RKR & BC First examine the flawed selection of BC’s new Premier-designate

On the heels of the squeaker elevation of broadcaster-politician-soccer Mom Christy Cark to be BC’s next Premier, RoadKill Radio has exposed several serious flaws in the process of that election. On RKR’s March 1 broadcast, BC First leader Chris Delaney joined Kari Simpson and Terry O’Neill in studio to inform listeners and viewers of the two major concerns:
1 –Foreign influence in BC politics
2- Confusion in the Liberal Party’s voting procedure

Vancouver researcher Vivian Krause, by studying documents filed in the USA, found that The Tides Foundation, an arm of billionaire Leftist financier George Soros’ political network, through the Seattle-based Wilberforce Foundation, may have been behind money poured into the coffers of “Organizing for Change”, a BC-based group of environmental extremists devoted to stopping tanker traffic on the BC coast…full story

ALERT! Parents urged to pull kids to protest BCTF’s ‘Day of Silence’ & ‘Anti-homophobia Week’


A British Columbia group has urged parents to take their children out of school to protest “indoctrination” of students by the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF).

At the heart of the issue are BCTF’s support of the pro-homosexual “Day of Silence” April 15, and “Week Against Homophobia” May 17-21.

But Parents for Democracy in Education did not just urge parents to pull their children during those events; the PDES “Parents’ Alert” issued March 4 stated: “The very best action for concerned parents is to pull their children completely out of the tax-funded indoctrination centres that are wrongly called ‘schools’.” …full story

‘Experts’ say pedophilia is just another sexual orientation; what will that mean?

Brian Rushfeldt was close to apoplectic when he was interviewed March 1 on RoadKill Radio. But the Executive Director of Canadian Family Action was still articulate, clear and very common-sensical about the outrageous testimony given by “expert” witnesses to a Senate Committee hearing on Bill C-54, legislation to require minimum mandatory sentences for pedophiles.

“They offered no evidence, only their own opinion,” said Rushfeldt.

He pointed out that one of the “expert” witnesses, Professor Hubert Van Gijseghem of the University of Montreal, who said that pedophilia is “just another sexual orientation”, had given similar ungrounded testimony before parliamentary committees before—always with a slant that supported the contention of pro-‘gay’ activists that in sexual matters, “anything goes.” …full story

Is Christie Clark a bad Canadian? Ten things that identify a ‘bad Canadian’

In our desire to be helpful, RoadKill Radio on its March 1 broadcast offered a guide: How to Spot a really ‘bad Canadian’:

10 – Radio talkers (e.g., Christy Clark) who try to bully people into injecting their kids with an experimental vaccine for an imaginary pandemic. (See Swined, Swooned and Swindled, RKR Fall, 2010)

9 – Someone who accepts $20,000 (e.g., Clark, again) for a political campaign from a lobbyist/non-lobbyist who at one point represented both BC Rail and CN Rail during the tainted sale of public assets from one to the other… full list here

Is Christie Clark a bad Canadian? Ten things that identify a ‘bad Canadian’

 1 Response »
Mar 052011
 

Last year, during the H1N1 “swine flu” scare, when RoadKill Radio was the only news agency that publicized the warnings in the vaccine maker’s Product Information Guide—including warnings that the vaccine had not been tested on some of the target groups—then-broadcaster Christy Clark opined that parents who do not vaccinate their children are “bad Canadians”.

This, in spite of the evidence that
(a) the vaccine had not been fully tested ;
(b) the charge that unvaccinated children are a threat to the health of their vaccinated peers (a palpably false accusation, unless the vaccine does not confer immunity;
(c) there were many reports of vaccine-related (and maybe –caused) illness.

And many parents are asking: “Why have governments granted Big Phara immunity from liability, if their vaccines are safe?”

In our desire to be helpful, RoadKill Radio on its March 1 broadcast offered a guide: How to Spot a really ‘bad Canadian’:

10 – Radio talkers (e.g., Christy Clark) who try to bully people into injecting their kids with an experimental vaccine for an imaginary pandemic. (See Swined, Swooned and Swindled, RKR Fall, 2010)

9 – Someone who accepts $20,000 (e.g., Clark, again) for a political campaign from a lobbyist/non-lobbyist who at one point represented both BC Rail and CN Rail during the tainted sale of public assets from one to the other.

