The Latest News on Bill C-51 as of September 1

by Helke Ferrie

In April the federal government informed Canadians that they were going to protect the nation’s children, and the rest of us, against unimaginable harm and potential fraud, in exchange for the loss of our most basic Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms. Towards this end Prime Minister Harper introduced legislation that would effectively outlaw natural health products and give the food, drug, and chemical industries license to saturate our food, medicines, air, water, and soil with as much poison as their cost-benefit calculations might suggest are profitably manageable. Unfortunately, this is no exaggeration.

The Harper government’s proposed Bills C-51 (to amend the Food and Drugs Act) and C-52 (to amend the Hazardous Products Act) appear to have been crafted very carefully along the lines of Hitler’s prescient observation that people are more likely to believe a Big Lie than little ones. Fortunately, unlike Germany in the 1930’s, Canadians have a century and a half of experience with democracy and almost eight hundred years of ancestral memory of Common Law. 

A new Charter of Health Freedom has been created in response to Bill C-51 and C-52, which will resume talks on or around September 15, 2008, when government is back in session.

The Charter is a new proposal drafted by Shawn Buckley, President of the Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA) where a new body titled, the Ministry of Wellness, is being proposed as an alternative and an adjunct to Health Canada.
