Electoral reform to electoral Rebellion? (Whitehorse Star 11 Sept 2019, by Anna Weiers and Peter Becker)
#MaySinghSwarm - direct community action to win seats and prime minister’s office
Come election day, all Green Party supporters and all NDP supporters in their riding need to vote for the one candidate on the ballot, of the two, who is leading the race between the two.
It works like this: In the riding where one is voting, closely watch the standing of the Green Party candidate. Also watch closely the polling of the NDP candidate.
The Yukon, in our case. For others, this may be the riding of Red Deer - Lacombe or the riding of Red Deer - Mountain View, or the Northwest Territories federal riding.
And on like that all across Canada. So that there would/could be enough Green Party seats combined with NDP seats to elect a Prime Minister, to form a coalition government that is green-transition and fair-minded for the well being of our country.
Electoral Reform is back on the menu in the 2019 federal election, as electoral rebellion.
The Liberal gov. mocked Canadian citizens with a tease for fair representation in 2016.
True to his poverty-bound U.S. tar & frack-cartel bed-fellowship, Trudeau backstabbed electoral reform for a generation to come.
The deception of it comes across as even more undemocratic on the issue than the Conservatives’ blunt “no” on improving representation.
Innovative use of swarm intelligence makes possible a logical and powerful statement of ecology, humbly submitting to nature’s law of survival as destiny.
As a flock of birds, a school of fish or a herd of grazing animals quickly changes direction without command, but by creation’s invisible hand.
In each riding across the country, all Green Party and NDP patriots for ecological/economic/civic survival will take citizen initiative and simply vote for their one candidate in the lead.
If in doubt don’t vote early!
Like in the 3 Territories and other remote Northern ridings with poor opinion poll research, or any riding with an uncertain situation.
Wait for election day and a more clear polling or best understanding as to who has the strongest popular support: the Green Party candidate or NDP candidate.
It means all patriotic votes go to the one who leads, improving her chance to win the seat.
Within margins of error, the mathematical polling basis exists, say, for a Prime Minister May this time in the next House of Commons.
Mr. Trudeau; how do you like our kind of strategic vote which gives victory to citizens?
Finally righting the anti-democratic Liberal/Conservative idea of strategic voting for a supposed and elitist ‘lesser evil’.
Which really is the full-blown evil of a Bagnell/Trudeau/Freeland/Scheer special interest club, with Yankee Doodle-Kenney waiting in the wings.
Grassroots strategic voting may be frustrating to some at first sight, nonetheless fair and equal.
Could be hard on the trailing candidate to come short in votes, short proportionally to the community support they had enjoyed.
However, purely “first past the post” elections, without civilizing components of proportional representation and preferential ballots, already are blood-sport without silver medals and second winners.
And patriots are prepared to pay a price to save our country Canada, our geography of water and land on earth.
As with other wars, the citizens’ extinction rebellion against the neoliberal, neo-aristocratic climate world war is not without casualties and sacrifice.
Part 2 observes neoliberal carbon-pricing in the context of green-washing a renewed Western imperialism and Nato-expansionism that sidetracks a Green New Deal (more also on yukonblogger , donations welcome, paste or type into URL window: paypal.me/yukonblogger ).
Electoral reform to electoral Rebellion? (part 2 by Anna Weiers and Peter Becker)
Part one of this two-part series shows how Canadians fight back with ecological strategic voting.
We are dealing with a streamlining of corrupt Liberal and Conservative positions into one totalitarian direction, so obvious that it takes some doing to hide it from the public eye.
What could be a better disguise for this neoliberal, anti-democratic coalition than to serve up a fraudulent carbon tax controversy, which at best, is a competition among fossil status quo accomplices.
In B.C., the charge for a litre of regular gas recently climbed above $ 1.70. Which is overpriced right out of the market five, six even seven-fold over the equivalent cost of refuelling electric trucks, cars and transit busses.
The carbon-tax falsely advertises gas and diesel prices as low and as market-based, and even with room for increase.
This lie works against renewable infrastructure initiative and adds polluter rights on to trillions of dollars worldwide in oil subsidies annually, by review of the International Monetary Fund.
A good example for the outcome of such manipulation, of such narrative fossil subsidies are the recent diesel transit bus procurements by Whitehorse city council.
Done in well-rehearsed alignment with the Liberal Yukon government’s expansion of frack-LNG and tar-diesel infrastructures, all propelled by carbon-pricing.
No matter how well-intentioned or how few cents per litre carbon pricing jacks up the fuel bill, the carbon-tax as gas/diesel sales pitch for fossil viability is part of the oil subsidy problem.
Such false advertising eventually will be subject to The Competition Act.
