My letter to Jacques Y. Boudreau, New Party Leader of the Libertarians (also temp Leader of Ontario Libertarian Party)
Sir,
I received two emails from your office today -the appended and the sustaining membership form
and that is what prompted me to write
- I hear you very loud and clear, and I like what you are saying
At one time (~1993-96) I too was on Exec at OLP & LPC and ran in two elections for them/you/us
On the video you make many good points about the Fisc, Lockdowns, Inflation/Prices ..... and apathy.
Perhaps, since you are in Ontario, we can talk about some of these things herein
The Covid-craviness should be the Lever that pushes complacent Canadians (esp the not-Jabbed) to a) think about The Political Problem in Canada and b) do "something about it"
Question is -- what essentially is The Root of The Problem and what might be the array of possible Solutions?
In my view many Cdns over 50years old KNOW that something is wrong (compared to the Canada they knew in their youth)
- but just cannot put their finger on what it is?
How could they know - they spent their entire life leaving complex things to the experts (and were encouraged to do so)
Relying on the assertion that those Experts would Do the Right Thing, would be reliable Stewards and could be trusted to act in defense of the Common Good
The/We looked after our own families/jobs/ lives and (as per Myron Baloney) benignly neglected Watching the Watchers, eternal vigilance etc etrc
Surprise surprise after 20+ years studying it --- I know what that something is - yes, but only the thinking portion of the Canadian polity who are not (un)consciously-committed to anti-God, anti-Family, anti-property and anti-Free Enterprise are open to the suggestion of what that "something" might be (and have the curiosity AND patience to check the details and implications)
I sent a detailed reply to Mr Pardy at Queens article in the Fin Post and I'm finding allies within the anti-mandate, anti-compliance-passport, anti-lockdown, anti-VAXX Action groups (Action4Canada, thepowershift) plus the 'outsider' politicos Derek Sloan and Belinda/Jim Karahalios (who also seem to be starting/building NEW parties) and now you
1) THE TWO BIG PARTIES in Canada have become (since 1940) The Problem. They (from their place in the Legislative Power) took over The Executive Power during the War Effort and never gave it back
Today, a 50%+1 PM is an almost unstoppable tyrant/king (now subsidizing the purse a corporate Media)
As it's said "when you strike at the King, you must Kill the King" in Canada the PMO/PCO cabal is headed by the King. -- see my two Diagrams from 2006 appended
2) STARTING/BUILDING another party is NOT the solution.
Sorry. I know you are committed to that task which is a real grind (I don't want to be negative & say it's an impossible task)
- but If the Libs have a general 25% support between elections, the PC's 25% and the UnioNDP have 15% ( Never mind that only 5% of Cdn's hold party m/ships in between elections)
What's left? to start/build a party? to attract funds? to inspire Candidates?
Finally, why, IF YOU did get to hold those same reins of power ... would your bunch behave any differently?!?
3) Any solution must be a magnet that attracts the innate beliefs and self-interests of Carol/Jean Canuck and it must not be complex to understand (no reading/research/ study of boring old books necessary, just "sounds good to me" agreement)
4) Any solution must be EASY to find others who think the same way and are supporting the solution, it must have a common hero (the everyman Canuck) and a common foe - the bastards in prov Capital and Ottawa that have been lying to them/us since after WW2
5) Any solution must NOT require constitutional Conventions or gathering or debates of interest groups and/or stakeholders (WTF that means) aching for the opp to gain some more power/advantage/amelioration
6) For the same reason as #5 the whole Final Operational Plan for the "replacement of the foe" and "restoration of the hero" must be already written down, have legal authority and be easy to do
7) the Final Operational Plan must be not cost a lot of money nor time to implement/ no phase in/phase out -- just Rescind one Order in Council (PC 1940-1121 appended 2 pages) and Declare a Deemed Disposition of Sovereignty
It must come as an individual revelation -=- I use the example of the Emperor's New Clothes -- a small child blurts out what every person already knew to be true.
8) The SOLUTION is the as-written BNA/Constitution - as-written.
Just Restore it to reality.
Strip the PCO from the PMO and Restore the Democratic Element back to the Lowest place on the power-sharing totem
We just need to do the FINAL step of "patriation" -- transfer the Authority and Assets of Her Majesty the Crown (CDN sovereignty) to the collective resident, taypaying citizenry of Canada ... with that Authority and those Assets placed in trust under the Stewardship of the Existing S12 Governor General. The Person of HM the Crown must remain (because EVERYTHING in Canada is owned/operated/mandated in the Name of the Crown)
We must hold elections to decide the selection of the recommendation for appointment as Future GG (i suggest holding it every-other General election, with the term starting 365 days after the return of the Writs)
Only other thing -- Our Upper House, styled, the Senate will also need it's (never adjusted for Inflation since 1867) $4000 Net Worth AND Net Property Equity Qualifications (s.23) /Disqualifications (s.31) boosted by 30 to 60 times -- that's no problem because i) no other office in Canada HAS a Net Worth/Net Equity qualification and ii) no other Dollar amount in Canada has NOT been adjusted for inflation.
See you

Hello Robert -- The board met on Sunday November 21st and we discussed the following: - Following my October update, a number of you expressed an interest in volunteering for the party, which was great news. We briefly discussed how best to match these offers of help with our needs but there is some additional work required before we can assign tasks to these volunteers. Stay tuned, I hope to have something soon.
- As you are well aware, many people across the country are losing their jobs for failure of providing a proof of vaccination, and the party has been approached to see if we could provide them with letters of support. We discussed whether we should do this and if so, how best to proceed. As a next step, I will be writing a draft letter that I will share with the board members for input. The board members recognize that private companies should be allowed to set whatever rules of employment they see fit but we believe it’s a different story for governments and crown corporations.
- A member had sent me a proposal for modifying the constitution and by-laws of the party that would aim to reward the most active party members. Discussions are on-going on this issue.
Other matters: - I appeared on True North’s Andrew Lawton show last week and it was posted on iTunes and YouTube on November 19th. Check it out if you get a chance and share it with others. It’s good exposure for the party.
- The Austrian government has decided to make vaccinations mandatory in early 2022. This is a frightening development. It’s bad enough that most governments claim 100% ownership of our income, deciding how much they’ll let us keep but this amounts to claiming ownership of our bodies as well. It’s completely unacceptable and must be resisted strenuously. The pattern during the COVID pandemic has been clear: a few countries enact some measures that are then copied by other countries when they observe the original countries getting away with them. I fear the same in this instance. If Austrians don’t rise up and force their government to back down, this measure will likely be adopted by other countries including ours. Trudeau’s propensity to authoritarianism almost guarantees it. I encourage all of you to sound the alarm on this and to write to your MPs and MPPs/MLAs telling them that this measure is unacceptable.
- Bruce Pardy is a professor of law at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Concerned that civil liberties are under unprecedented attacks in our country, he has started a petition calling for an immediate end to vaccine passports and mandates. I strongly encourage you to take a few minutes to read the declaration and sign it. As libertarians we should take every opportunity to support those who fight for freedom and liberty. Please go to https://www.freenorthdeclaration.ca
- Finally, I encourage you to give to the party. A donation of up to $400 results in a tax credit of 75% when filing you income tax. In other words, a donation of $400 would only cost you $100 after the tax credit. I’m presenting the following pertinent information in case you are in a particularly generous mood:
