00:08:12.420I set some objectives for myself this year with Kickley,
00:08:16.520and doing a nationwide tour is first on the list.
00:08:21.960We've had a whole bunch of little victories last year, and I would like to see that duplicated across the country.
00:08:32.100And I think the best way to do that is to touch down in every province, connect with everyone who's interested in this stuff, do as many town halls as possible.
00:08:41.400and I've been working on provincial reports and as I'm in each province really specializing that
00:08:50.700report and learning more about what's actually happening with their communities and with how
00:08:56.620the international organizations are interacting with the province as well as the municipalities
00:09:01.160and just want to leave each province with a lot of good information that they can give to their
00:09:08.680local councillors and a campaign and all the tools that they need to push this forward especially as
00:09:16.720the fall of 2025 approaches we will be ready to go across the Canada to across Canada to really
00:09:23.640push back on on ICLEI on the FCM and address the climate action plans that are taking place across
00:09:32.700the country and all these official plans that are tied to net zero so now when you say you're
00:09:38.580talking about the federation of canadian municipalities maggie have you been seeing
00:09:42.120a lot more of these plans popping up lately or is it just that people are now noticing them
00:09:47.940oh it's just that we're noticing them i i discovered this in 2009 when i was living
00:09:56.000out in British Columbia in Terrace, BC. The first time I, you know, I moved there and I had time to
00:10:04.520look at the paper and see what was going on in the community. And they were doing an official plan
00:10:09.280and opening it for public consultation. And I clicked on it 300 pages long as usual. And all
00:10:16.360I could see was the United Nations objectives throughout it. So it's been going on for quite
00:10:21.360some time. All of these sustainable development goals. And, you know, here in Manitoba, we've
00:10:26.000been besieged by them. Like they've literally been coming out almost daily. And I get a message
00:10:30.460every single day. The other day they had a meeting in a city called Steinbeck, which is about a half
00:10:36.580an hour, maybe 45 minutes southeast of the city of Winnipeg, where they were rolling out this new
00:10:40.900plan. So we had some spies go down to that meeting and see if there were any UN objectives that were
00:10:46.960listed in this plan? And they said, no, no, it seemed fine. I said, you guys know what to look
00:10:51.220for? And that's when it, well, what do you mean what to look for? And I went, oh, I see. So what
00:10:57.820should people, because it's one thing to find a plan, Maggie. And when I say this to people on
00:11:03.340the show, I say, if you want to know if your municipality is part of the Federation of Canadian
00:11:09.560Municipalities, which is part of ICLEI, all you need to do is type the name of your municipality,
00:11:15.140city or town into a google search and then plan 2030 or 2050 and something is going to come up
00:11:21.820probably in the first two uh returns right but then when you click on the plan it's like how
00:11:28.040how do i how do i see if this is one of those un plans or if it's just a regular old local plan
00:11:35.480that these politicians have cooked up yeah what i look for are we're starting to find the same
00:11:43.340pattern and objectives. So what I look for is anything related to net zero by 2050 or reduction
00:11:51.860targets, anything to do with complete communities or 15-minute city models under various names,
00:11:58.220active transportation, and a transition to EV infrastructure and electric vehicles.
00:12:08.440there is usually an emphasis on global investors and i think that that's really tied into the 15
00:12:16.940minute city model and we we see that when we drive into our towns we see the same
00:12:23.340big chains and their their stores in every town now right and i i think that that's part of the
00:12:30.28015 minute cities too is where where the mom and pop shops get kind of knocked out and the corporate
00:12:37.800chains get installed so um so anything like that what i do say that i just thought that was a
00:12:45.280natural progression of the way society has been going for the past 20 years or 30 or 40 years but
00:12:50.660that's an interesting way to look at it i just it's a pattern that i've noticed along the way
00:12:57.500and if people really want to help their councils to advocate against these official plans
00:13:07.040and rework them so that they do work for the community and you have an eye for this what i
00:13:14.900do is i print out the plan and i just go through it i skim through it and i highlight all of all
00:13:20.580of those words and then i get a broad overview and then i'll um put together a report and we can
00:13:28.000point to their exact wording and show them that that is very much in their plan if we look at
00:13:34.520Manitoba, or sorry, Brandon's plan for 2050, the entire plan was about net zero. And I find that
00:13:43.260really interesting because municipal priorities, there's about 10 of them. And, you know, they have
00:13:50.160to look at the roads, the infrastructure, the community buildings and programs, community
00:13:55.220safety, public safety, economic development, and housing and zoning. And those are all under
00:14:02.840municipal priorities and responsibilities and environmental stewardship. But what they've done
00:14:08.820is inserted global sustainable development goals underneath that local environmental stewardship
00:14:15.520and it starts to suck all the funding and time away from the administration and funding from
00:14:22.960the other priorities and redirecting it to EV charging stations and green municipal fleets and
00:14:29.980all this other stuff that is killing the small businesses and um it's different whether you're
00:14:36.320in a small town or a city too so this has a negative impact on on both what what is the
