Conservation International has single-handedly driven 30 million people off their ancestral lands, dwarfing the settler clearance of the American Indian by an order of magnitude.
In the U.S., the aggregation of the worst people on earth, created The Nature Conservancy, now the richest landowner on earth. TNC has taken the best land in the U.S., land that could feed, house and supply us. Land where if we had been allowed to grow, wonderful towns and villages could be planted. We would have access to spectacular natural beauty that all of us could explore. All of it has been taken by who? The very very rich.
The Nature Conservancy lives off you. Every penny it spends comes from you. Either through your donations, or through the taxes large donors do not pay when they donate to The Nature Conservancy. And it also receives direct grants from the government, ie you.
The taxpayer pays for this assault on the productive workers who feed us, house us, and build nearly everything we live in. We pay for the government fat cats who take the productive to court. We pay the court costs. We pay for the non-profits, who take government grants.

Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.
This ...
Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
