Speech to Douro Dummer

Small Success in Rural Council

On August 1, 2023, Maggie spoke to the Douro Dummer Council, regarding the U.N.-driven, Official Plan 2050, “a death sentence to their township.”

Sixty-five locals filled the room.

The councilors agreed that they “could not in good faith approve the Peterborough Counties Official Plan.”

Speech to Douro Dummer

Like the majority of the population, I was raised to believe that climate change was a threat to our planet. I took Ecosystems Management at Sir Sandford Fleming College in the hopes of understanding climate change and one day to work for the U.N.

I found that, the science behind climate change was nothing more than propaganda, and it stemmed from unelected international organizations.

• Just a few scientific facts about that…

  • Carbon Dioxide makes up 0.04% of the Earth's atmosphere

  • It is plant food

  • We are made of carbon

  • We breathe out CO2

  • The plants breathe in CO2 and produce oxygen

  • The more CO2 that is in the atmosphere, the more the plants grow

  • And Canadas trees absorb 7x more CO2 than we put out

  • Canada has an amazing resource of fuel on the west coast

  • There is no need for Canada to aim for NetZero but 2050

  • We need to drive our cars; we need to heat our homes

• These goals make everyone's lives harder

• More people die from colder temperatures than warmer temperatures

• What Canada is doing with the U.N. "Sustainability" goals harms our society and public health.

Now I want to go into what happened here in Canada with the United Nations.

In 1992, Brian Mulroney signed CANADA on to U.N. Agenda 21. A total of 178 countries agreed because this international agreement promised them "big money" to go "green."  

Once signed, CANADA became a U.N. Member State, a Nation State, and all of our towns were, in a sense, abandoned or merged with others to form UN CITY STATES, of which Peterborough is now one, and Douro Dummer is part of its lower tier.

By the year 2000, we saw countries being "governed" by the direction of the United Nations, G7, G20, Council of Foreign Relations, World Bank, World Economic Forum (WEF), World Health Organization, and an organization you're probably quite familiar with, the International Council on Local and Environmental Issues, that acronym is pronounced ICLEI and is all over the reports for our municipal reports. This international organization is acting as a consultant group to all of our towns across the country.

Municipal Primer

Instead of following parliamentary procedures for law changes, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities sent the Municipal Primer to all of our towns in 1994. This Municipal Primer outlined how our local governments were to be restructured. 

• Our public officials - our elected mayors & councilors - were to be partnered with a private corporation taking upon itself (the name of our towns and cities) 

• A Chief Administrative Officer (CAOs) was brought in to implement the global agenda instead of a local one.

• The International Council on Local and Environmental Issues (ICLEI) became the primary source for consultation to push and fund the global agenda.

• It is then that public funds and assets began to be redirected to private development goals & foreign investors under the guise of "saving the planet." 

Now to review the Official Plan for Douro Dummer on the table tonight…

Under this U.N. CITY STATE arrangement, Peterborough County holds planning responsibility for Douro-Dummer. They also have the chair position for the NGO Sustainable Peterborough, which is partnered with ICLEI.

The Official Plan for any community should depend on engagement with those who live and work in that community. Not those from outside the community and certainly not from international organizations. 

This Plan was pushed through during Covid, with much of the growth data being skewed by the emergency measures.

1.    Martina Chait-Hartwig (Acting Clerk) is not from this area, nor was she elected, yet she took on a pivotal role in decision-making for this Official Plan with nearly zero community engagement (other than posting online).

2.    Douro-Dummer is not even a single percent of the proposed population growth for Peterborough County. Despite provincial and local pushback, Peterborough County still drives all growth to "Settlement Areas" like Cavan, Lakefield (Selwyn) and the City of Peterborough. This Plan is essentially a plan to dissolve this dear township Douro Dummer. This council should reject the Official Plan based on the growth analysis alone.