00:14:42.660difference between the small towns and the cities are the cities further along with these plans
00:14:46.740well sustainable development is what was sold to us as this idea of we're going to save the land
00:14:55.500for future generations, but we didn't know that we were signing up for a development scheme that
00:15:04.000was designed around redirecting population growth away from small towns and rural communities and
00:15:10.820into urban areas and high density housing, which when you look at a map of Canada, it's pretty
00:15:16.280obvious to see that that is not a development scheme that works for this country. And it's
00:15:21.340actually quite against what sorry not against when you look at our our national security is
00:15:31.940actually threatened if we are not dispersed across the country we need to have strong community
00:15:39.800communities dispersed across the rural areas as well so so what it is doing is when the population
00:15:47.720goes down in the small towns they don't have the tax base to provide services and they slowly get
00:15:54.880downgraded and then the people are displaced and they end up moving to the cities and there they
00:16:00.900have the housing issues and affordability and then we have more homelessness and mental health
00:16:08.480because people are displaced and their families are getting broken up so it's just a long-term
00:16:14.580pattern. It's been 30 years and we should be able to see the last 30 years what's changed
00:16:19.880and know that that's exactly when they started implementing sustainable development. And we can
00:16:25.120see that is part of the root cause of a lot of our country's nationwide crises. So they're
00:16:31.580squeezing people out of small towns and rural communities, trying to drive them into cities.
00:16:36.180This is exactly the plan that we heard Rosa Corey talking about in 2013. It's absolutely amazing how
00:16:42.920much of it is has come to light one thing i'm hearing more and more from people and i can talk
00:16:48.900about counselor lisa robinson and pickering there's another counselor in london and now
00:16:53.180here in the winnipeg metropolitan area there is a municipality called springfield and the mayor
00:16:59.840there is quite a bully he is what he's doing is he's kicking people out uh citizens out of town0.97
00:17:06.340council meetings for asking valid questions or telling them to sit their asses down and listen0.98
00:17:12.420to what we have to say. And now, Maggie, they are talking about actually getting rid of the
00:17:17.900question and answer period for every town meeting that they have once a month. If you're talking
00:17:23.820about something that's off the agenda, are you seeing a lot of this happening where these
00:17:28.200councils are just puffing up and pushing people away? They don't want to listen to them.
00:17:33.080Well, I guess I might have a different perspective on that.
00:17:36.700Well, that's because everybody loves you and you're so very, very nice. And it's so easy to sit next to you. It is. I mean, look at her. She's great. But I mean, you know, for the average person, you know, they want to go and ask a question. The mayor says, get out.
00:17:52.800And then, you know, some of these mayors and counselors are even kicking out other counselors who disagree with them, which is crazy, because if you can't get into a council meeting to express your, you know, your your opinions or ask a question, then how are we going to fight back on this?
00:18:08.500Yeah, it can be really frustrating. And I think it's also to be expected that we're going to see a response to more people engaging at the local level.
00:18:18.720So when I woke up this morning, it was kind of funny that Kickley wouldn't have even been needed or wouldn't have happened had Canadians not witnessed the largest protest in Canadian history with people coming from all across this country to the nation's capital.
00:18:43.720after two years of trying to call our representatives
00:20:30.160So if you go to the Take Action page on Kikli.ca, we have a nationwide survey right now, and we want to provide that data to local councillors across the country to show them that at the local level, Canadians want their local leaders to prioritize their municipal priorities and responsibilities over any global mandate.
00:20:55.460so yeah are you hearing i know you've had successes in uh ontario in a few cases and
00:21:03.520that's been awesome and you've i hope you're going to tell us about the success you've had
00:21:07.160in alberta in the past few days how do we recognize ickly in our towns or our cities are
00:21:17.920you know i mean whenever i think of them i still get this image in my head of just some shady
00:21:23.500character in a meeting sitting at the back nobody really knows who that is and they're just sitting
00:21:28.560there and they're listening and or maybe somebody is whispering in the mayor's ear or cao's ear
00:21:34.460like are these people visible are they volunteers do they work for the united nations how exactly
00:21:39.720are they placed in these city administrations well that's the beauty of going in and and
00:21:47.000watching your local council meeting when this stuff is being discussed and when somebody is
00:21:53.680going to step up from your community and and do a presentation to to bring forward information that
00:22:00.220they are um working alongside the fcm and icly and um these programs because what we notice is
00:22:09.720there is always one councillor who is driving the agenda forward at least one and it only takes one
00:22:16.740because it all sounds so good that another councillor will second it and the community isn't
00:22:22.700there to oppose it and the david suzuki foundation has gone gone around with their six million
00:22:29.340billion dollar budget and gathered 500 signatures from the community saying that that the community
00:22:35.520wants this plan so so they adopt it and that's why we have to go in there and participate locally
00:23:09.120And then it just keeps going forward like that.