8 – Anyone who accepts $20,000 (e.g., Clark, yet again) for a political campaign from a dubious political backroom operative whose consulting company’s name is identical to a shifty American political consulting firm whose clients include radical pro-abortion and other Leftists groups.

7 – Someone whose close relative’s house was raided by police at the same time as the Legislature raid that led to the Basi-Virk trial.

6 – Someone who thinks the $6 million taxpayers paid for a guilty plea in that trial actually “cleared the air”.

5 – Someone who could not wait ten years—until her son grows up—to run for the top political office in BC, telling the Ottawa Citizen that she wanted to teach him by example how to serve the nation. But the implicit lesson here is that career matters more than parenthood. Is this an example of how we are to define Christy Clark’s “family values” agenda?

4 – Someone whose political financing is linked to expanding the gambling industry.

3 – Someone who trumpets “family values”, but supports all-day kindergarten; and who failed to respond to pro-life editor Paul Schratz’ question: “Is there any possible argument that… would defend the notion that citizens in a democracy are forbidden to know what complications are associated with a medical procedure, paid for with their tax dollars?” – referring to the hiding of abortion statistics in BC.

2 – A premier-designate who won’t pledge to curb the flow of public funds to leeches that milk the tax-paying “cash cows”.

1 – The baddest of a bad Canadian is someone gullible enough to vote for a candidate in a Liberal leadership vote – or a general election – who lip-syncs focus-group tested political strategies designed to seduce, befuddle and deceive those willing to be manipulated by so-called political leaders.

“We think they (the BC Liberals) re trying to destroy the company, then unload it. They mean to set it up to become a loss… They did the same thing with BC Rail.”

Kari Simpson asked, “Shouldn’t BC’s resources be for British Columbians? Why sell them off to American companies?”

Chris Delaney replied: “It shows the influence of the big business lobby on the Liberal Party… I’m not anti-corporation—there are benefits. But the greater benefit of the province’s resources should come to British Columbians…

“Why would you sell BC Rail to an American company? Why wouldn’t you sell it to CP? They sold BC Rail for $1 billion; but it’s been estimated that the value of the right-of-way alone is over $7 billion.”

ALERT! Parents urged to pull kids to protest BCTF’s ‘Day of Silence’ & ‘Anti-homophobia Week’

 Comments Off on ALERT! Parents urged to pull kids to protest BCTF’s ‘Day of Silence’ & ‘Anti-homophobia Week’
Mar 052011
 

A British Columbia group has urged parents to take their children out of school to protest “indoctrination” of students by the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF).

At the heart of the issue are BCTF’s support of the pro-homosexual “Day of Silence” April 15, and “Week Against Homophobia” May 17-21.

But Parents for Democracy in Education did not just urge parents to pull their children during those events; the PDES “Parents’ Alert” issued March 4 stated: “The very best action for concerned parents is to pull their children completely out of the tax-funded indoctrination centres that are wrongly called ‘schools’.”

PDES urged parents instead to consider home-schooling, which the group says produces better results both academically, and in terms of socialization and transmission of the culture from one generation to the next.

Two years ago, PDES sent a reporter to cover a BCTF “conference” in Abbotsford instructing teachers how to incorporate BC’s infamous Corren Settlement Agreement. The report stated that one conference speaker, Fraser Valley University professor Martha Dow, repeatedly called Christians “the enemy”; and reproduced a BCTF handout that indicated the teachers’ union goal to manipulate student attitudes towards homosexuality from “revulsion” to “celebration” Although PDES distributed the news report on that conference widely, none of the “downstream media” carried the information to the public.

The BCTF’s “Code of Ethics” specifically states that the classroom must not be used to indoctrinate students, and PDES says the teachers’ union has violated that code by promoting acceptance of homosexuality.

On the heels of the squeaker elevation of broadcaster-politician-soccer Mom Christy Cark to be BC’s next Premier, RoadKill Radio has exposed several serious flaws in the process of that election. On RKR’s March 1 broadcast, BC First leader Chris Delaney joined Kari Simpson and Terry O’Neill in studio to inform listeners and viewers of the two major concerns:

1—Foreign influence in BC politics
Vancouver researcher Vivian Krause, by studying documents filed in the USA, found that The Tides Foundation, an arm of billionaire Leftist financier George Soros’ political network, through the Seattle-based Wilberforce Foundation, may have been behind money poured into the coffers of “Organizing for Change”, a BC-based group of environmental extremists devoted to stopping tanker traffic on the BC coast.

