The MacDonald-Cartier National Unity Program – Strength in Diversity.

John A. MacDonald and George-Etienne Cartier found common ground that permitted unified action and Union for CANADA. All that followed depended upon finding that initial common ground. Otherwise there could have been no Confederation, no National Dream, no railroad from coast to coast, no CANADA.  

This all came about because of the pressures of perceived threats from without.  The United States of America was in the midst of a violent civil war and their expansionist policies made the Colony of Canada seem like a sensible next target for their growing land base. The War of 1812 was still remembered by some.

In the 21st Century we find ourselves again facing grim truths that threaten our national existence and even our planet. We need to dig deep into the sources of Canadian unity – stop fighting and demanding more when what is needed is a spirit of generosity. 

We need to recognize that 34 million people is a small population in the global community. China graduated more that 34 million engineers last year. If we are going to compete successfully we are more likely to succeed together rather than by fighting with and against one another.

“CANADA – Together we are strong!”

Building upon the programs, mind-set and values that first knit CANADA together in 1867 we can create a deeper unity that is democratic, prosperous and independent. This is an integral element in this Plan of Hope.

Watch for more information about the MacDonald-Cartier National Unity Program in coming days.

The Premier Peter Lougheed Principle of Legislative Democracy

The Peter Lougheed Principle for Legislative Action

Here is a great idea for the nurture and maintenance of our democracy from the former Premier of Alberta who was recently voted CANADA's best Premier in the past forty years.  He claims it has been the key to the success of the Progressive Conservative Party in Alberta which started with him and continues today with Premier Alison Redford.

"Caucus overrides Cabinet in all cases and with all pieces of legislation.  Always!"

Rejuvenate the Planet - The James Miller Williams Industrial Development Plan

We can, should and must Rejuvenate the Planet - and - we should profit and produce wealth in the process.  Goodwill towards the Planet will pay great dividends in our children's future.  There is far more to wealth than money.

The James Miller Williams Industrial Development Plan

James Miller Williams is a largely unknown Canadian who profoundly affected all of us.  He is credited with inventing the petroleum industry, natural gas and petrochemical industries, the asphalt industries [paving, roofing, marine].  

Williams also helped build the first Canadian railways and rolling stock, the first insurance  companies and banks and the first roads.  He even paved the first road in North America at Hamilton, Ontario where he lived.  He invented many of the things that have made the 20th Century possible.  We need this kind of creative industrial thinking for the 21st Century that is Sustainable in every way. 

As a Liberal MPP for Hamilton in 1867-79 my great-grandfather was also a "Father of Confederation".  This is the kind of person who made Canada great.  As in the time of Sir Walter Scott we are in need of "...people of daring resolve."

This Plan Combines Environmentalism and Industrial Creativity


- Let's begin with the oceans.  If humanity is to survive for the next hundred or two hundred years then it is imperative that we clean up the frightful Mess in the global ocean systems.  I have a plan to begin this process by harvesting the vast fortune in plastic that is floating in the enormous ocean currents.  
 

There are now simple methods available to tuRn plastic back into petroleum and this can create and sustain at least one new global industry.  But more likely several derivative industries will develop in the 'wake' of this trans-ocean enterprise. 

There are great fortunes floating in the oceans and all we have to do is harvest them...like fish or lobsters.  This will require new ocean technologies, new boats and storage facilities on vessels and on shore.

Success with Less - follow link

We can achieve much more with much less if we learn to be more economical.  Economy USED to mean being careful with resources.  More recently it has come to mean rip, use, destroy and consume everything as fast as possible and ignore the resultant messes and shortages.  If we intend to leave any kind of safe and useful world for our families then we must be good environmental and economic stewards.

Micro-Agriculture and Food Security

The National Locally Grown Food Program  

-   a step towards independent food production which is a national security matter as well as  a health issue.

