Feeling Helpless?

All Part of the Plan
As world government progresses, we as a citizenry act almost like stunned cattle, unable to mount any viable resistance. For decades, we have ignored the initiatives of the U.N., treating it as it demands to be treated, as a noble rescue agency that delivers food and blankets. Criticism is sharply limited, as is analysis. The shouting from Alex Jones and Glenn Beck is treated as madness.
We never see the U.N. on the ground, as it were, in Africa where it is almost a quasi-government. There, it acts like no other cultural institution, which is to say with complete impunity and zero oversight by any independent body with power to yank its funding.
And, because of our quiescence, its methodology -- act without permission or impunity -- is advancing on the developed world. Behind the scrim of the media which treats anything from the U.N. the way fundamentalists do Bible verses, every sovereign state is setting aside one-third of its land mass to be managed under rules crafted by the U.N., handed down like a Papal bull. There will be no local control, no state control, no national control once this has been completed. Equally, since the U.N. claims sovereignty over the oceans, dutiful Canada is setting aside 30 percent of its waters.

On FB very well said…..

I had a conversation in person recently that pretty much sums up the Canadian political divide right now. Not the cartoon version from the news... the quiet, everyday one we've all had with friends, or family.

It started predictably of course. The usual labels tossed out like confetti (xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, bigot, Maple Maga). Because apparently if you question a policy, you must secretly hate the group it’s supposed to help.

And this little exchange laid it out for me.

For a lot of modern liberals, politics seems to be less about what actually happens and more about looking compassionate. Slap the right moral sticker on a policy "help the marginalized! Expand programs! Signal virtue!" and you're golden.

Ask whether it works in practice? Ahhh... suddenly you’re the bad guy with a heart of stone.

Their world is simple... you’re either “for people” or “against people.” Intentions are everything and results are optional.

In that framework, a policy ...

Carney got his hands on the CPP somehow !

The Canada Pension Plan Investments Board (CPPIB) and Brookfield on Tuesday launched a $50 billion “Maple Fund” that they say will funnel capital towards critical infrastructure and strategic industries across Canada.

The announcement from the CPPIB, which manages the investments in the Canada Pension Plan, and investment management firm Brookfield was one of the main funding projects that came out from a recent two-day investment summit hosted by Carney and the premiers.

With the Canada Pension Plan playing a central role in many Canadians’ retirement planning, many may be wondering what this decision means for their retirements.

What is the Maple Fund?
The Maple Fund will operate as an investing framework to provide funding for specific projects, and will include up to $25 billion each from the CPPIB and Brookfield over a five-year timespan.

The fund is focused on complex large-scale projects that each require significant upfront resources and development capabilities, and a ...