RoadKill Radio researchers found that $20,000 was donated to the campaign of Premier-designate Christy Clark by sometime lobbyist and former Liberal campaign chairman Patrick Kinsella, who was involved in the sale of BC Rail to CNR—acting, at various times, for both the buyer and the seller.

Mr. Kinsella’s Vancouver-based political counsel firm, Progressive Strategies, has the same name as an American Political Action Consulting firm, named: Progressive Strategies. Progressive Strategies, U.S., has a posted this website motto: Fully-Intergrated Issue Campaigns With a Political Punch, and boosts radical Leftist clients like ACORN, PAW (People for the American Way), Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood.

The Kinsella firm gave $54,000+ to the BC Liberals between 2005 and 2009. Its American namesake publishes a PowerPoint presentation and booklets on its web-site, telling Leftist politicians how to use fake “family values” and seemingly “conservative” economic talking points to lure voters to their anti-family policies.

BC Firstparty leader Chris Delaney has asked Elections BC to investigate the money trail of foreign funding of the selection of a new BC Premier.

On RoadKill Radio, Mr. Delaney told Kari Simpson and Terry O’Neill: “A group out of the United States called The Tides Foundation USA—a big umbrella organization—billions of dollars—that people like George Soros, the Rockefellers, Bill Gates and others… use to engineer… and influence elections in other jurisdictions…

“All of a sudden policy is being driven by people outside the province… we (BC First) reported the story to Elections BC and asked what could be done…

“The Chief Electoral Officer… responded to me this morning on the third go-round: ‘Elections BC has no jurisdiction to interfere or to be involved in how a political party conducts its leadership contest’… short of breaking the actual law, they don’t get involved…

“In terms of financing a political candidate for office or a political party, again, Elections BC has very little to say… a foreign jurisdiction can donate money, can be involved… it has to be reported as an election expense…

“But in this case, what [Soros’] Tides [Foundation] did was, they gave the money to the Wilberforce Foundation (of Seattle), which gave money to Organizing for Change in BC; what they did was, they sent out letters to 28,000 [people in BC] mostly activists from the Left—environmental activists—to join the Party… to stop tanker traffic off the coast of BC…

“Chief Electoral Officer said that if there is a discrepancy after the reports are filed, they would act on that…

“This group—Organizing for Change—did not do what they did on behalf of the Liberal Party; they did it on behalf of themselves. They said, ‘You guys go out and join this Party so you can elect a Premier who will stop tanker traffic (because that’s their issue) off the coast of British Columbia.’

“They’re completely legally entitled to do that; but I think that’s wrong. I don’t care what the issue is—the issue doesn’t matter; the issue aside, no foreign group with foreign money should be allowed to agitate and to influence an election in British Columbia—especially one, although you may call it an internal election, you’re electing a party leader; but you’re actually electing the Premier of British Columbia; that’s a huge hole in the law and it needs to be fixed.”

2—Confusion in the Liberal Party’s voting procedure
There was also reason for serious concern about the “disaster” of the voting procedure: confusion surrounded the Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) issued by the Liberal Party to allow members to vote on-line. RoadKill Radio learned that a caller to a Vancouver talk show said he got a PIN—but had never been a member of the Liberal Party!

Mr. Delaney pointed out another serious concern: thousands of Liberal Party Members did not get their PINs until the day before the vote; and there could be many who did not get their PIN at all.

“The Liberal Party claims they signed up another 60,000 new members for a total of 90,000,” said Mr. Delaney.

[Researcher Vivian Krause notes that the Liberal Party had 30,000 members in BC before the campaign started; the Wilberforce Foundation in Seattle had nearly 70,000 members. When the campaign ended, the BC Liberal Party had nearly 100,000 members—a suspicious co-incidence.]

“They had 61.8 percent of the people actually vote in the election,” said Mr. Delaney. “Christy Clark won the premiership, or the leadership of her party, by 380 votes total; but 30,000 people didn’t vote!