Food, Water and Resource Security Measures - Let's make it our goal to provide fresh locally grown food for Canadians in all communities in Canada.  We have the know-how and we need a plan that gets it done.  Micro-agriculture will helps solve some of this puzzle and this can be reinforced by immigration policy that welcomes third world farmers who can feed us on site rather than from the other side of the globe.  we have to reduce our use of petroleum and this is one way to begin.  
This will launch yet another industry that will go global in time.

Stephen Harper said... BUT I say...

Stephen Harper has said, "When I get through with Canada Canadians will not recognize it."

This is already happening and a growing throng of Canadians are not happy with the results. The rest of the world hardly recognizes this Canada either.  Mr. Harper has kept his word to Canadians. 

BUT I say, "When WE get through with this country you WILL recognize it.  It will resemble the Canada about which you have dreamed and for which you have laboured and invested and sacrificed.

That Canada will be a place of justice with compassion & prosperity with responsibility.  It will be a world environmental leader for the 21st Century with sparkling clean waters to drink, swim in or fish from - clean water from coast to coast to coast.  This Canada will be for ALL Canadians." 

In the end even Stephen Harper will be glad that he was defeated and he will thank us for our work and courage in the face of his belligerence and betrayal.  Then he will also help us build this Canadian Dream upon the foundations we have inherited.  

This is the greatest nation in human history because our people have done some things right over the long history of our democracy.  Now we have the opportunity to make it even more right...far more just and compassionate, welcoming and rewarding.  

Poor Steve simply does not know what to do - otherwise he might just do it.  But as someone has said, "Some people - they don't know and you can't tell them."

The Flora Isabel MacDonald National Security and Armed Forces Plan

Flora MacDonald was Canada's first woman foreign minister the recipient of the Lester Pearson Medal of Peace.


Enhanced National and International Security Plan

 - Two new Northern bases for the Armed Forces with a strong First Nations component and permanent land access roads.  This will prove sovereign ownership while opening the North for industry, commerce, travel and tourism, investment, development and preservation and further integration of Northern Canada into the national fabric.  

"We stand on guard for thee!"

PLUS - A comprehensive renewal of the Armed Forces, RCMP, CSIS and all security forces internal and external - to deploy for a unified assault on the looming environmental catastrophe and the national security implications of that threat – including Security Needs Assessment.

- AND - 

 Strengthened Arctic Sovereignty with an expanded First Nations role 

- expanded and enhanced Northern [First Nations] Rangers Corps 

- two new integrated northern military bases with access by road, air and sea 


...AND for our brave veterans of national service in the military and elsewhere...


*  The Senator Roméo Dallaire Veterans of Foreign Conflicts and Foreign Service Priority Support Program - including - Members of the Armed Forces, diplomats, intelligence personnel, security personnel and families. Priceless!  Named after the Hero of Rwanda and Hotel Rwanda who is a voice for Veterans Rights in the Canadian Parliament.


The current conditions in which our vets live are shameful and we need to start living without this kind of shame.  Naming a highway after our heroes is not enough.

Protect and Restore the Environment - The David Suzuki Environmental Plan

Protect and Restore the Environment

The David Suzuki Environmental Plan
 
Sustainability in ALL things is the goal of this Plan that we would like to call “The David Suzuki Plan” after Canada's distinguished environmental scientist. 

• Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well-being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions. [Wikipedia - Sustainability]
• At the 2005 World Summit it was noted that this requires the reconciliation of environmental, social and economic demands – the “three pillars” of sustainability. [Wikipedia – Sustainability]

 Restore and Protect the Environment Plan

The Dr. David Schindler Fresh Water Renewal Plan 
- to restore and wisely manage all of Canada's fresh water resources

Dr. Schindler has done long-term studies of fresh water and how to restore fouled resources.  "This long-term study of freshwater is part of Schindler's large body of scientific work which has influenced freshwater management policies including the regulation of toxins and the limitation of eutrophication (excessive algal blooms) and acid rain in Canada, the USA and Europe."
