On May 6th Council awarded the contract. Once the walls of the historic building are opened the unknowns will be revealed—such as asbestos and structural issues–and costs could soar to $750K or more. It happens in every renovation. A huge amount of money is being put into this, a few questions could be asked:
Are there plans afoot for the Miyazaki House to generate ongoing, monthly revenue?
Can we add more public usefulness? The art shows and cultural events have social value but are few and far between, as are rentals for events. Tours are seldom and they aren’t monetized, the website meekly asks for a “suggested donation of $25”.
Would some community engagement or even a town hall help to generate some ideas? An email to the MH Society with some questions got no reply. Calling and leaving a message got no response. Wouldn’t it reflect well on an evolving town if more dialogue happened, such as town halls?
Is it time to bring in new energy to the Society, to restructure the Society?
We’re in dire need of health supports, how about renting rooms to professionals doing massage, foot care, or______?
Boutique historical salon serving tea & scones?
How about a few parking spaces? How about we buy the empty lot between the municipal building and the post office?
According to Canadian charity law, a society can:
operate a gift shop, paid parking service, or a restaurant or café on the site
sell products bearing a logo
rent/lease space in the building or parking lot
activities directly related to the charity can be used to generate funds
If the Society doesn’t monetize and turn this glorious building into a living, breathing space used daily by the community, then it sits there, looking pretty and overlooked, and the current spate of drug dealers who conduct their illegal trade from the porch get an even nicer porch?
I bet the good Dr. Miyazaki would smile down from heaven if he saw the old house being used for healthcare.
Meet Maggie Hope Braun, the woman who’s transforming one local council at a time by exposing the global climate agenda infiltrating our Canadian towns and sucking millions of dollars out of fiscal budgets.
KICLEI stands for “Kicking the International Council Out of Environmental Initiatives”
Here’s a brief sample of what Kiclei offers, which they provide for free and by donation:
📌 Why are local governments quietly adopting global programs?
📌 What’s the hidden cost of “net-zero” at the municipal level?
📌 How can YOU get involved—and win?
Education. When councils are asked to spend millions on initiatives that reduce, say, 400 tonnes of CO2 annually, the public deserves context.
Here’s what 400 tonnes of CO₂ represents:
– 0.000069% of Canada’s annual emission
– 0.0000011% of global human emissions
– 0.000000019% of total CO₂ in Earth’s atmosphere
In other words: a drop in a vast atmospheric ocean.
Advocacy. We provide the tools, reports, and strategy to help you organize effectively and guide your municipality toward locally-driven solutions—without ICLEI, FCM pressure, or global policy frameworks. Lots of resources at kiclei.ca

Everything we need to know in this lengthy interview. This courageous doctor from Lytton has been at the forefront of the fight against those who would decimate world population, collapse our economies and usher in the era of tyranny.
If you balk at this, it’s your duty to so some research so you can know for sure if what you believe is what the media told you to believe and if you’ve been lied to — we must do research for the future of the children and the grandchildren. Start here, start now. The truth shall prevail.
“The problem is that people are still too trusting.” ~ Dr. Hoffe

Maybe it’s time to start a brand new health care system. Using the word “health” has become deeply ironic within the current degraded state of the pharma industrial complex. Pushing ineffective, harmful products on BABIES is species-level insanity. We must insist on a better way forward.
Agenda 21 refers to the agenda for the entire 21st century. The vast majority of us have never heard about Agenda 21 because the lapdog media never reports and the billionaires at the top of the new feudalism pyramid — and all their sycophants — believe that democracy and freedom are relics. According to these un-elected sociopaths drunk on wealth and power, they can push us into a modern version of serfdom. And one woman’s personal experiences revealed how they are making it happen.
Rosa Koire, from California, discovered how the Agenda 21 swindle works but it took her a long time. She and her partner kept coming up against one local group after another who had political, financial and ideological ties to the murky world of globalists and the climate cartel — proving that when we hear the terms ‘Sustainable Development’ or ‘globalist’ they aren’t some far off concepts, they are infiltrating our lives and our local governance. Despite many efforts over many years, Koire and her partner failed to save their San Francisco neighbourhood from complex real estate scams.
Koire dedicated herself to informing as many people as she could. Before her untimely death, she was an excellent public speaker and toured across America to raise awareness. She created a website and blog called Democrats Against UN Agenda 21 which is an excellent resource for research and learning.
The following are her words from Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21 which is available at Amazon or through Lillooet’s inter-library loan.