“Now, that’s very different than a general election, where a lot of people just don’t care to vote; when you sign up for a political party, it’s so you can vote. When one-third of the people who are members of your party—who signed up to vote—don’t vote, there’s a problem!…

“Most of the people—a huge number: tens of thousands—did not get their PIN until Friday… Thousands of those people might have been out of town… What that means is that many people didn’t get to vote. If everyone had voted, that might not have been the person chosen. It was a disaster!”

Kari Simpson asked, “Is the Liberal Party doing anything about it? Is there an investigation? Is Kevin Falcon saying, ‘Wait a minute—let’s re-evaluate this, or have a second look.’?”
Chris Delany replied: “They’re all holding hands under the rainbow.”

American ‘foundations’ influencing BC’s campaign for Liberal premier?

 Comments Off on American ‘foundations’ influencing BC’s campaign for Liberal premier?
Feb 262011
 

VANCOUVER, Feb. 26, 2011 (RKR) — BC blogger and researcher Vivian Krause, who has already traced money flowing from several U.S.-based ultra-liberal foundations into Canadian policy debates, told RoadKill Radio Tuesday night that she has found suspicious cash-flows across the border into the BC Liberal Party’s campaign to choose a new leader, and a suspicious coincidence in Liberal Party membership numbers.

“Before the campaign began, the BC Liberal Party had 30,000 members,” Krause told RKR, “and the Wilberforce Foundation in Seattle had 70,000 members. When new memberships closed, the BC Liberal Party had 100,000 members.”

Krause has been investigating foundation funding in US tax returns. She has found a campaign called Organizing for Change, which is a wing of Tides Canada, is getting massive donations from the Wilberforce Foundation.

RKR co-host Terry O’Neill protested the use by radical liberal eco-activists of the name “Wilberforce” (presumably referring to Evangelical politician William Wilberforce, whose 30-year campaign in England’s Parliament succeeded in abolishing slavery in 1830).

Most of the Wilberforce Foundation’s money traces back to James & Rosanna Litwin, said Krause. James Litwin is a co-founder of Microsoft. The foundation has donated laptops for BC Liberal leadership candidates, as well as making cash donations.

Tides Canada has registered $176 million in revenues over the last ten years, Krause added, and has made substantial donations to organizations opposing the Alberta Tar Sands, fighting plans for an oil port on BC’s North Coast, and campaigning against fish farming in BC waters. It has no formal connection to the Tides Foundation of billionaire financier George Soros, but funds nearly identical political movements.

“They now have a $20 million nest-egg,” she told RKR. “If they get 5% interest on that, they have a million dollars a year to fund their political activities.”

She recently had an Op-Ed commentary published in the Vancouver Sun, saying that the Suzuki Foundation should be required to tell the whole story of fish farming. Krause objects to the term “wild salmon”, which puts farmed salmon at a marketing disadvantage. “I call them ‘ranch salmon’,” she says, “because the majority of the fingerlings come from hatcheries and are released into the wild to grow to market size.”

Krause’s web-site, where much more detail is available on American foundations’ influence in Canada, is www.fair-questions.com

UBC agency ‘data-mining’ families through kindergarten students

 Comments Off on UBC agency ‘data-mining’ families through kindergarten students
Feb 072011
 
‘Implied consent’ means no parental approval is needed


Kindergarten students in BC are being used to “data-mine” information about them and their families—with or without parents’ consent.

The Human Early Learning Partnership at the University of BC (H.E.L.P.) recently sent a letter to parents of kindergarten students—now that all-day kindergarten has been imposed on BC families—“informing” them that unless the parents go out of their way to meet with their child’s teacher, consent to the data-mining operation is “assumed”.

Helen Ward of Kids First Canada brought a copy of the H.E.L.P. letter to RoadKill Radio’s studio Feb. 1. The letter says medical health and education records are linked in the project, which gathers personal, private data.

The survey seeks information about kindergartners’ physical health and well-being, social knowledge and competence, emotional health and maturity, language and cognitive development, and general knowledge and communication skills. All the information is linked through a “Personal Education Number” assigned to each child; the child’s name is not on the form—but their P.E.N.s and postal codes are, which make it easy to identify each child—and family.

Kindergarten teachers are asked to give subjective answers about each student to eight pages of questions.

“This isn’t real research,” said Helen Ward, pointing out that there are questions teachers cannot answer without asking parents—including “problems at home.” The teachers will have to guess. And some of the questions—like “are there troubles at home?”—are also intrusive.
