So weve fought fascism and communism for the last few generations just to have it
sneak in in the form of Bill C6. It effects us all but not in ways you might initially
think. On the surface it is a “consumer protection” bill. Sounds good, but as usual the devil is in the details. Besides regulating the natural health industry ( and being a big boon for big pharma)it will really curtail peoples options for healthier
alternatives to chemical treatments and kill off alternative and natural remedy providers. One of the really sneaky and insidious details is that it will destroy key pieces of the Canadian Constitution- protection from trespass and assumption of innocence before a court of law. Yup third party contractors to Health Canada could kick in your door and start seizing things without due process, no conspiracy shit this is the real deal. Read it yourself here:
Bill C-6 Health Canada
But they know you wont read it or at least most wont. Good thing some Canadian Senators are bashing it around but its very tentative.

some quotes on the matter
In Helke Ferrie’s words:
“C-6 abolishes protection from trespass, a court-ordered warrant, and the need for court-supervised search and seizure; it bypasses existing laws on privacy and confidentiality and explicitly exempts the Minister of Health and government inspectors from any kind of third-party oversight and accountability; the need to publish regulations governing the activities of the inspectors is abolished, too; accused individuals have their access to the courts seriously limited; even the assumption of innocence is gone; astronomical fines are to be handed out for crimes committed on the Minister’s assumption of guilt which requires no supporting evidence for independent examination; even the corporate shield would disappear, because corporate directors would be legally liable for the actions of their employees – which actions would be deemed criminal solely on the opinion of the Minister, not by the courts; finally, this bill allows foreign governments and institutions, like CODEX and the World Trade Organization, to have the same powers over Canadians in all these matters outlined above, as if they were part of our own government”
Senator Elaine McCoy (during Senate Debate on Bill C-6, September 16, 2009) is one of a few senators who has expressed serious concerns about Bill C-6:
“…what on earth are we imposing on the people of Canada with this kind of totalitarian tactic that is being endorsed and spread through this legislation into the tiniest corners of our lives? It even gives the minister … the ability to take the word of a foreign government on which to base decisions in Canada!”
The above quotes, and following summary points are taken from the article ‘Report from the C-6 trenches’ by Helke Ferrie, for Vitality Magazine, October 2009:
Below is a very balanced presentation on the dangers of Bill C6 from Sean Buckley a
Constitutional lawyer and president of Natural Health Products Protection Association .
Time is running out for Canadians on this issue and it concerns more than health products it concerns our basic freedoms.
Democracy is not a spectator sport folks. It has to be fought for and a constant vigilance maintained as it is ALWAYS under attack from witting and witless would
be tyrants and greed.- EvS
Don’t even get me started about bills that are restricting our rights.
You really don’t want to hear me go off on a tirade about C-15.
Fact of the matter is that we live in a fascist country under the guise of democracy. It’s all horse shit that we are forced to lap up and told that it’s good for us. We can write letters and call our MPs but it will do us no good. They stopped listening after the voting was finished. Harper doesn’t listen to the people. The MPs don’t listen to the people. It’s all about pushing their own agendas and those of the corporations that are lining their pockets. It’s all a sham.
Actually yes I would like to hear about C15. And if you want to go on a big rant if its ok with you we’ll put it in as an article. People gotta speak up ESPECIALLY about things like this. Looking forward to it. Thanks again -EvS
