Subject: Canada 'prepared for the worst' amid squabbles over NAFTA, Freeland says
Read on: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/freeland-nafta-fifth-round-prepare-for-worst-1.4412673?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning
We have no reason to be assured that our government is prepared for life without NAFTA.
- We were assured that the government could handle 50,000 Syrian refugees it was determined to bring to Canada as quickly as possible. Many of those Syrians are still struggling with language, adapting to Canada and seeking employment without ongoing federal assistance and resources.
- We were assured that the government could manage people illegally entering Canada from the USA to claim asylum and it is now evident that we do not have the manpower or resources to deal with the influx. The asylum seekers are clogging up the system making legitimate immigrants and refugees suffer longer waits.
- We were assured that the government would fix the Phoenix pay system and now find out that may take many years and well excess of half a billion dollars to repair the problems.
- We discover that the Canada Revenue Agency is in shambles, does not even answer thousands of telephone requests for information and that the information provided is wrong 30% of the time. This is an Agency renowned for its arrogance and harsh treatment of taxpayers it deems to owe taxes. We have no reason not to suspect that CRA tax assessments are not also wrong 30% of the time.
- We are facing a new carbon tax commencing January 1st, 2019 and have no idea how this will impact our cost of living. Our government doesn�t know either or it would provide us with information rather than climate change rhetoric.
- Efforts to �fix the tax system� by demonizing small business and trying to tax employee benefits have made us angry and suspicious.
- Ignoring lax regulations on offshore investments that results in the loss of many millions in tax revenue tells us that the government is not governing on behalf of or for the benefit of citizens and taxpayers.

Subject: Liberals demand full implementation of UN Indigenous rights declaration
This is outrageous.
We elect representatives to go to Ottawa and govern on our behalf. They propose and debate Bills that they either amend and pass or reject. The scope of the subjects they can paws law on are set out in our constitution.
Our government has no authority to turn a United Nations declaration into law and insist that other Canadian laws conform to the UN declaration. That is an affront to the sovereignty of Canada and outside of the federal government�s constitutional authority. The United Nations is not elected and is not accountable to anyone. Canadians cannot toss out the UN if it is not happy with its policies.
The United Nations has also passed a Universal Declaration of Human rights. Are we to understand that indigenous people are not included in that �universal declaration�? Canada cannot legislate a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Human Rights legislation and separate rights for indigenous people. We are one nation and one society.
Quebec has been granted use of the Civil Code in Quebec, but the Civil Code has been rewritten in Canada for Canadians just as British Common Law has been rewritten in Canada, for Canadians.
A copy of Bill C-22, the enabling legislation is attached. The content is highly discriminatory ensuring that our indigenous people will never become part of our mainstream society.
By supporting this MDP Private Member�s Bill, the government has rendered the MMIW inquiry and future recommendations worthless. Proceeding before this inquiry has even reported is not in the best interests of indigenous people.
The Liberal government�s initiative to adopt foreign policy as law when it is too lethargic and uncaring to rewrite and update the Indian Act and associated legislation is as outrageous as it is repulsive.

Subject: Canada on alert as US announces end to temporary resident status for Haitians
Read on: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/us-temp-status-haiti-canada-alert-1.4411637?cmp=news-digests-canada-and-world-morning
We are already receiving Haitians entering from the US illegally. The farce continues. Goodale seems unable to grasp that Haitians wanting to go back to Haiti would do so. Conditions in Haiti may have �improved� but do not match the living standards in the US or Canada.
Temporary residency should have to be renewed each year. Allowing temporary residency for seven years builds an expectancy that the residency will become permanent. People find work, buy homes and cars and can�t take it all with them when they return home.
The Haitians do not qualify as refugees as they were originally fleeing a natural disaster and were offered temporary residency pending rebuilding of their nation of origin.
Canada began winding down its program for temporary residency of Haitians in December 2014 and eventually extended the end date to August 2016. About 3,200 Haitians were slated for deportation and many have been sent home.
Haitians entering Canada from the US have very little hope of staying here. Most have come and will come due to misinformation spread on social media. Haitians on temporary residency in Canada could apply for citizenship which was granted to those who applied and qualified. Those who did not apply or did not qualify are being deported. That program is over. New arrivals do not have the option of applying for citizenship. We are thrust into a messy and expensive situation abetted by our government�s refusal to segregate people entering the country illegally.
We have a humanitarian obligation to provide clothing, food, emergency health care and shelter to illegal aliens, but that should be done in internment camps where they stay until their application can be processed. We have no obligation to welcome them into our society while their applications and appeals are heard. We have the resources; let�s do it properly.
John Feldsted
