Hi from Sean Fraser's office, Climate Change and Electoral Reform.

DennisTate · Jun 27, 2016

Although I am a member of Canada's Conservative Party I truly am impressed
to have received this invitation to several Town Hall style meetings centred on
climate change and electoral reform.

For starters........ I would comment that I do agree with the Conservative Party's
official statement that I read a week or two ago that significant changes to
Canada's electoral system should
be made only after a nation wide public referendum to get the opinion of the
majority of Canadians on this issue.

That being said...... I have to admit that I am impressed that town hall style meetings
have been scheduled in Central - Nova to discuss both electoral reform as well as
how best to respond to climate change.

Hi there,

Sean asked that I send the following information along, as he recognizes that you have engaged with our office on policy issues. We wanted to ensure that you personally received an invite from us to our Town Halls on Climate Change and Electoral Reform. We will be hosting them in New Glasgow, Antigonish, and on the Eastern Shore. The Town Hall in Antigonish will have a live-stream option if you choose to watch and contribute from home.

Further, these topic specific Town Halls will be held in addition to 14 travelling clinics and town halls throughout the riding details available on our website, www.seanfrasermp.ca

We hope to gather feedback and consolidate it into reports for the respective ministers by the end of summer, and we would love your input. Please find the press release below and shareables attached:

FRASER HOSTING CONSULTATIONS ON ENVIRONMENT AND ELECTORAL REFORM

Sean Fraser, MP for Central Nova is hosting a series of community consultations, to seek feedback on the topics of Climate Change and Electoral Reform.

On behalf of the Minister of Environment, Catherine McKenna and the Minister of Democratic Institutions, Maryam Monsef, Fraser and his team are hosting consultations where feedback, questions, and concerns will be collected and consolidated into a report for each minister.
Both Minister McKenna and Minister Monsef are seeking input from Canadians and we want to support them in tackling these pan-Canadian issues, said Fraser. This is a chance to make sure Central Novas voice is heard and that rural Nova Scotia weighs in on topics that affect all Canadians.

On July 19th, Fraser will be co-hosting a consultation in Antigonish with St. Francis Xavier University, which will also be accessible by live-stream. The evening will be moderated by Mary Coyle, Executive Director for StFXs McKenna Centre for Leadership.

On July 26th, Fraser will be hosting a consultation at Memory Lane Heritage Village in Lake Charlotte, on the Eastern Shore, with MLA Kevin Murphy as moderator and at Summer Street Industries in New Glasgow on August 2nd, with Jaimie Smith, Marram Consulting, moderating.

At the consultations, the discussion on Electoral Reform will run from 6:30-7:30pm, followed by the conversation on Climate Change from 8:00-9:00pm. All are welcome to attend to discuss either topic, or join the conversation for both.

We are energized by the feedback we have heard from constituents who have been asking for these meetings, and we are excited that StFX has agreed to co-host the Antigonish event.
Our university is honoured to provide a platform for vibrant and meaningful community engagement and we value our partnership with the Federal Government, said Ms. Coyle. The themes of Climate Change and Electoral Reform are of great importance to our students, faculty and staff, as they are to others in our region. I am delighted to be moderating the community consultation evening we are co- hosting at StFX and want to encourage everyone to join us as we engage in these important policy and future shaping discussions.

Constituents are always welcomed and encouraged to reach out to us on these and any other topics, said Fraser.

Those unable to attend either of the scheduled sessions are encouraged to email the office at sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca, or call 1-844-641-5886. Details for the live broadcast option for the July 19th meeting will be shared on Frasers website www.seanfrasermp.ca once available.

These topic-specific community consultations are being held in addition to the series of 14 Town Hall Community meetings Fraser and his office are hosting across the riding this Summer. The full schedule for these meetings is available at www.seanfrasermp.ca."

Thank you, I look forward to seeing you and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Although I admit that much of what I wrote in my 2008 primary campaign writing about climate change was seriously flawed I
do stand by several statements that I wrote there:

www.BankingSystemsFlaws.blogspot.ca/

We can STOP GLOBAL WARMING and we can keep our school!
September 15, 2008

Dear residents of Indian Harbour Lake, Sonora and Wine Harbour: I am campaigning for the office of Municipal Councilor for St. Mary's District 4.

There are three primary threats to the quality of life for all of us who live here. High unemployment will probably force most of our young people to move far away to find jobs. Because of government cut backs St. Mary's Educational Centre may be closed as early as 2011. In the near future record high tides may devastate our roads and homes that are only a few feet above sea level. We are being told that there is little that you and I can do about any of these problems but this is simply not true.

Satellite pictures show rapid melting of Arctic ice but only about ten percent is above water level. Ice occupies more space than liquid water so until now we have experienced rather little ocean level rise. Our situation will be entirely different if and when melting occurs in the massive ice pack on Greenland and Antarctica that sit on land.

