Sometime in November 2018 Canadians started to notice that more and more of their fellow Canadians started to wear Yellow Vests. I have also taken notice and have been watching this unfold over the past few months. This wearing of the \u201cYellow Vest\u201d has become synonymous with the events taking place world wide \u2013 albeit, in Canada we are relatively peaceful. There have been truck\/car rallies, placard waving, chants but the fundamental reasoning for all of this is that our elected officials have turned a deaf ear to Canadians.<\/p>\n
Certainly, there have been those who would attempt to inspire violence \u2013 but in most cases violence does nothing but harm the intent of those organizing these events. And there will always be elements, in any movement and\/or any political party, that are considered radical. In most cases, though, each of these groups have, as a foundation, a true honest intent of just trying to have their voices heard by those we elect. This all boils down to respecting the people.<\/p>\n
This Yellow Vest movement has been particularly active in Western Canada where many are facing dire times. That is because the federal government, supported by a minimal group of environmentalists, has decided that there will be no new pipelines built for them to get their oil to tide water. This is a fundamental reason for Canada to have a federal government in the first place.<\/p>\n
The federal government of Canada is to ensure that when it comes to the interest of all Canadians that one or more provinces cannot block the transportation of goods. It took a federal government to build the railway from coast to coast and pipelines aren\u2019t any different \u2013 if anything they have less of an impact than the building of a railway. This is not to take away from rail \u2013 this is just to show what and why we have a federal government.<\/p>\n
Now we find that this \u201cYellow Vest\u201d movement has spread from the West to all other provinces and we understand that the people of Canada are very concerned about their sovereignty. They feel that the federal government has betrayed Canadians based on an open-door policy for immigration and under the United Nations (UN) Immigration and Refugee Compact. And yet what Canadians haven\u2019t realized that this UN interference in Canada\u2019s sovereignty has been going on for decades. That\u2019s right Canada \u2013 you undermined your own sovereignty decades ago with the UNESCO designations. You undermined your own sovereignty decades ago with the past Immigration and Refugee Act, and you most certainly undermined your own sovereignty with the various \u201cfree trade deals.\u201d<\/p>\n
This movement of global trade has only increased the harm to our Canadian identity and this will certainly be exacerbated when and if Canada moves to 5G, let alone what is presently available regarding smart phones, etc. Unknown to the majority of Canadians is that Japan, Korea and China have a trilateral agreement in place. This should be sending red-flags to our federal government as it has to other nations. It has not and that is very concerning considering the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Canada has already seen the effects of these agreements with the Green Energy Act in Ontario \u2013 therefore more research should be done regarding these purported trade deals prior to them being entered.<\/p>\n
There are many issues that the Yellow Vest movement have \u2013 but the main reasoning for this movement is that government is not listening to the fundamental premise of Canadian\u2019s \u2013 that Canadians demand referendum on the big issues as in immigration, international trade deals and what we will accept from the UN. This is our right as Canadians! Just because Pierre Elliot Trudeau violated that sanctity with his 1982 document (constitution) does not allow successive governments the same things \u2013 not if they fully understand that in violating Canadians they are, in fact, violating themselves.<\/p>\n
In 2009 it was stated, in the UK House of Lords:
\n\u201cThe strengths are that it allows the people to have a final say on fundamental changes affecting the constitution. It has become standard in most democratic countries to require referendum before constitutional changes. How does, and how should, the referendum relate to the UK\u2019s system of parliamentary democracy? I think this question has been answered by history. The debate as to whether referendums are compatible with a Diceyan constitution was raised by Wilson in the House of Commons in 1967 \u2013 but when it became opportune, he changed his mind. Referendums are no \u2013 to use a somewhat technical term \u2013 \u201ca convention of the constitution\u201d. Further the argument that they are not compatible with the doctrine of the Sovereignty of Parliament has been eroded by the practice of referendums in this country \u2013 as well as by extensive usage of referendums in New Zealand (a country without a written constitution and explicit adherence to the principle of the sovereignty of Parliament).\u201d House of Lords, Select Committee on the Constitution, 12th Report of Session 2009-10, p. 192.<\/p>\n
Canadian\u2019s Constitutional rights involve Referenda and therefore Pierre Elliot Trudeau and successive governments have violated Canadian\u2019s fundamental rights to referenda, particularly, when there is to be a major change to our constitution, including foreign trade and\/or UN agreements. Now we all have a better understanding as to why there is a Yellow Vest movement and why Canadians are saying things need to change for the betterment of our sovereignty and for the future of Canada.<\/p>\n
After all isn\u2019t a Canadian\u2019s fundamental identity \u2013 True North Strong and FREE!<\/p>\n
