Hi all, great live call again last night, but I only caught the last part of it.
Yesterday I attended a family gathering where I met Shawn Buckley a constitutional lawyer in Canada. He worked the national citizen inquiry on Covid response
I didn’t know he is my distant relative.
He told me he is now working to repeal or amend Bill C-47, Sections 500-504 which negatively affect access to natural health products in Canada and imposes a new licensing structure, fees, massive fines etc. on manufacturers and distributors of health products and supplements. Products which previously was regulated as food and many Canadians use and rely on to stay healthy.
Shawn and his wife Teresa created this site and organization. They are passionate about this matter.
I asked him whether he has looked at this from a higher jurisdiction perspective, international human rights, peremptory norms, non-derogable rights, jus cogens. He told me he hasn’t yet but would look into it now that I mention it. He gave me his email and phone number. I showed Teresa John’s Skool on my phone and promised to send an invite link.
I’m just asking here first if that is okay? I don’t know him well or if he is open to these truths.
Also could we as a group identify non derogable pre-emptory norms, jus cogens being violated by C-47, sections 500-504. If I can accurately point them out I know it will help them to see it. I recognize that they are fighting a losing battle because they are not approaching it from the higher jurisdiction perspective. They are trying to amend the bill and raise public awareness, raise funds and organize public petitions They are focused on citizens not the rights of human beings. Their efforts without the higher truths may not be enough to ward off harm to human beings through the new legislation.
My recognition is still developing but here is what I see
Violation of right to life - food is made less accessible to human beings
Could it also be a form of torture to limit what foods can be used as medicinal? I’m not sure on that one
Recognition as a person - citizens providing natural health products are subjected to license fees, fines and seizures
Freedom of thought and conscience - censorship about doses and benefits of products; does redefining an apple as a drug to be regulated and limited violate thought and conscience?
Thanks in advance for any comments about this.