I am in agreement with environmentalist and economist Bjorn Lomborg that a carbon shift policy will probably be ineffective over the short term in combating global temperature increases or in preventing a destructive rise in world ocean levels.

"Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and expensive actions now being considered to stop global warming will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, are often based on emotional rather than strictly scientific assumptions, and may very well have little impact on the world's temperature for hundreds of years." (lomborg.com/coolit/)
Click to expand...

Two effective methods to combat global warming and simultaneously fight rising ocean levels have been proposed by New Mexico biologist Carl Cantrell.

"So how is our problem of continental drying causing global warming? It all has to do with vegetation and sunlight. When sun light hits a plant, it causes a process which we call photosynthesis where the energy from the sun light creates oxygen for us to breathe, water for us to drink, and is stored as sugar for plants and animals to use. When the same sun light hits the soil, all of its energy turns into heat and is radiated back into the atmosphere.. ."

"Therefore, the less vegetation you have on the planet, the more sunlight is being turned into heat and the warmer the planet becomes...."

"Just take a look at any satellite picture of the earth showing heat and you will see that our deserts are the warmest spots on the planet by far. More heat is being generated by just one of the top four or five deserts than by all of our cities combined.... "

"The truth is that you can do more to decrease global warming by just reducing the average temperature for the Sahara Desert by one or two degrees than if we humans completely quit using fossil fuels and returned to the cave."

"So, how would you start working to resolve this problem? Easy, cool the deserts and get some vegetation growing on them as soon as possible. But the method is much more complex than that. You have to use the prevailing trade winds in relation to the deserts to get the best results as quickly as possible and it will be extremely expensive."

"Then we build desalination plants along the coast near these water sheds and pipe water to the tops or ridges of the water sheds"

"We need to start working on this as soon as possible because, if the planet reaches a point to where it is warming faster than our technology can possibly stop or reverse this warming trend, then our planet is lost and all life will cease to exist on this planet within a relatively short period of time. We will need to start with the largest and hottest deserts because cooling them will have the greatest benefit in the least time (Global Warming II by biologist Carl Cantrell)."

Another promising method to green the deserts is to use hydrogen fuel cell technology to power vehicles in the hottest and driest regions of the earth. Imagine millions of vehicles across the Sahara, the Middle East, near the US Mojave desert and in the outback of Australia all spewing harmless water vapor as exhaust! Rest assured humidity and rainfall will increase in those areas and vegetation will grow.

Last week I wrote a lengthy e-mail to Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. "Ms. May, if you owned a large apartment building and your tenants complained that the rooms were too warm would you listen to the advice of the contractor who was telling you to rip all the insulation out of the walls of this structure?"

"I don't think that you would because your article indicates that you have a phenomenal intellect and listening to this probably self-interested contractor would be incredibly unwise!"

"Combating global warming by first getting rid of CO2 is comparable to tearing the insulation out of this hypothetical building. CO2 is not a pollutant. Plants love this compound and some people even seem to feel that the recent greening in some parts of the Sahara Desert is partly attributable to increased levels of CO2. I tend to strongly agree with them in this assertion."

"Several days ago Mr. Charles Moore informed me that Canada produces roughly only 2.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Our nation could invest billions of dollars into reducing our carbon footprint and yet all this would have essentially zero effect on the global environment if China and India did not take similar measures.... besides....CO2 IS NOT A POLLUTANT... PLANTS LIVE ON IT AND RISING WORLD OCEAN LEVELS ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY THE GREATEST MOST IMMEDIATE THREAT POSED BY GLOBAL WARMING TO EVERY COASTAL COMMUNITY!!!!!!!!! (E-mail, September 11, 200

Ms. May deserves credit for encouraging Canadian political leaders to take environmental issues more seriously but at this time I feel that she has far too much confidence in the proposals put forward at Kyoto. The skepticism that Prime Minister Harper had for this accord seems to have been based on sound reasoning. Liberal Leader Stephane Dion was wise to hope for more time to further study this complex subject before an election.

You would be astonished how many of our political leaders do not understand the tremendous benefits of historical Canadian monetary policy.

http://www.michaeljournal.org/appenB.htm

"Why was a much larger national debt shrugged off in 1945, while today's much smaller debt (as a percentage of GDP) is being used as an excuse to let the economy stagnate?"

"The answer can be found at the Bank of Canada. During the war, and for 30 years afterward, the government could borrow what it needed at low rates of interest, because the government's own bank produced up to half of all the new money. That forced the private banks to keep their interest rates low, too.

