Bill C36 takes away right to choose

The world of control is all about assumptions.

I was taught the definition of democracy was: of the people, for the people, by the people. We generally assume that when we vote for a representative in Parliament, that member will respect the will of the people. Not so!

Let me give you an example in brief. I practise for myself holistic health care; honouring my belief system that my health and well-being requires my active participation, not passively giving away my responsibility, my power, to some conventional medicine practices with their own agenda that may be against the innate intelligence of my body.

We are all energy and the body does not lie. Energy identifies what is true for your body. All bodies are unique, therefore one thing does not fit all, whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual. This is simple truth and the key to wellness.

I had read Bill C36, and believing in democracy and the freedom to choose, I wrote a letter to my member of Parliament, asking that he vote against Bill C36, The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. There were petitions against the bill in most health food stores, signed by hundreds.

Regardless of the opposition to the bill, it was passed by all parties unopposed. So much for democracy and elected representation.

This bill is actively limiting our freedom to choose natural health products, including those the innate intelligence of the body says are the ones that will work for that particular body, no guessing. We all want safety in our food, which is what they advocate. The bill, however, is much deeper than it appears. I’ve read it.

The playing field is anything but level. The same rules do not apply to conventional medicine.

Allow me to repeat: the whole world of control is about assumptions. Take action. The game is truth or consequences!
