The Battle Against Bill C-6
September 2009 Features
How Proposed New Legal Principles are Undermining Your Health Freedom

by Shawn Buckley
Introduction by Helke Ferrie

“The numbers on the Bills have changed, but whether the Prime Ministers are Liberal or Conservative, the message remains unchanged. Bills C-27 and C-28 of 2004 became C-51 and C-52 in 2008, and now we have C-6.

The first batch of bills, a “modernization” of the Food and Drugs and Hazardous Products Acts, would have “prevented Canadians from suing Health Canada for negligence, even for flagrant failures like … the tainted-blood scandal [and] greatly increased the likelihood that unsafe drugs and hazardous products make their way to market” (The Globe and Mail, November 10, 2004). The shift was from the international “precautionary principle” to the corporate “risk management” – meaning all industries regulate themselves without any independent oversight. Agricultural chemicals, drugs untested and of mysterious chemistry, pest control products, and food additives were completely exempted from being identified as “adulteration” at residues higher than internationally permitted. Ottawa’s The Hill Times wrote on April 25, 2005: “Hocus-pocus, adulteration is not adulteration if the Minister of Health says so! The effect of bill C-28 is to eviscerate the Minister of Health’s statutory duty to protect the public from health hazards and fraud…”

When the Liberals lost to the Conservatives, Stephen Harper continued where Paul Martin had left off by re-introducing the same Bills, only now far meaner, namely C-51 and C-52. In an open letter to the PM, I observed that if these bills were “passed into law, they would pose a threat to public health, the rule of law, and the freedom of scientific research. Both Bills, to my mind, display an equally unparalleled disregard for the spirit, and most probably also the letter, of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” An analysis of these four Bills is found in my book What Part of No! Don’t They Understand? available for free downloading from kospublishing.com.

Hi Mr. Blaikie,

This is a copy of a letter sent to the Bill C-51 Committee tendering my resignation from the PC party. If you are in opposition to Bill C-51 and C-52, you have my support and vote. I am one of the constituents in your Transcona-Elmwood riding. Please help me defeat these Bills. You may you use this and the letter below in any way you see fit to affect the passing of those two Bills. I'm angry and not as cordial as I usually am, but this is how I feel.

Sincerely,

Ken Dyck

Dear Bill C-51 Committee Members,

I am outraged that our party, of which I am an honorary trustee campaign member, has presented to the House such treasonous pieces of legislation. The Spirit and Letter of these Bills C-51 & C-52 have nothing to do with protecting Canadians with poor quality health products, but rather the destruction of the natural health industry in Canada. These Bills will go farther than just allowing Health Canada to break the existing laws of the country, it will allow Health Canada to operate outside of the court system.

Seven years ago I fell victim to Health Canada not allowing a naturally formulated product {extremely anti-pathogenic} to be registered. Currently my brother-in-law has tried to register an all natural single ingredient product that has also been denied in the agricultural sector. Our two products and others like it would have inflicted heavy damage to the pharmaceutical companies' established market {in our opinion} while simultaneously improving the health of livestock and food chain in Canada. In our own product trials that we had conducted on numerous farms, we had completely eliminated the need for antibiotics or drugs of any kind while producing superior animals.

To add insult to injury, my brother-in-law's product was classified by Health Canada as a drug because it was too potent to be considered just another natural product. I have had other friends and associates that have had their products seized without warrant or court order under the allegation that those products were tainted with heavy metals and poisonous substances. These allegations were proved to be false by two independent lab tests but not before they were discredited on national TV by Health Canada, and internationally on the Health Canada web site. This is something that is happening right now even though there are no legal provisions do to so. The proposed legislation will also give Health Canada the power to seize bank accounts, again without a court order. They will become the judge, the jury, and the executioner modeled after Judge Dread of Marvel Comic fame. The only difference in the comic book version, Judge Dread went after the drug companies {sorry, I meant drug pushers}.

Tony Clement and Health Canada are trampling on the Constitution and the Charter and SO ARE YOU.

I have had to make the decision to remove myself from the party membership until the proponents of these two Bills are no longer with the party. I cannot in good conscience be affiliated with a party that would even consider presenting Bills like this to the House. This is high treason.

You must also consider the fact the Tony Clement may have a conflict of interest. These Bills are written in the tradition of the Liberal Party and the Communist Party, NOT the Conservative Party.

Please consider this my resignation from the party. I will be calling the office on Monday. Tony Clement and his goose stepping morons at Health Canada can stick these Bills in their Panzershreck and smoke it.

Cheers,

Ken Dyck

Bill C-51: Will the US take over Canada through Vitamin Legislation?

Bill C–51 proposes re–labeling therapeutic products under the umbrella of prescription drugs. This new legislation would limit access to holistic products and impose rigorous approval tests upon alternative therapies already being safely used and sold in stores.
“Alarmingly, C–51 also allows federal enforcement agents to raid our homes or business without a warrant, seize bank accounts, levy fines of up to $5 million and enforce jail terms up to two years on anybody it determines has contravened the new Act,” reports the Peanut Mill.
“In effect, that could even be you giving your neighbour herbs from your backyard garden. Your access to products as benign as camomile or vitamin C could, in the current form of Bill C–51, become illegal.”
Early reports suggest that under Bill C–51, approximately three quarters of all natural health products on the market today would not be able to obtain license for sale and therefore disappear from the store shelves. Yearly fees to sell natural health products would put both manufacturers and distributors out of business.

Bill C-51 - why is there a Trojan Horse clause in a vitamin bill? Canadians do not need Vitamin N(AFTA).