"Since the mid-1970s, however, the Bank of Canada, with government consent, has been creating less and less of the new money, while letting the private banks create more and more. Today «our» bank creates a mere 2% of each year's new money supply, while allowing the private banks to gouge the government and of course you and me, as well with outrageously high interest rates. And it is these extortionate interest charges that are the principal cause of the rapid escalation of the national debt. If the federal government were paying interest at the average levels that prevailed from the 1930s to the mid-1970s, it would now be running an operating surplus of about $13 billion!"

..... "Clearly the current problem of the Canadian government's deficit is not its absolute size, or its size relative to the GDP, but the insane way it is being financed. A return to the policies of the World War II era, when the Bank of Canada produced almost one-half of the new money at near-zero interest, would do wonders for the economy, while greatly shrinking the deficit... The first order of business for a post-Mulroney- era government must be to regain effective control of the Bank of Canada and make it the primary source of money creation.

"It is ludicrous for the government to put billions of dollars into circulation by borrowing from the private banks, when it can create the extra money it needs, virtually free. "(by Harold Chorney, John Hotson, and Mario Seccareccia) .

We can encourage our federal and provincial level officials to re-enact wise monetary policy such as Prime Minister Mackenzie King did in 1940 by organizing a local film production cooperatives or company. Due to our proximity to the ocean we should all be highly motivated to produce films and effectively use the media to educate individuals and politicians all across Canada through YouTube.com. Time is limited if we hope to stimulate our economy, save our elementary school and prevent the loss of our roads and homes to the threat of rising ocean levels.

We have been told that we are almost helpless before these massive problems but what did the author of Genesis say about human capability for either evil or good if we unite on a common goal:

"And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11)

Can we visualize extensively using hydrogen fuel cell cars in California, Nevada, New Mexico, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Australia and Kuwait?
"And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water." (Isaiah 35)

Please also take a look at my campaign writings from 2004 and 2006:
www.bankingsystemflaws.blogspot.com/

If you elect me as your Municipal Councillor on October 18 I will try my best to promote effective solutions to our greatest problems to all who will listen.

Thank you for your considering of this information and for your support.

Kind regards.

Central - Nova Member of Parliament, Mr. Sean Fraser:

Honorable Mr. Minister Fraser:

I have been making public statements on climate change since 2007
and I recently began to question if my concerns could perhaps be
terribly exaggerated?

http://www.politicalforum.com/science/463012-geology-physics-high-tides-question.html

Geology, physics, high tides question.

DennisTate said: ↑

I have began to wonder if I am missing some
important factor that would cause my line of
reasoning to be in error regarding a theory I
have put out there on just how much of an increase
in high tides might occur along parts of the Bay of Fundy
where we already experience the world's highest tides.

I live in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. The
difference between low tide to high tide on a normal
day is one to one and a half meters.... along fifty kms of
coastline here.

There are places along the Bay of Fundy where the difference
from low tide to high tide.... .can be fifty feet or more.

This occurs notably near Truro, N. S. and Moncton, New Brunswick.

The landform of the Bay of Fundy has a funneling effect on
the tidal waters as they come in............ and so the multiplier
effect on the tides there is FIFTEEN TIMES.... or even more in
some areas.

What if...... a massive cracking and sliding of ice were to occur
on the land based Greenland Ice Pack and/or the West Antarctic
Ice Sheet..... and lets speculate that average world oceans rose by
merely one foot, (30 cms).

IF... .that 15X multiplier effect carried through...... then.......
perhaps in a few places along the Bay of Fundy.... high tides might
be up by 30 cms x 15 = 450 cms or 4.5 meters.

In my part of Nova Scotia the high tide mark might not be up by much more
than the thirty centimeteres...... due to the fact that the land form where I live
DOES NOT have a 15 X multiplier effect on tidal waters.

Am I being alarmist and really missing some important factor that
makes my theory terribly in error?
Click to expand...

Mr. Fraser..... I just got back a truly brilliant answer that demonstrates both a full understanding of
the complexity of the question........ and the answer!

Taxonomy26 said: ↑

Very Complex.
Sea level does not rise evenly. It could average 1 foot, and not rise at all where you are, or it could rise 2 ft.. for openers. It's all about local currents and gravitational strong/wweak spots,

ie
http://e360.yale.edu/feature/the_secret_of_sea_level_rise_it_will_vary_greatly_by_region/2255/
....