00:23:11.080So that's why we have to watch our agenda. And everything that is related to the sustainable development goals that aren't to the benefit of our community, we can go in and we want to address that. And we're showing that there's ways that we can do that. We've had so many small wins, Shadow, in the last month or so. And I'd love to share some of those.
00:33:52.420Wait, wait, wait. I want to finish. It's the last couple of lines. Our council believes it's essential membership investments yield tangible benefits and foster inclusivity. I guess they feel as though they want to be included in all of it. They're not talking about the inclusivity that we've come to hate, the DEI inclusivity.
00:34:13.720Unfortunately, we no longer see these outcomes for our combined participation
00:34:17.320in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
00:34:21.840We hope the FCM will take these concerns into account
00:34:24.660to better serve rural municipalities in the future.
00:34:27.720As always, we're open to engage and for further discussion on the issues
00:34:51.500So now you've got this one municipality here who is sending this letter out to other municipalities across the country that they're affiliated with.
00:35:05.780probably you know the size that they are maybe a little bit smaller even to even like i mean
00:35:12.280these municipalities these councils in these places probably don't even know as you've pointed
00:35:17.640out in the past maggie that they've got this joining agreement with the fcm in the first place
00:35:22.520right it could have been signed 20 years ago for all they know or don't know yeah they they signed
00:35:27.200up they signed up as members for the fcm because there is value in collab uh the munis
00:35:34.260local governments being able to network together thus and then they would come together and if
00:35:42.200they needed support for different programs they would create programs and look for funding from
00:35:49.640the provincial and federal government right and then in the 1990s ICLEI was created and they came
00:35:56.980over to Canada and worked with the FCM and the first project that they did was to draft agenda 21
00:36:03.380and 1992 agenda 21 was signed the fcm went straight to work they drafted the municipal
00:36:11.640primer on how agenda 21 would be implemented through canadian municipalities and they launched
00:36:18.080the partners for climate protection program 1994 never since then this has been happening so
00:36:24.420522 municipalities are signed up for the partners for climate protection program the
00:36:29.520climate action plan program wait wait hold on hold on hold on hold on did you say 500 and what 25
00:36:35.160did you say just 522 and that number is going down so that's good but there's 2,000
00:36:43.240member municipalities of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and a lot of those
00:36:49.980are small town rural communities so last night I was in Castor a small town of 800 people
00:36:57.100and they're signed up for the FCM. So my wheels were turning and I created a package now so
00:37:07.800everyone across Canada hearing this can now go look to see if they have signed up for the FCM
00:37:14.960and then there is a report for them to put into their email and send it to their counselors
00:37:20.360with a template on what to put in your email to send it to them and then there's a petition you
00:37:26.380can take around get a few signatures on that petition i'll share it is that on the website
00:37:32.520sorry it's not on there i'll put it up okay okay yep there we go
00:37:40.100oh uh i have to do that there we go all right here it is is that it yeah so now we have
00:37:50.100an advocacy package for the withdrawal of the FCM and it's super simple everyone what we're going to
00:37:56.740do I put a link there to Stetler's letter you can check to see right here if you click that link
00:38:04.960if you've signed up as a member for the FCM your council has and then there is the report to send
00:38:13.140to your counselors there is a letter that your council can send to the FCM to notify them of
00:38:19.740withdrawing and then there's an email template that you can use to send that to your council
00:38:25.400there is a petition ready to go so you can gather signatures and a very short sweet deputation script
00:38:32.400along with Kikli's code of conduct and um and then I I what I'd like everyone just to recognize is
00:38:40.240how simple that letter was how in a local council they they do things politely right I love that
00:38:51.480letter because it's kind of like the way I'm communicating with councils too right it's like
00:38:57.800we don't like what you're doing we're going to say that very nicely and at the end we're going to
00:39:03.080sum it up with you know we're open to collaborating and we hope that that you shift course in the
00:39:08.580future, right? There's a reason why they ended that way. It's supposed to, we live in a civilized
00:39:14.720society. It's supposed to operate like that. People are supposed to come together in a council and
00:39:20.240disagree, but still be polite to one another, right? So it's kind of like an, how do I say it?
