Canadians have voiced significant concerns about the Canada- #China Investment Agreement ( #FIPA ), which will have huge ramifications for Canada, its people, and future generations. Yet the government is ratifying the treaty without public scrutiny or any consultations. Canadians are being kept in the dark.
That’s why yesterday I put forward a…[En afficher davantage]

Excellent, although I don’t see how the SumOfUs petition associates me with NDPs or Greens.

Jennifer: I have seen so many different petitions on this. Some from the NDP and the Greens. And I guess from Sumofus.
One thing, we have had none from the Liberal Party because I don’t think Wayne Easter has a lot of fire in his belly on this topic.

While I agree with the principle of the resolution you are looking for in the Palriament Joyce, I still consider Government of China not being legitimate business entity from my persepective. No foreign government should be allowed to buy a territorial part of Canada. It is our sovereign right and it must not be corrupted by ownership by a foreign…[En afficher davantage]

Is it true that the secret China/Canada trade agreement calls for no oil upgrading of crude oil or bitumen in Canada. Someone please confirm. If it is so I will advise everyone on my email list and encourage everyone else to do likewise..

who knows what’s in the agreement it’s all done in secret no discussion in parliamnet or with the provinces..how 159 or so mps who are supposed to represent all canadians be so timid as not to voice thier concern..oh I know their pension plans.

I think we need an all opposition party walk out from the House of Commons to draw conservative’s attention to do the right thing. Face democracy and democratic rights of all Canadians.
Should they ignore it then invite them to Join Jintao’s government in China to undemocratically rule the masses.
Shall we say the sheep? :)

The #CohenCommission report has serious implications for the future of the sockeye salmon fishery and Canada’s aquaculture industry and must be studied by Parliament.

I have been discussing the legalisation of #cannabis with Stop The Violence BC (http://stoptheviolencebc.org/) and was wondering if any of you were familiar with their work? Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on gang-related gun violence in your community’s streets, and if you think that taking the regulation, control and profits from cannabis…[En afficher davantage]

I live in downtown Toronto. We are plagued by gang-related gun violence. There is no question in my mind that there is a direct link between gang violence and marijuana prohibition and that the legalization AND regulation of marijuana would have a profound impact on gang violence.
This is from my memory of a conversation with youth that lived in…[En afficher davantage]

Cannabis is a cash cow for organized crime, just as alcohol was during prohibition. If the government takes over the distribution of it, it would make a big dent in the income of many criminal organizations. This by itself is a good enough reason for doing so. There will still be gangs and gang violence because there are plenty of other crimes…[En afficher davantage]

I agree with what you are saying … but … the term “decriminalization” generally refers to turning possession of small quantities into a misdemeanour while still keeping production and sale illegal. This keeps the profits ($5 billion a year) in the hands of gangs and organized crime.
Policy resolution 117 calls for the LEGALIZATION and…[En afficher davantage]

I regard that Mr. Justin Trudeau is in an excellent position to address some of the most serious questions facing Canadians. In a sense the writing of economist John Hotson trace back the growth in Canada’s national debt to an error that was made by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the early ’70′s!
But, there are positive aspects to our…[En afficher davantage]

I am no expert on the issue of cannabis in any way but it is obvious that your statement Mr. Macleod is accurate and must be considered:

This week (14-20th October) is #smallbusiness week. Small businesses account for 98% of all companies, 40% of our GDP, and half of all new job vacancies! Yet many of Canada’s entrepreneurs I have met with continue to experience significant challenges that are being exacerbated by recent government policies.
Please use this week to write to your…[En afficher davantage]

Hi All, I’ve been working hard recently to find out how the Conservative government’s cuts to the Canadian #tourism industry (for example, the government has slashed funds for our international marketing and cut funds, staff and season-length for national parks) have affected our tourism operators and #smallbusinesses. I would love to know how…[En afficher davantage]

Get the CAD to drop below the USD again. Our petro-dollar has done more harm to tourism than any cuts to marketing, I think. Time was we were a cheap vacation – now? Not so much. Just a few years back 70 cents US got you a dollar’s worth of Canadian fun. Now .. it costs you a buck 5.
Realistically though, I would expect tourism to be down at…[En afficher davantage]

Ken: The US economy is in bad shape right now. Your reduced sales could simply be a function of the economic uncertainty.
Many people aren’t secure in their jobs and others are unemployed.
The only problem is the current state of the US is probably going to stay the same or get worse because they can’t balance their budget.

The currency is definitely a factor, but the high value of the Canadian dollar is more a story about the low value of the US dollar. Also, US tourism was affected negatively once the US required its citizens to have a valid passport to cross the land border crossings. Before that, Americans came across the border to shop and to visit as if we…[En afficher davantage]

Hi Joyce, thanks for taking the time to talk to Canadians about issues surrounding our country. This new website is a great way for everyone to feel that their voice is being heard and connect directly with MPs.

Hi Joyce, the comments in your news release pretty much say it all.