....
or see
http://www.ucsusa.org/publications/ask/2013/sea-level-rise.html#.V3QqMfkrLX5

Then there is the question of the tidal multplier. Does it stay 15?
You gotta do some homework reading on that
ie
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=tidal multiplier
Or better yet. more specific Googling

'bay of fundy if seal level rose'
https://www.google.com/webhp?source...v=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bay+of+fundy+if+sea+level+rose
leading to, ie

Climate Change, Mean Sea Level and High Tides in the Bay of Fundy
http://www.novascotia.ca/nse/climate-change/docs/cc_msl_hightides_bof.pdf

ABSTRACT: Global warming is predicted to result in a rise in sea level which will lead to increased flood risk. Two other factors that will affect high water are the existing trends in mean sea level and changing tides. We illustrate here that in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine these two are related. An analysis of long-term sea level records shows that, independent of global warming related to climate change, sea level and tidal range have been increasing in thissystem. Our numerical model investigation indicates that recent changes in sea level, attributed in part to post-glacial
rebound, are giving rise to increasing tides. The combined effects of modern sea level rise, global warming inducedsea level rise, and the expanded tidal range they induce, will produce a significant increase in the high water level, much Greater than that found when considering modern climate-induced sea level changes in isolation. We are predicting a dramatic increase in the risk of flooding at higher high water during the twenty-first century.

So basically this was a lesson in Googling, Not science.
Learn how to LOOK it up! (Dammit)
It's so easy these days.
There's not a chance in hell any poster knew this off the top of his head.
Google is your friend IF you care and have the IQ.

I would have to agree that a carbon tax or cap and trade system would
have been a terrible waste of time and money for many reasons.

One of them being that lawyers with a background in the environmental sciences.....
along with bureaucrats would have hijacked the legislation and made it nothing more than
another money making scheme.

The Carl Cantrell alternative theory on climate stabilization on the other hand does fit
very well with Isaiah chapter 35 and seems to be a win - win - win - win measure for pretty
much all of us....... with the possible exception of war lords and arms dealers?!

Isaiah 35:1

¶
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

Isa 35:6

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

Although I am a member of Canada's Conservative Party I hold our local Member of Parliament Mr. Sean Fraser in high regard.

I am issuing him a friendly challenge for him to pass on to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because
I personally am very worried that we Canadians might NOT fully rise to the occasion to assist
President Donald J. Trump and his administration and all Americans with what I perceive as a
significant threat to the national security of the United States........
and potentially Canada.

Yesterday I was wondering if AboveAlpha was anywhere nearly as worried about the planned devaluation of the USA dollar as I was.... .so I did a search in politicalforum for "AboveAlpha, trillion" and it seems like I was the only person who he had given that number to. Interestingly he had done so in a private message.......... and I do not lightly quote one of AboveAlpha's private messages publicly but.......... I personally am worried for the lives of hundreds if not thousands of Americans who could suffer or even die if a large scale devaluation were to result in civil unrest so................

.......As I live...... I will try my very best to thwart Soros and Buffet in this plan to devalue the USA dollar..........

Being free to post information to public discussion forums may not seem like a lot of power but....... it can be surprising how many hits discussions get as soon as AboveAlpha is quoted....... or even referred to........

That message where AboveAlpha mentions 4.3 trillion is quoted in full on this page:

But the interest in this subject in a way sets us Canadians up to play an important role in seemingly pressuring
large companies to release certain technology so that they can become immune to patent violation lawsuits by
oil companies...... who technically.... may own the patents on products that they may soon release.........

I am hoping that the pressure to release this tech comes all the way from the White House.... and we Canadians can make it look like it is our fault.... that
the Trump administration puts pressure on the big auto manufacturers to release this.

The Oil Companies are RUTHLESS.

In a city in the Western Part of Massachusetts two men in 1978 developed a CARBORATOR in a Chevy Nova that gave the car 88 MILES PER GALLON!!!

This was in the Springfield Massachusetts Newspapers which is the city where the Basketball Hall of Fame is located.

Oil Company executives bought them out and it was never heard about again.

I could be wrong but there are two "urban legends" here in Atlantic Canada that I believe
was really brilliant long term marketing strategy.

A good friend of mine R...... B..... told me about a man that he knew of, who lived not far from
where he grew up, who purchased a Ford LDT during the 1970's. After driving and driving and driving the man saw that his gas gauge wasn't moving much so he took his car back in to be looked at........ and once the service people opened the hood, they took his vehicle......... and replaced it with another LTD that immediately got the terrible mileage that he expected.

In Moncton, a similar Ford product fell into the hands of a man with a lot more sense who
opened the hood himself ..... .immediately knew what he had........ absolutely refused to sell his Ford back to the company until they gave him five or six million dollars.

My theory is that these cases were not accidents..... but were planned .... to get Canadians working on a movement to force big companies to release high mileage technology. All that has to happen is for the President of the USA to decree that Ford cannot be sued by the Big Oil companies who may well have the patents and voila..........
the market could be flooded with Ford F150's that are getting over seventy miles per gallon.......
which is exactly what a significant number of ethical people both in government.... as well as at Ford.... want to see happen.........
but it has to be timed well.