3.    Another aspect of the Plan is that it classifies most of Douro Dummer as "Prime Agricultural." This is based on faulty Provincial mapping. Douro loves its farms, but the "protection of agricultural areas" (as it puts it), by a top-down governing structure has made it so that farmers no longer have the right to sell off their land parcels. Instead of protecting agricultural areas, this means that farmers have to sell their entire farm, no longer able to give a parcel to their family, no longer able to sell it off in a hard time, or buy equipment. I know that the mayor and councillors already know this is already in this area, and approving this Plan is not in accordance with the wishes of the people of Douro Dummer. 

Now I'd like to shift gears to the portion of the Plan referring to climate change, found on pages 134,135 of the Official Plan.

Since you are under Peterboroughs planning authority, I will be referring to the City of Peterboroughs Environmental Committee Reports from this year.

Firstly Report, PEAC 23–010

• In here is a link to a plan that identifies actions required to achieve NetZero by 2050. 

• Measures include a vague reference to "targeting mobility." 

In Report, PEAC 23–002 

• It states that Peterborough declared a Climate Emergency in 2019. No local event triggered this declaration. Nothing has changed in our local climate; if anything, its getting colder. This emergency declaration came through a global agenda not the local agenda.

• This report states that the city participated in ICLEI Canadas, Advancing Adaptation Project and received a grant of $15,000. A financial audit of our municipalities would find billions of dollars being funneled from the U.N. through ICLEI to our municipalities since 1994.

• Most disturbingly, this reports states that the recent reductions in GHG emissions were PRIMARILY the result of the COVID-19 pandemic "modifying our travel patterns"; this is repeated in report PEAC 23–009 

When you put this together with the previous statements about "targeting mobility," the question of whether our SACRED mobility and the legal rights of Canadians are now at stake.

Verbal Notice

Regardless of Canada being a U.N. Member, no level of government has the authority to implement foreign mandates, policies, treaties or any agreements that violate the Canadian constitution, the Charter of Rights and Freedom, the Bill of Rights or the Coronation Oath. Conspiring with foreign powers to assist in any act preparatory to the takeover of our nation is an act of treason according to section 46(1) of the Canadian Criminal Code.

Verbal Remedy

With that, I would like to speak directly to the elected Mayor and Council to present a plan for saving Douro Dummer and protecting the integrity of your positions as our elected officials. Also, you can set an example for the rest of the country, as this is one of many municipalities in this situation.

Those that are elected, you are the government. 

The city staff is not the government.

You have the power and the authority. 

Unfortunately, you have been partnered through your contract, and those contracts must be renegotiated.

The mayor and council appoint the CAO and staff, and the mayor and council can fire them.

Again the CAO and city staff here are not local to this area, and they should be.

Before the Municipal Act of 2001, every mayor appointed their staff locally, and there are more than competent people living in Douro Dummer who can assist you in your job.

With that, you can work with a lawyer to verify the claims I'm making here tonight, and there may be some in the room tonight. We have been working as the residents of this area to figure out how to do this, but we want to do this with you and support you in making the right decisions. 

Come Along Side the Council

We want to have hope again. We are tired of our rights being taken away from us and eroded. Tired of local issues being neglected and our community suffering.

(Point to Crowd) It says that one call represents ten people, one letter represents 100 people, and one person represents 1000 people. I counted 65 when I walked in the room. That's 65,000 people represented here tonight. 

We are here because we want to help you step into your true authority as mayor and council; because it was taken from you, and when it's taken from you, you no longer can protect us, and it's getting to the point that we really need you guys to step up. 

Failing that, Human Rights Organizations have drafted Notices of Liability which are already being distributed to Mayors, Councilors, CAOs and City Staff nationwide. 

We don't want to have to serve you with Notices of Liability, but this is an act of treason, and it is serious. 

So tonight, here in Warsaw, which has a very significant, symbolic name to it, I ask that you please consider what I am saying and the people here to represent this and the people across this country. 

With that, I am happy to take any questions.