And the destructive impact is so severe that fraudulent carbon-price talk may yet in its organized criminality (Interpol Alerts 2009, 2012, 2015), and retroactively so, assume a criminal status.
At fault are the Trudeau/Bagnell wussy-neoliberals with their good cop/bad cop, carbon-tax show.
It is also a gift of evil unity of wussy-neoliberals to their fossil buddies, the Conservative flatearth-neoliberals.
Nuances are different but meaningless in that both are deceptive in unison, in hiding the emission-increasing carbon tax design-purpose (more detail on yukonblogger).
Liberal and Conservative deviancies against humanity and human survival are “enemies of the people” (Rosa Luxemburg on the surfacing of war criminals in the context of the First World War).
Andrew Scheer’s flat earth-neos in substance clearly are aligned with Justin Trudeau’s wussy-neos (oily right wingers invented the carbon-tax, Preston Manning promotes it and Doug Ford cheerfully renames/continues carbon pricing).
Carbon price make-belief works as long as Green Party and NDP behave as good sport, and are content to play along as carbon tax suckers heading for the dustbin of history.
We understand better by observing that every independent examination of always emission-increasing carbon pricing concludes with a renewable no to the racist carbon tax.
From the 2013 B.C. Auditor General’s report, the Indigenous Environmental Network report, the Canadian churches research arm KAIROS, to leading economists such as the University of Oxford’s Kate Raworth, to high-profile climate researchers such as the Dag Hammarskjold Foundation and the Tyndall Centre’s Kevin Anderson.
A racist carbon tax, in partnership with a renewed Western colonialism, blames poor people and non-white, non-Western, Global South countries.
In reality, they have a tiny carbon accumulation foot print and disproportionally little influence on infrastructure direction.
The carbon tax attacks the Kyoto principle of climate justice and backs it up with an attack on science.
Carbon pricing exclusively references/validates corrupted snapshot impressions of current emission levels, thereby dismissing the climate science fact of greenhouse gas accumulation.
The carbon-tax steals from people but not, as Conservatives falsely claim, purely in pocket change of fossil affordability.
It robs a renewable economic future, or any future, from Canadians.
Just take a few steps, following a north star of a renewable no to the oily carbon tax!
Yes, the Litmus test for rooting out the carbon price version of climate denial disease becomes straightforward by way of two bedrock reform principles.
With a stroke of a pen, these two emergency measures can take charge overnight:
1 No more new (!) fossil infrastructures and usage are to be licensed, aided or otherwise furnished.
2 All new (!) energy capacity planning, usage and generating gear are to focus on the clean cheap electron (including conversion to ecological food procurement and production).
Nobody’s existing gas station or fossil extraction business is unfairly infringed upon. Policy details fall into place over time.
Renewable infrastructure initiative becomes immediate over short months and years and is rescued from meaningless out-of-sight accountability horizons of 2040, 2050 or even 2060.
Affordability and income-strengthening renewable frameworks, not carbon pricing, play a role for the success of rapid sustainable transition by climate leaders, from Denmark to Nicaragua and Scotland.
Similarly, the commitment towards a vibrant sustainable economy of the Green Party and NDP are credible enough to yet overcome some residual neoliberal carbon tax talk of their own.
Unfortunately, provocation, infiltration, invasion, military encirclement/escalation, illegal blockades/sanctions and other regime-change acts of aggressive war are rampant and sidetrack a Green New Deal.
Against China, Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Haiti and other non-Westerners, which reminds of the racist arrogance towards the very same countries and regions by which European Powers slid towards the “Guns of August” in 1914 (Barbara Tuchman).
Carving out their unCanadian role of Trump poodles, jovial right-winger Bagnell’s, Trudeau’s, Scheer’s and Freeland’s dogma of military/oilygarchic domination over others, it is so dangerous.
Short of reviving peaceful relations of reciprocity with other countries, there is no ecology, no economic future and no UN Security Council seat for Canada.
And Bagnell’s years of experience in militarizing and demeaning human rights language are a big part of the problem. He does not recognize liberty when it comes to ecological rights and anti-colonial rights.
His (Trudeau’s) carbon tax plan, backed by transatlantic neoliberals, has baked-in 3 °C or 4 °C of global average temp increase minimally, over pre-industrial levels, cooking life on earth as we know it.
Common sense in independent science further understands, it is do-or-die between currently 1 °C warming and the ultimate no-go-flag for a heat-up to 1.5 °C, the Paris target.
The strategic vote is for restoring peace and against NATO/free-trade expansion hardliner Mr. Bagnell, who is throwing Yukon young people’s right to a future under his neocolonial bus (more also on yukonblogger , donations welcome, paste or type into URL window: paypal.me/yukonblogger ).
