We the People, Have Some Questions, and So Should the Mayor and Council
Who Does the Council Represent?
Addressing the Corporation of the City of Kawartha Lakes
On September 12, 2023, I had the opportunity to address the Committee of the Whole in the City of Kawartha Lakes. The central issue? The public health report on climate change and the broader implications of global agendas being implemented at the local municipal level.
A Call for Transparency and Dialogue
It was an honor to stand before the Council and community members in a packed town hall and raise pressing concerns that many citizens share. The people of Kawartha Lakes—and Canadians across the country—deserve transparency, accountability, and leadership that prioritizes local needs over international directives.
We are witnessing the impact of public-private partnerships (PPP) influencing policies at all levels of government. These partnerships, originating from international agreements like Agenda 21, were introduced to Canadian municipalities through the 1992 United Nations framework. This restructuring of local governance has allowed unelected global organizations to exert influence over municipal decision-making.
The Focus on Climate Change vs. Local Health Crises
One of the key questions I posed was: How much public funding is being allocated to climate change initiatives compared to pressing local health crises?
There is a mental health crisis in our community, exacerbated by fear-driven narratives surrounding climate change.
Homelessness and housing affordability are escalating concerns, yet local reports seem to focus primarily on emissions targets.
A publicly funded drug epidemic is occurring, with little action from public health agencies to address Canada’s pharmaceutical dependency crisis.
Environmental factors such as 5G towers and chemical aerosol trails appear visibly and are potentially impacting our communities, yet public health remains silent on their potential health effects.
Despite these urgent concerns, climate change continues to dominate municipal agendas, drowning out discussions about issues that directly affect the well-being of our residents.
Who Does the Council Represent?
Another fundamental issue raised was the role of our elected officials.
Council members signed a declaration to serve the Corporation of the City of Kawartha Lakes which did not specify representing the people. This raises serious concerns:
Are our elected officials truly representing the people or a corporate entity?
Are global policies being implemented without the full understanding of their implications?
Have local representatives been misled into rubber-stamping international mandates that may conflict with Canada’s Constitution, Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Bill of Rights?
The people of Kawartha Lakes deserve answers.
Our Requests to Council
A Public Health Report on Local Issues – We demand a comprehensive report on mental health, homelessness, pharmaceutical drug dependency, and the environmental impacts of 5G and weather modification techniques, not just on climate change.
Reallocation of Public Funds – Taxpayer dollars must be prioritized for immediate community health needs rather than excessive climate-related expenditures.
Genuine Public Engagement – We have attempted to meet with council members, sent invitations, and held town hall discussions on rural zoning bylaws—yet our representatives failed to attend.
A Commitment to Open Dialogue – The people expect reciprocal, transparent discussions with their elected officials. Ignoring these concerns will not make them go away.
The Public-Private Partnership Problem
The increasing influence of public-private partnerships (PPP) blurs the lines between public governance and private interests. International organizations should not dictate policies that undermine local autonomy.
Regardless of Canada’s status as a UN member state, no government body—municipal, provincial, or federal—has the authority to implement foreign mandates that violate our national sovereignty, constitutional rights, or the coronation oath.
The Council’s Response
Following my deputation, a motion was passed to receive my concerns and bring them forward for consideration at the next regular council meeting. This is an important first step—but it cannot end there. Accountability is key.
Final Message: Stand With Us
We are good people, acting in good faith, seeking nothing more than an open and honest dialogue with our representatives.
🔹 We have done our research.
🔹 We are prepared to engage in discussion.

The question now is: Will the mayors and councillors stand with us?