Shortly after I started researching about UN Agenda 21 I began to wonder if we were the only liberals who were aware of it and were taking it seriously. How could that be? Democrats own property. Liberals don’t want to live in a corporatocracy. Free people don’t accept totalitarian rule. Civil rights are a vital element of our freedom—why were people saying that the UN Agenda was a right wing fantasy? What was this polarization all about? Was it to keep us from looking behind the Green Mask? We definitely knew we were on to something because of the tremendous amount of effort that was put into trying to discredit and attack us.
I thought of calling the website Villagers with Pitchforks but someone already had it. Politically, I realized the importance of broadening the spectrum of awareness. Being Democrats Against UN Agenda 21 was disappointingly unusual, but I hoped that it was a foreshadowing of the future movement against totalitarian control that will hopefully soon come from the left. The realization that the environmental movement has been hijacked should shake up and wake up liberals to get on board against Agenda 21. This is a non-partisan grassroots movement. Whether you drink tea or coffee doesn’t matter—just say off the Kool-Aid.
Mega corporations have hijacked the environmental movement. There’s a rapidly accelerating absorption of democratically elected governments into the mega-corporations.
Every totalitarian state is based on these five elements:
1) Total information on inhabitants and resources.
2) Total control of movement, speech, labour unions, universities, churches, production, and markets.
3) Terror.
4) Vision of a glorious future.
5) Spartan control of the present, scarcity.
Up until recently government officials would pretend UN Agenda 21 was a fantasy or conspiracy theory. Now it’s out of the closet.
Being green is using energy efficient ways to conserve and using intelligent means to preserve our lives on earth. You don’t have to lose your free speech rights and give up living with a personal vehicle, a private home, modern conveniences and good food to be environmentally conscious.
If you’ve been identifying yourself as progressive ask yourself what that means. Ask yourself what it means. Think about it. A year ago I decided to do some research on progressives. After all, I’d been referring to myself as a progressive and I realized I had no idea what it meant. I was just being cool. Who doesn’t want to be progressive?
Picking winners and losers is the official blood sport of the Agenda for the 21st century.
Keeping you quiet, sedated, passive, compliant, consuming, exhausted, distracted, frightened, ignorant and confused is the order of the day. The New Globalist Order.
Imagine the end result of Sustainable Development. In your mind, move into a condo. Get rid of your car and ride your bicycle. Take your time thinking about this. Stop eating food not produced locally (within 25 miles). Limit your water usage t 10 gallons per day. Pay a carbon tax for any trip you take. Wash you clothes and bedding by hand and hang them to dry (try this for a month). Answer your Asset Based Community Development questionnaire. Perform your hours of “mandatory volunteer work”. Report any violations of the Smart Growth Residents code.
That’s right, to the tune of $1.4 billion — for a real estate deal gone bad that Jared Kushner made with Qatar while he was acting as special emissary to the Middle East during Trump’s first term. Brookfield, then in Carney’s control as head of the board, saved Trump’s ass by leasing one floor of 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City for the astounding sum of $1.4 billion. (Isn’t that a dirty financial trick used by money launderers?)
By now, astute readers will have clued in to the fact that Carney and Trump are the same poison. That’s why they bail each other out. And they both use the lapdog media — and social media, too! — to manipulate and mislead.
CANADIANS WERE PLAYED LIKE CHEAP TOYS DURING THE ELECTION, REGARDLESS OF THEIR TRIBAL AFFILIATION. EMBARRASSING THAT WE SUCCUMBED WITH HYSTERIA AND ELBOWS UP, EVEN MIDDLE FINGERS UP. WE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE MANIPULATION.
Those familiar with the CBC’s long-running Fifth Estate would remember Trish Wood who spent almost ten years doing investigative reporting for the show. She’s now a popular podcaster thanks to her high quality journalism and signature deep, mellifluous voice you can listen to all day. And she’s been training her laser focus on the perplexing Trump/Carney bromance.
“If you’re like me you are scratching your head trying to decode exactly what is Donald Trump’s play with Mark Carney? None of it makes any sense. We’ve gone from Carney’ reckless we’re done with America speech to a digital snog between the two men evoking an 80’s romcom, just 24 hours later.”

Some of us grew up in homes where grownups faithfully watched the evening news, read the daily city newspaper, and never thought to doubt how much was true. My dear mum spoke admiringly of “Peter” (Mansbridge, a former CBC news anchor) on a first-name basis; he was her trusted source for all things political. We later scoffed at those who would believe the ‘crazy talk’ on sources like U.S. Fox News. We felt informed about news events. Occasionally we’d come across people with ‘out there’ ideas, and an offhand dismissal seemed reasonable.
