Actionalberta 87 HOW LONG DOES ALBERTA HAVE to TAKE IT
From: Action Alberta [email protected] Subject: ActionAlberta #87 - HOW LONG DOES ALBERTA HAVE TO TAKE IT? Date: December 11, 2019 at 8:06 PM To: Q.C. Alta.) [email protected] ACTION ALBERTA WEBSITE: Click here TWITTER: Click here FACEBOOK: Click here HELLO ALL (The Group of now 10,000+ and growing): HOW LONG DOES ALBERTA HAVE TO TAKE IT? HOW LONG DOES ALBERTA HAVE TO TAKE IT? (Robert J. Iverach, Q.C.) What Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government have intentionally done to the Western oil and gas industry is treason to all Canadians' prosperity. This is especially true when you consider that the East Coast ﬁshing industry has been decimated, Ontario manufacturing is slumping and now the B.C. forest industry is in the tank. Justin Trudeau is killing our source of wealth. Alberta is in a "legislated recession" - a recession created by our federal government with its anti-business/anti-oil and gas legislation, such as Bill C-48 (the "West coast tanker ban") and Bill C-69 (the "pipeline ban"). This legislation has now caused at least $100 Billion of new and existing investment to ﬂee Western Canada. Last month, Canada lost 72,000 jobs and 18,000 of those were in Alberta! Unemployment in Alberta has now risen to 7.2% with a notable increase in unemployment in the natural resources sector, while the unemployment rate for men under 25 years of age is now at almost 20%. How long must Albertans put up with the deliberate actions of a federal government that is intentionally killing our oil and gas business? When will Albertans say enough is enough? Well to this humble Albertan, the time is now! THE INEVITABLE TRUDEAU RECESSION WILL RAVAGE THE WEST AND THE MIDDLE CLASS (Diane Francis) The “hot mic” video of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mocking President Donald Trump behind his back at the NATO conference is a major diplomatic blunder.

Jennifer Henry, Executive Director, KAIROS
December 20, 2017 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister: We send warmest greetings to you and your family as we anticipate the birth of the Christ Child. Leading up to Christmas, we have been in touch with our global partners in conflict zones around the world, renewing our commitment to work together for human rights and peace. Heavy on our hearts is the current situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, particularly following the declaration by President Trump regarding Jerusalem. KAIROS’ long standing policy on Jerusalem seeks a city that is open and shared, the place of two peoples—Israeli and Palestinian, and of three faiths-- Jews, Christians and Muslims. In seeking a just peace, we believe the special status of Jerusalem must be decided through fair negotiations. We very much appreciated your confirmation that the Canada’s Embassy in Israel will remain in Tel Aviv, and will not be moved to Jerusalem. We urge Canada to stay firm on the need for a just and negotiated resolution to the status of Jerusalem and ask that as a Government we refrain from issuing any statements which might prejudice this status quo or future negotiations. Canada’s diplomatic leadership towards just and sustained peace in the Middle East is welcome and required. Please be confident of our prayers for you in the challenging work of leadership in Canada, and in your contribution to leadership in the global community. In hopeful anticipation of the blessings of Christmas, Fay Edmonds, GSIC Chair of the KAIROS Steering Committee Cc: The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister for Foreign Affairs The Honourable Erin O’Toole, Foreign Affairs Critic, Conservative Party of Canada Hélène Laverdière, Foreign Affairs Critic, New Democratic Party Elizabeth May, Leader, Green Party of Canada Rhéal Fortin, Leader, Bloc Québécois Jennifer Henry, Executive Director, KAIROS .

Federal Politics in the Greater Toronto Area
Report FEDERAL POLITICS IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA October 16th, 2019 DATE NUMÉRO DE PROJET METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY Web survey using computer-assisted Web interviewing (CAWI) technology. From October 10th to October 14th, 2019 1,003 residents of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), 18 years of age or older, who have the right to vote in Canada, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, region and level of education in order to ensure a representative sample of the population. No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (Web panel in this case). However for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 1,003 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.09%, 19 times out of 20. The research results presented here are in full compliance with the CRIC Public Opinion Research Standards and Disclosure Requirements. 2 METHODOLOGY Notes on Reading this Report The numbers presented have been rounded up. However, the numbers before rounding were used to calculate the sums presented and might therefore not correspond to the manual addition of these numbers. In this report, data in bold red characters indicate a significantly lower proportion than that of other respondents. Conversely, data in bold green characters indicate a significantly higher proportion that that of other respondents. A more detailed methodology is presented in the appendix. If you have questions about the data presented in this report, please contact Christian Bourque, Associate and Executive Vice-Present at the following e-mail address: [email protected] 3 FEDERAL VOTING INTENTIONS IN THE GREATER TORONTO AREA Q1A/Q1B.

Elizabeth May*
1.5 TO STAY ALIVE: HOW WE FIND HOPE AND HONESTY IN DANGEROUS TIMES EliZabeth May* Thank you Dean, thank you Jane, thank you all for being here, and to the First Nation on whose territory we find ourselves tonight, the Wolastoqiyik, I say woliwon, or thank you, for your generosity and hospitality. I’m really enormously honoured to be invited by my alma mater – in the sense that I was so very honoured to have received an honourary doctorate from the University of New Brunswick – to be invited here by the Law Faculty to speak on a topic which is on my mind pretty much constantly. That is, what we are facing in terms of the climate crisis, climate emergency, climate break down. We are still quite honestly searching for the right language. I titled this talk “1.5 to Stay Alive” many, many months ago, but we have just seen the IPCC report come out, it was October 8th, 2018 that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a special report,1 special in the sense that they have been asked to prepare it by the negotiations and the negotiators in Paris in 2015. We had negotiated a Treaty which set 1.5 degrees Celcius as the global average temperature increase above which we must not go.2 So, the Paris Agreement says that the world’s nations, working together, will reduce greenhouse gases to the level to ensure that we don't go above 1.5. This is a terrible target. This is how long it takes to just say the minimum target: we will not go above 1.5 degrees Celcius global average temperature increase above the global average temperature that existed before the Industrial Revolution.

Letter to PM Trudeau: US Mideast Plan
3250 Bloor St. West, Suite 200 416-231-5931 1-800-268-3781 Toronto, Ontario F: 416-231-3103 M8X 2Y4 Canada www.united-church.ca January 30, 2020 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. Prime Minister of Canada House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 [email protected] RE: Please denounce the United States’ “Peace Plan for the Middle East” Dear Prime Minister Trudeau: Greetings to you from The United Church of Canada. We write today to urge Canada to maintain a principled policy position in accordance with international law, and to strongly oppose the Trump Administration’s “Middle East peace plan” for Israel and Palestine, announced on January 28th, 2020. We further call on Canada to urge other international leaders to denounce the notion that this “plan” could offer a framework through which peace could be negotiated. On 12 December 2019, The United Church of Canada wrote to Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne to thank Canada for its vote at the UN General Assembly affirming the right of the Palestinian People to self- determination. This vote, consistent with international law, demonstrated Canada’s commitment to principled leadership. I deeply lament that President Trump’s plan is far from being a “win-win” in advancing peace for Israelis and Palestinians. Palestinian and Israeli partners tell us that this plan offers nothing to Palestinians but a perpetual state of occupation. They see it as rewarding illegal land grabbing, and affirming those who promote occupation, annexation, and dispossession; while completely discounting and ignoring Palestinian rights and aspirations.
