I find it interesting that in the entire world there are 2500 municipalities involved and 500 of them are in Canada. My small city is one and I know that as we have to put our garbage in clear garbage bags and if it is deemed 10% or more that can be recycled you get a $75 fine. We are allowed a privacy bag for the bathroom. Now we have begun sorting more things separately. Containers in the bin and then Styrofoam in a separate bag, and soft plastic in a separate bag on top. Separate bin for paper and only a certain amount of cardboard is now allowed for pickup. Recycling paint is a limited amount and seems to depend on who you are.

Wait, you’re complaining about recycling? I worked at a recycling plant. The conditions the Pickers work in are highly hazardous. I think improper recycling habits should be fined. We often get exploding canisters of bear mace, full propane tanks often make their way to the baler, which violently explode like a grenade, blue bins filled with dog poop, leaky car batteries... people throw their kids’ diapers in blue bins all the time; it’s absolutely gross. Large amounts of cardboard cannot go through the screens; so much more.

Cities have an egregious amount of waste that simply is not thrown away properly (the migrants made it even worse). A year after I quit the recycling plant job, I worked. (Because I care more now.) I investigated my area’s litter problem, since I was tired of seeing it everywhere on my morning runs, as it reminded me of the recycling plant. 70-80% of waste on the ground (litter) comes from our blue bins, which is blown away from poor recycling habits. I’m not agreeing with it, but agenda 21 is sort-of, double speak. It’s like, yes, we should work in these certain areas more, but the actual policies they come up with are wrong and destructive. And obviously intended to be used for something corrupt. (Kicking International Council out of local Environmental Initiatives is absolutely necessary.)

Like the Foresters have said, “Let the industry adjust itself.” However, waste management is a story, old technology is still used, few people have made improvements. I wished people didn’t accumulate junk, kept their old cars running, and that we build our own things, update or garbage trucks. Kicking all these poor policies away is a matter of implementing the correct ones by people who actually work in these respective industries. I fully support forming a shadow government.

You are preaching to the choir. I don't own a vehicle and most everything I own is used. The idea that we must get used to 'surveillance' is the thorn. Apartment buildings do not recycle at all, it's the home owner that is being affected. I now buy plastic bags to sort garbage, we don't get them at the grocery store any longer yet now buy them for a single use. I am also limited in the amount of cardboard I put out for recycling.

My city just sent me a letter telling me that the previous owner of my house did not pay her water bill and they are adding it to my taxes.

The last street I lived on the people on the other side of the road were and still are being egregiously flooded because a church behind them high on a hill, cut down all the trees and paved a huge parking lot and sloped it to their backyards with no drainage. The city told me that churches get to do things others can't and that they had changed city bylaw and it's not city water coming down the road after that church water flows through taxpayers backyards and out into the streets. It's everybody's water.

There is so much happening in my town I can't keep track of it all.

Okay... but I guarantee they're not surveilling your garbage. The Garbage-man could care less, the Picker cares even less, and the Corpos care even far less; unless there's money. As long as it's not something like baby diapers in the blue bin, an enormous TV box... any kind of, "seriously?", sort-of-deal that's obvious... you could literally put an explosive device in your blue bin and they wouldn't be able to track it back to arrest you. In fact, they wouldn't even lift a finger. They just steal money off of the employees pay-checks to send flowers to anyone that died, then throw a pizza party next week.

They are giving $75 fines. Yes they are looking through garbage I have had people from other streets ask to put their garbage at my curb because they didn't take it.

They look through the recycling and refuse too. That's how I learned about putting plastic bags in a separate bag. The city has an app now and said we were going to do more recycling. Orillia

Boiling the frog

We sense the slowly rising temperature

We like frogs in water

And we refuse to be boiled

We are jumping out

And crying foul play

And naming the perpetrators

And naming their agendas

And restoring our path

To Love, Truth, Beauty, and Faith.

I'm so confused. I don't know what is information for me, what is for presenting to council, ..brain is bursting. Is there a 'clear' guide that includes everything?

Very important discussion going on right now, Livestream Podcast regarding UNDRIP with law Professor Bruce Pardy , and CDN Constitutional Lawyer Leigthon Gray on Dr. Rima's Podcast "People for People" . UNDRIP is a difficult concept, but it's intentions are to destroy each nation...ALL NATIONS are affected.

Just a quick question and you've probably already addressed it before but in the short video where you say, "Pointing out the fact that any act preparatory to the takeover of our nation is an act of treason." How do you explain that this document "Promoting Sustainable Development through Strategic Action: A Municipal Primer on the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development" is actually an act preparatory to the takeover of our nation? (Again, this is probably obvious and in another video but could you direct me? Thanks!)

Probably agree that a certain area needs work, but disagree on the arrangement. Waste management needs an overhaul, for example. Transportation needs an overhaul. The correct policies and action should be implemented by Canadians who have legitimate expertise in these areas. Then people ask, "How do we choose the correct people." Simple, pick the people who are last.

I hope we are not too late.

I was reading about the GLOBE Forum 2024 private (by invite only) meetings, held recently in Vancouver. Then to the CCI Canadian Climate Institute, and eventually ending up at a Government of Canadas Wiki, that they've been using for promoting policy for the UN SDG's

https://wiki.gccollab.ca/Virtual_Engagement_Resource_Centre_for_All

These sites are full of a lot of concerning bs.

fwiw, to get to the GC wiki, I was just trying to look into some 'mandates' I had seen mentioned with regards to huge health care costs for the fires last year.. ('proposed regulatory initiatives related to outdoor air quality as mandated by the Treasury Board Cabinet Directive on Regulatory Management').

I haven't tracked that down yet. But no doubt they're trying to legislate guidelines fleshed out by the WHO.

I find this report very disturbing.

Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developmentxx and to achieve the UN Sustainable

Development Goals"