Little did we know.
Onward we venture into 2025 amid news from almost-endless sources worldwide. Strangely, free speech doesn’t feel very free anymore and we are too-often careful, even fearful, about voicing independent thoughts. Paradoxically it’s both easier and harder to find information AND to discern what appears to be true. With humility and courage we might question: What seems to be true? Who benefits from this message? Who funded this source? What kind of evidence is offered to support these ideas? Is it biased opinion, or an attempt to present more than one side for balance? What perspectives are being withheld, disparaged or dismissed, and why?
Media influence on our lives is HUGE; we can think we hold independent beliefs without realizing how some have been carefully fed to us over time. Simple slogans repeated strategically is a proven psychological manipulation technique. Accompanied by fear, even more powerful. Our attention is drawn to the ‘latest thing’; meanwhile far-reaching events occur behind the scenes and few notice.
The media was long considered an important check against those who might abuse power. Yet today reporters, announcers, editors and more from conventional media now cooperate with, and are generously funded by, governments and big corporations. Particularly Big Pharma. So a new term was coined: “censorship industrial complex”.
Rodney Palmer (now at Talk Nation Radio) is one of several whistleblowing journalists who testified at the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI). Referring to CBC misrepresentation of the Ottawa Freedom Convoy, he stated, “They took an exceptional moment to decide they would not be journalists, that instead they would be public health messengers … and the result is that Canada’s national broadcaster has morphed into a state broadcaster. And I worked in countries where there were state broadcasters – China, Syria, Malawi, North Korea – it’s promoting government policy without question, while censoring, belittling and shaming learned Canadians who dare to object and inform us of the truth. Bad journalism is incompetence but propaganda is a betrayal. And that’s what CBC has done, it betrayed us all.”
Strong words. It’s worth questioning why we see no mention of the NCI on TV news, in the Sun or Province, or even in the BRLN. It was only an unprecedented citizen-funded, volunteer-organized inquiry with hundreds of witnesses exposing harmful and ongoing impacts of the Canadian Covid 19 response. Significant and relevant are understatements. And the MSM silence is deafening.
It’s now being introduced to our remote mountain town by the federal government.
Soon, there will be no more simply dialing three numbers on your keypad, NG911 is going to be next-level complicated. CAO Joe McCulloch appears to be gung ho. He reports in his published itinerary that on April 8th he updated the NG911 grant application. It was the only item on his itinerary for that day. Did he take the time to read the fine print? Let’s hope so.
When I researched and tried reading the fine print and it was an exhaustive labyrinth of complex jargon. Trying to find normal-speak information was impossible—because the documents aren’t supposed to be readily understandable?
Issues regular folk like me would be curious to know were absent—Who will pay for this? What are the company names? How will it work? What will be required of us to participate? How will my private information be protected? Who will see my private information?…etc.
NG911 has to bribe takers with up to $100K grant in order to get it. Since when do you get anything for free? So I emailed Joe, our accessible CAO who sees the public for two hours on the first Thursday of every month.
April 14, 2025
Hello Joe
Have you seen the contract yet for this plan to adopt NG911 in return for [grant] money upwards of $100K?
Anyone administering the town’s future commitments to something as sweeping as the NG911 needs to read the fine print of the contract and be prepared to explain it. There should be discussion and pubic consultation before any commitment.
On the surface, an upgraded 911 system appears to be a benefit that nobody could argue with, but the devil is in the details.
Data overreach is common these days and we would not want to find out that our privacy was given away when we should have been protected from privacy intrusion and data theft.
What is involved in “real time texting” for example? And very important, what exactly is meant by “other data transfers”?
Thank you,
Troy Anderson
NO REPLY. It being the only item on his itinerary for that day (page 120) perhaps that means he spent some time examining the concept documents instead of simply being a Yes man, we’ll take the free money, man.
Here’s what a couple of hours of my digging revealed.
NG911 purports to be the best thing since sliced bread for police, fire fighter groups and first responders. Can’t argue with that.
Scant benefits to the public are without discussion or elaboration: we, the millions, “could stream video from an emergency incident, send photos of accident damage or a fleeing suspect, or send personal medical information, which could greatly aid emergency responders.”
Ooh, spot the benefit, we’d be able to send personal medical information. That must have the fintech entrepreneurs salivating.
BUT, it appears that RTT may not be supported by the carriers who provide cell service to this remote location. Not much help to us then?
