We better take an active interest in globalist policy because globalists are taking a very active interest in us – and council has accepted their money.

Climate bureaucracy gives “grants” that include control levers for worming their way inside the legal charters of communities like ours. Democracy and transparency end up being sidelines—without the awareness of CAOs, CFOs, Mayors and Councillors and definitely without taxpayers’ knowledge.

In 2023, Lillooet received an LGCAP (Local Government Climate Action Program) grant of $52,078 which has to be used for an approved climate category like CO2, GHG (greenhouse gas emissions), EVs, Net Zero. The former Chief Financial Officer held back the money but this year it’s been applied to an HVAC upgrade at City Hall. The upgrade reduces a tiny fraction of Canada’s tiny fraction of greenhouse gas emissions.

That “free money” required us to fill out and return a 19-page (!) climate action report comprised of detailed questions designed to micro-manage absolutely everything: new housing, roads, development, town assets, energy, transportation. Then CFO filled out the survey, avoiding much of the intrusive demand for information and action by stating that Lillooet did not have the financial capacity, or the expertise, to fulfill the request. Nevertheless, the report makes clear that the climate scam push is fully under way. “Free money” gives away our authority to make our own decisions and protect our fiscal solvency. Council must wake up to this long-term predatory scheme and opt out.

KICLEI (Kicking the International out  of Local Initiatives) helps town councils avoid these fiscal sinkholes: “What we’re seeing across Canada is a form of governance by proxy – where unelected global networks embed themselves into local government through programs like PCP (United Nations Partners for Climate Protection)m shaping policy through standardized plans and staff training. This isn’t violent—but it’s coordinated, ideological, and largely hidden from public scrutiny.”

“ICLEI and FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities) have created a system where one staff member and one councillor become the internal champions of a pre-scripted agenda. This mimics the structure of institutional capture—where outside influence steers local decisions through embedded advocates.” This is what it looks like:

“BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the municipality of Lillooet appoint…

  a) a corporate staff person and

  b) an elected official

to oversee implementation of the PCP milestones and be the points of contact for the PCP program within the municipality.

We’ve got two corporate staff persons — Deputy Corporate Office and CAO McCulloch who appointed himself (* see note below) Corporate Officer on July 15^th. We taxpayers need to start paying attention; our apathy will allow the globalists to override democracy. Those who understand these threats and are quietly considering getting involved in local politics need to get elected asap!

*Post addition/correction: CAO McCulloch asked the Gazette to clarify that he did not “appoint himself” but rather he was appointed and he took an oath; it’s a legal requirement to have a Corporate Officer and the CFO leaving left that position empty. LG apologizes for the mistake.

If anybody would like to watch that in the council meeting, see it at the July 15th meeting at the 11 minute mark.