00:39:27.820It's like telling someone to bugger off in the nicest possible way, right? So, and actually,
00:39:37.200coming off as the the bigger person right so anyway with honey than you do with vinegar
00:39:47.600and you know the thing about this is people get so worked up and i'm sure you've seen this
00:39:53.180or you know you go to the city council meeting or the or the municipality meeting and what
00:39:58.600with the united nations you're a traitor and all of that stuff and then you know they start
00:40:03.420ranting and raving which either brings out some anger on the the other side of things or you know
00:40:09.400some sort of trepidation next thing you know the cops are showing up and whatnot i find it amazing
00:40:15.380how you are able to maintain such an even keel considering all of this stuff is swirling around
00:40:22.500you all the time maybe that's why because you just got used to it i guess i recognize what's at stake
00:40:31.360if we lose. And if winning means staying calm, that's what I'm going to do. And I want to
00:40:43.540encourage everyone that every time we can calm ourselves down and present this material
00:40:52.140the right way, that is a win, right? We got to get ourselves in order first, I think, too. And
00:41:00.240um and anyway it's the winning strategy it's the only way we're going to win is if we approach it
00:41:07.220this way we will lose every time if we if we take if we get out of control yeah and even we have
00:41:16.700that kickly code of conduct and i recommend everyone using our scripts i can't control
00:41:21.420everyone that's the other thing right i'm not gonna and i don't want to control everyone i
00:41:26.000recognize that people are going to go in and they're they're going to learn from from their
00:41:31.700experiences right and I trust that everyone really cares about this issue and they they want to do
00:41:37.560it right and they will eventually find a way that works for them for them to communicate we all have
00:41:42.420a way that we can effectively communicate not everyone's going to have the same approach I do
00:41:46.700but it will be it will it will work for them so find what works for you and also not seeing the
00:41:53.620council as the enemy and see them as the ones who have the power to make the decision to do the
00:42:03.060right thing. And our job is to convince them of the right thing to do and show them the reasons
00:42:07.740why. And the clerk and the staff, they are the instruction book, right? The council asks them
00:42:16.220all the time, what procedure do we use to get this done? And we can do the same thing. We can call
00:42:21.880them let them know hypothetically this is what we want to do what procedures do we need to follow in
00:42:26.440order to get there and we just start making those moves and if we're on the side of truth and we
00:42:31.540have the people behind us and it's the right thing to do and we can convince some of that that it's
00:42:36.120in the best interest of the residents and the municipality then we win that's it so when these
00:42:43.640folks in alberta reached out to you did they reach out as a group or was it one person and the reason
00:42:48.740that i ask that maggie is because you know there's there's maybe somebody watching this right now
00:42:53.060let's say her name is joanne and she's watching from musum in saskatchewan and she sees one of
00:42:59.380these plans coming in her little town of two or three thousand people and she wants to do something
00:43:04.240but she doesn't know anybody else who who sees what's going on can one person reach out to you
00:43:10.420does it need to be a group how does this work and as far as the kickly thing i mean what you're
00:43:16.380doing is fantastic but eventually you're going to run out of days in the year and hours in a day to
00:43:21.760be able to you know keep these folks trained up right so you're going to have to start training
00:43:26.520trainers as well right yeah yeah the it was the group that did deputations to the city of calgary
00:43:35.540recently that got a lot of traction during budget season they did a great job they reached out and
00:43:41.880And Heather Shade reached out as well.
00:43:44.460She's been watching this work for a while.
00:43:46.200When FCM had their trade show in Calgary, a group of them went down with with Kickley Flyers and were talking to the the local leaders that were gathered there.
00:43:58.220And for people who want to do this across the country, there is and have host me physically, for one thing, for the national tour.
00:50:46.280The link is in the comments and I'll put it into Rumble as well for you guys.
00:50:49.980So you can go have a look and take action.
00:50:52.640If you've got some people in your community and you want Maggie to come out and give you guys this seminar and teach up some people so that you can yourself go and teach other people how to do this.
01:00:31.080What about the people, the unvaccinated Canadians in our country who were tortured by our government for not taking a shot?
01:00:37.820What would have happened to me if I had done that and I had suffered a moral injury or a serious life-altering injury like so many documented people have and have been neglected?
01:00:47.520They're fighting for compensation, for support.
01:01:12.400These decisions that were made against the citizens of Canada
01:01:14.800were made without a scientific background,
01:01:17.520and they were made of a pseudo-religious belief,
01:01:20.040and people were persecuted and subjugated and separated because of it,
01:01:25.220and it did irreparable, immeasurable harm.
01:01:27.880Not sleepless nights for two or three weeks, but lost lives, untold physical and health damages, missed screenings for routine medical issues that cause the loss of life that we cannot calculate properly.
01:01:50.120It's okay for them to bring up this charge.
01:01:52.260It's okay for them to stitch language from other offenses that were acquitted or not laid into mischief to try to make it something it's not.
01:01:58.880But don't look at what Marco Van Heugen boss got.