My initial research has me suspecting that NG911 is part of the ever-tightening noose that will restrict our freedom from pervasive, invasive surveillance. Every single person will have to have the app on their cell phone, which means our data, our contacts, our texts, and who knows what else, will be hoovered out on a regular basis.
Does everyone know that data is being called the new oil? WE ARE THE DATA they want to exploit, monetize and scrutinize. Data is worth trillions, and it’s a huge topic.
If the repercussions of data harvesting aren’t disturbing, how about this? Getting in on the ground floor of NG911 is a group called the Coalition of the Willing (CW). Most of us have heard this phrase in connection with modern warfare. Among the Coalition of the Willing is the mysterious Windermere Group, located in the Bahamas, notorious home of offshore tax havens where the world’s greedy sociopaths hide their ill gotten gains. Why would they be part of the NG911?
From what I could find, the CRTC commission on NG911 identified “privacy issues” as a concern only once. And it was the last item under the heading of “List of Concerns” with zero discussion and zero mention anywhere else in the documents I read. Translation: our privacy is a very low priority, and/or they assume nobody is paying attention, and/or nobody will ever understand what they’re up to.
Which is probably just how they want it. “NG9-1-1 networks should be accessible to all types of entities, to the maximum extent possible, provided that they abide by the conditions established to govern access.” Govern access means the terrain is wide open for monetization, business opportunity, intrusive biometrics, constant surveillance, and who knows what else.
Last but not least about updating 911 technology: “These updates will not affect current access to 9-1-1. If you need emergency help, you will still be able to dial 9-1-1 as you do today.”
Municipal decision-makers must recognize the financial implications of “free” programs that later require substantial investment. Here’s how councillors can protect their communities from falling into these marketing traps:
Demand a Full Cost Breakdown Upfront: If a program is “free,” councillors should ask what long-term costs are involved and insist on seeing cost analyses before agreeing to participation. How much have these projects cost municipalities over the last 30 years?
Be Skeptical of Programs That Require Data Collection: If an initiative asks for extensive data before revealing costs, it is likely a long-term commitment disguised as a trial.
Consider the Exit Strategy Before Signing On: Councillors should assess how easy it will be to withdraw if the costs become unmanageable and develop an opt-out plan.
Prioritize Local Adaptation Over Global Mitigation: Instead of investing in top-down, international net zero frameworks, municipalities should focus on local climate adaptation strategies that bring direct benefits to their communities—such as flood prevention, infrastructure resilience, and regenerative agriculture.
Four troubling forces are bearing down on us. Each force conflicts with the others and this period of destabilization will intensify and bring a heap of suffering and chaos. Read on, fasten your seat belt, keep your mind open and learn — forewarned is forearmed, as they say.
FIRST FORCE
The first force are the top tiers of Central Bankers and Big Bankers; Mark Carney belongs to both groups. They want a unified global currency to take over.
Their goal is to realize the One World Bank and central bank digital currency (CBDC).
CBDC means the end of human freedom. They tell us their motivations are for the betterment of humanity, that tired old saw. They haven’t been able to fix anything thus far, and the world is a stinking mess and getting worse by the week, but suddenly this new thing will bring in progress?
Every single aspect of life would be under the thumb of centralized control. Our first clue are Carney’s words “rigid controls” and “personal freedoms” used in the same sentence — classic communist double-speak.
The common name for centralized control is Social Credit Scoring which is basically tyranny.Your every move is tracked and your score changes daily. If your score falls below an arbitrary number, you are shut out. See Songpinganq on X for in-depth understanding of what real life is like in communist China.
Carney’s “severely constrained choice” means exactly that.
The only way they can achieve this is if we agree to it. They want to cancel the use of cash for any and all transactions. No more of the casual things we enjoy and take for granted, like garage sales, tooth fairy money under the pillow, tipping a favourite server, etc. So use cash and don’t give up your right to use it!
Globalists believe they will get control because so many people are already using cell phones.Just because we use cell phones doesn’t mean we give away our rights to privacy or a life that’s free of big brother watching over our shoulder 24/7/365.
CBDC is not possible if we refuse to accept a personal digital ID.
Here’s the pyramid again to refresh your memory. The second force relates to a bloated class of billionaires within the Corporate Elite tier of the pyramid. Carney is also enmeshed with this group.
The Corporate Elite tier has been gradually gaining more concentrated wealth and power. 99% of it actually.
