist. Where did it start? The seeds of this bitter winter of our discontent were planted in times long past, when eee hare ier ses eee her Delta, B.C. Too much of a sceptic to be sceptical of government ... Yes, some of this might well be true. But on balance the massive conspiracy theory doesn’t win me over. We the people must once again take control of the wheel guiding our destiny. Once again we must assert our profound belief in the human family. We must take action now. In their own and in Quebec’s referenda, Native citizens rose to the task by declaring their resounding desire to “renegotiate the pact” with all like-minded people within the framework of Canada. The time has long passed for us to recognise that their future is our future as well, that their well- being is our well-being as well. ... Your organisational structure looks more like that of a consumer advocate group than a brand new system of government.... Shelley Ann Clark’s FTA ex- periences are fascinating, but the mere existence of altered copy does not make a prima facie case of wrong-doing. Those copies might have been intended for draft use. Without being present at the meet- ings at which the altered copies were used, who knows? Yes, fresh water is a key asset, and the U.S. needs what Canada has. But they need no devious scheme to get it. The supply/demand law plus U.S. capital will suffice. y original reason for getting in touch was to see if your organisation could investigate alle- ations of ballot-box fraud...

I would like to ask you to ini- tiate an immediate public inquiry into these allegations....

We must join Letters page policy: restoration of responsible government. The Assembly of Independent Canadians is a forum you should seriously consider.

A shopper’s guide to citizen action groups by Elaine Griffith Democracy — justice — equality — ecological living.... All require a country able and willing to adopt these new concepts. Under U.S.-Canada free trade, North American free trade and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, Canada’s sovereignty — its ability to decide its own laws — is fast disappearing. You only have limited time, money and energy — which groups best represent your goals and propose the most plausible strategies to attain them? Beware of: Wasting time doing pointless things like telling people what they already know Consider: the majority voted against free trade in a federal election universally considered a referendum on the issue. Now we’ve lived with it for six years. Who do you still need to convince? ¢ talking about the problem but giving no solution (or getting people to do time-consuming research on just how - bad things are) Consider: “Speak out”, “network”, “bring the message to the people”, “focus. the debate”, etc., all mean “talk” Talk minus action equals zero. When reading through your group’s literature, what are the subjects and predicates? * writing to M.P.s, telling them your vision of the world or of utopia, or demanding changes (also known as demanding that foxes do something about the situation in the hen house) Consider: the Liberals continued on with U.S. free trade against the clearly expressed wishes of Canadians, then extended it to Mexico. Chrétien told Quebec that if they voted against separation, he would do what all of Canada voted against in 1992 — amend the constitution. What effect will another letter have? Wasting money sending it to groups that offer no solution. “Educating people” so they might some day form a “movement” may sound like a noble goal... until you look at the time frame. Consider: next federal election is 1998 at the latest. The free trade implementation scheme Shelley Ann Clark saw gave Quebec’s separation date as 1995, immediately followed by the GRAND canal water export project. What do we need to do right now? Damaging your cause by discouraging appropriate action, turning people away from the place laws are written, telling them the laws matter but the iaw-makers don’t (forgetting that NAFTA is a law made by people, not a law of nature). Consider: some groups actively thwart solution-driven action such as joining or forming a political party, taking on a bad law or corrupt politician in court, civil disobedience and the like. Does your group condone or encourage such actions? “Question Period” We will print questions to M.P.s (or other public figures) side by side with the reply.

Sirict limit: 100 words; note the question or answer number to which you are replying. Q. #1 How would “Fortress Canada” work in practice? What specific things could we do individually and nationally to stay afloat? E. Griffith A. 1 (a) We should adopt the four-day work-week immediately after declaring ourselves an independent country. Mega- business backlash will throw our industry into chaos; other countries will likely boycott our products. Canadians will have to tighten their belts in terms of con- sumption. Shortening the work-week leads to less production and less environmental damage. It would boost Canadian morale by solving the unemployment problem while not significantly decreasing wages, and would give people the extra time we’d need to make stuff we now buy, and to think through the new political ee in Canada. Info: Work Well Network, (604) 334-0998. Rey. Bob Raisbeck Vancouver A. 1 (b) Reclaiming our monetary system begins with the Currency Act (C. 52, Statutes of Canada). According to this Act, all our metal money is minted and circu- lated by the federal government, with profits paid into the so-called “Consoli- dated Revenue Fund”. In contrast, our pee money is burdened by debtto money- enders. Coins offer a partial but significant solution to our Gacal potion e first step should be re-introducing large de- nomination coinage through amendments to the Currency Act. For example, C. 19 (1985) now permits a $20 silver piece. That coin should be circulated specifically to pay for repairing our crumbling infrastruc- ture. John Richard Bowlby Ottawa A. 1 (c) We would have to break up the media monopolies and keep them from forming again. It is possible to legally restrict any one person or family, group, trust or corporation from owning or con- trolling more than one media outlet, i.e. only one newspaper, one T.V. station or one radio station. Also, create a fund to support journalists and writers who jeopardise their careers and families by exposing corrupt and illegal practices. Philip McCormack Surrey, B.C. Q. #2 Why did nearly half of Quebec vote to separate when it’s obvious they wouldn’t survive without Canada? David Clark Ottawa A. 2 (a) The politicians and media have been down-playing Quebec’s demands for improved social programmes, one area the Canadian government has turned away from with its neo-liberalism. The people in Quebec who voted for sovereignty wanted to set up their own social programmes. R. S. Rodvik Gibsons, B.C. The Kealey Paper Issuel * December 1995 Page 11 The “natio mL, ir.