At least 500 new billionaires were made during Covid so the Corporate Elite tier has become bloated and top heavy. They’re younger, very power-hungry, and collectively delirious about technology. Many fancy themselves as dominant in all things cyber, biotech and the race for Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Some of these new billionaires are so ambitious they want to get to the very top of the pyramid — their version of upward social mobility. They’re gaming for the thrones currently held by the likes of the Bilderberg group. What social upheaval will happen when all these power plays start rolling out?
Most of us know little-to-nothing about this rarefied little club but they do exist. They don’t appear on the pyramid and they aren’t talked about in the corporate media, but they pull many of the strings which make history. Old, old, old invisible money.
All these tiers are Mark Carney’s peer network, the people with whom–and for whom– he’s been working his entire career. The image he presents to Canadians is only so that we give him the power he needs to carry out Agenda 21. If given the chance he will intensify the Trudeau legacy of ruining our lives and hurting the country.
THIRD FORCE
Trump’s tariff war is the third force. Trump and his advisors realize that many in the top tiers are gunning to see the end of the U.S. dollar as the world’s dominant currency. Re-aligning the balance of trade is pushing back against that trend.
They’ve been trying to weaken America as well as the U.S. dollar. Mark Carney is among those calling for the end of the U.S. dollar, which would also mean the end of the Canadian dollar.
FOURTH FORCE
The fourth force pertains to BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) which is actually comprised of many nations represented in red on this map.
Carney cares not for Canada. He is playing his part in an attempted globalist coup. It would be a tragic mistake to see him as wanting to guide us safely through this minefield. Name one historic upheaval which didn’t bring tremendous violence and tragedy for the people.
What we need is to conserve our way of life, to protect it and elect a government that wants to keep Canada solid and on course. We need a prime minister who will build on our existing strengths so that we can safely weather what’s coming. We must not be sacrificed to the ludicrous ambitions of ultra-wealthy power-hungry men who want to be the new kings of Corporate Feudalism.
I’m a recovering CBC addict who listened to Radio One and watched CBC news for decades until it became crystal clear during COVID how compromised the so-called “nation’s broadcaster” had become—
–and how numb and dumb I had become for listening to it.
By 2021, I migrated over to Twitter (now X) and quickly realized that high quality citizen journalism was flourishing. Some phenomenal citizen journalists are working online, posting their research with panache and honesty. They dig, then provide receipts and links; they include the history and context of the topic so you understand the big picture. Often their work shocked me into questioning what I know. I started to become curious again.
Citizen journos like Andy Lee and Holly Doan have bigger audience share than the CBC –because they fill in missing information, expose lies and corruption—every single day. And they expose the old media for lying by omission.
So I cancelled cable and quit watching TV and felt such a weight lift off my shoulders it was like I’d finally left an abusive partner. I had believed the CBC’s shoddy reporting for years and it made me bewildered how I’d allowed it for so long.
People who get all their information and lousy reporting from old media sources, like I used to do, are shockingly brainwashed and unable to ask questions or think critically. Without doing even one minute of my own research, I used to believe that Tucker Carlson was a right wing extremist, that Fox News was evil, that Stephen Harper was a monster, that Jordan Peterson is a woman hater. The list goes on.
Since most people are now seeking information from independent sources, old media — TV, magazines and newspapers — are hanging on for dear life. They peddle propaganda, Liberal bias, and ideological brainwashing in order to keep advertising dollars and lavish government subsidies coming in. When I tune in to the CBC now, their tired little coven of forever-pundits remind me of the Addams Family.
In stark contrast, during COVID, citizen journalists gathered the scientific data that revealed that the mRNA “vaccine” is a failed product that didn’t prevent anything but did cause disease, injury and sudden deaths, even in the young and healthy.
Frustration over the total blackout of crucial information is why indie journalism is essential and why some people take their protest right to the source — which the CBC also doesn’t report, of course.
My red line: I can’t trust anybody, journalist or otherwise, who would lie so profoundly to me. Blind and loyal no more, I want to see the CBC News defunded, de-platformed, and preferably sent to the dustbin of history–along with the Liberal party swamp that adores China and is so far down the communist hole they cannot protect this country.
The CBC can peddle its wares in the information marketplace and either sink or swim. The small minority who still want to fund it can pay for it in their cable package. My taxes must not go toward low quality information that actively manipulates, misinforms and misleads. I’ll take high quality indie journalism over corporate swill any day of the week.
Most of us are busy teaching ourselves to be smart consumers of information. The Information Age is racing forward, as are techniques of information warfare. We either rise to the challenge by learning from excellent citizen activists like Sam Cooper who are working on our behalf or we sit passively before the idiot box and accept our ignorance and servitude.
