FOLLOWING ARE MY NOTES AND MEETINGS RESEARCHING C 51
Why Have the Liberals And Stephane Dion neglected the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Supported Bill C 51?
Does Hedy Fry, Liberal MP of Vancouver Center, hate alternative and natural health products? Via ‘Project 2000′ Hedy Fry attempted to eliminate the rights of ALL Canadians access to any health products other than pharmaceutical drugs. Has Hedy Fry simply decided she ‘knows whats best’ for you and decided for you?
NDP Rally Behind Canadians Against C 51
See Official NDP position to STOP C 51 at the end of this blog page.
July 13, 2008: I just attended a rally held by Olivia Chow, MP. Olivia is the wife of Jack Layton, Leader of the NDP. The NDP have made it very clear that they oppose C 51. The reasons were simple: C 51 endangers the health and well being of Canadians. C 51 gives the biggest and most self serving Corporation (my words) Health Canada, more powers that would violate your rights of property and rights of legal recourse. C 51 would give HC the power to force you to remove Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese herbs etc that you are using in your house and in your food right now.
Summary of the briefing by Olivia Chow, MP: (Other major players to STOP C 51 were in attendance)
1. Push your MPs and their opponents to take a definite stand either FOR (Amend) or AGAINST (Stop) C 51.
2. Circulate PETITIONS and collect a minimum of 25 signatures in your MPs riding (your neighborhood) to Demand that your MP reads the Petition to the House of Commons — by LAW they must read a petition in the House of Commons sent to them by members in their riding.
3. Get your friends to contact their friends and encourage them to send a simple letter / card to their MP demanding they STOP C 51.
4. Take responsibility for your own political riding.
5. We have until September 15, 2008 to force our MPs to support US in STOPPING C 51.
6. The Liberal Party is supporting C 51. The Liberal Party and individual MPs need to take a stand to STOP C51 for this movement to really make a difference.
7. Why is Stephane Dion and other MPs supporting C 51??

Important: The long-term solution to attacks against freedom to access alternative health will be laid out in the Thursday June 26, 2008 LIVE telecast. You can still watch it now. An Amendment won’t put this issue to rest for long — due to Health Canada’s tendency to attack NHP and safeguard pharmaceuticals: remember, NHP are NOT covered by Health Care, likely due to Health Canada.

Live Briefing by Shawn Buckley, Constitutional lawyer, JUNE 2, 2008, 6:30 St Andrews Westley Church, Burrard / Nelson St., Vancouver, BC
Note: I attended the above briefing by Mr. Shawn Buckley. Over 500 people attended for the 2 + hour briefing on Natural Health Products, NHP including TCM in this category. Mr. Buckley Highlighted several facts:
- Health Canada is the actual agency behind banning NHP that would otherwise save Canadians’ lives and prevent Canadians from unnecessary exposure to dangerous pharmaceutical drugs.
- NHP have resulted in 0 deaths to Canadians in over 100 years
- Health Canada is restricting access of Canadians to NHP which has caused Canadians to DIE
- Health Canada is BLOCKING the 53 recommendations it took 6 years of work to put forward by Canadians and professionals (2004). Giving Health Canada any jurisdiction over my health choices would be a mistake in my mind. Remember, Health Canada does NOT support Naturopaths, TCM, Homeopathy, etc.
- The most basic right is the right to protect one’s own body from disease and provide health to it - interfering with that right violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- Individuals control the voices and action of their MPs, but only if individual Canadians make their EXACT views known, can their MPs act on their best interests.
- MPs are mostly good people. They need to be politely educated about some of the concerns we have regarding our well being and safety. Making friends with MPs is the sure way toward victory for both politician and constituent alike.
- www.nhppa.org , lead by Shawn Buckley as President, will provide long standing watch over threats to NHP and TCM. People should support it.
Warning: The Canadian Health Foods Association, www.chfa.ca - my notes
June 13, 2008: I attended a Town Hall briefing by Joyce Murray, Vancouver Quadra MP. Joyce has been a campaigner supporting NHP and alternative medicine for decades in BC. This is good news. Joyce supports the NHP and alternative movement — yet Joyce allies with groups like the CHFA, directly funded by Health Canada to sell HC compliance onto the Health Food Industry. HC is eliminating the majority of smaller independent small Health businesses in Canada. HC has taken 50,000 products off of our shelves, closed Canadian businesses — most likely resulting in illness and possibly death to Canadians.
Why?
In a brief conversation I had with her, Joyce indicated she was not briefed on the legal implications of C 51. Yet she is an MP. I, a simple citizen. I watched Dr. James Lunney, speak out in detail of how HC has attempted to destroy a decent Canadian group who opposes it’s will. How HC actively violates the will of the Government of Canada and the orders of The Department of Justice, Canada. Why would Joyce ally herself with groups DIRECTLY FUNDED BY HEALTH CANADA to push it’s will further onto the Canadian people?
It would be great to see Joyce be briefed on how C 51 permits HC carte blanche power over and above the right of property ownership and law; how C 51 and 52 will permit gross violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights, etc. Joyce was very well aware of NHP disappearing from store shelves, and rightfully concerned. She didn’t express as much concern over Charter infringements — indicating she may not be aware of C 51’s implications on the Charter. Unfortunately, MPs aren’t required to understand the law (as a constitutional lawyer such as Shawn Buckley has), although MPs create the senior laws of our country. As Joyce has decided to go to bat for Canadians who wish freedom of choice over their health choices, it would be wonderful to see her get briefed by Shawn. Actions always speak louder than words. Looking forward to hearing more successes from Joyce on her rise to eminence in the House of Commons.
Joyce, had been briefed by the speaker for CHFA, Donna Herringer on C 51 and it’s implications. Donna is indirectly employed by Boehringer Inglemheim’s Canada Ltd. Pharmaceuticals. Donna gave a perspective of moderation at the Town Hall meeting, but failed to fully and/or properly address major concerns I had regarding violations of Human Rights: Unconstitutional search and seizure, unnecessary penalization for those NHP and health device providers that would be attacked by Health Canada (HC) failing immediate compliance with demands by HC. My concerns are that HC restricts many NHP: these restrictions result in long-standing NHP products taken off of our shelves, they are actively blocking 1,000s of products from entering Canada: herbs, hyperberic chambers, etc. As HC has been blocking recommendations by Canadians, HC is clearly the stopper — I don’t trust HC to do their job.
Another MAJOR concern which was shoved off by Donna was Direct to consumer advertising by Pharmaceutical companies. Currently only 2 countries in the WORLD permit pharmaceuticals to be marketed directly to unsuspecting consumers. In the last 8 years, Dr. Gary Null, PhD wrote Death by Medicine (Google it) and I’ve personally seen pharmaceutical drug abuse sky rocket and cemeteries filled because of direct to consumer legislation ( Vioxx). C 51 permits Direct to Consumer advertising — Joyce Murray knew nothing of this impact of C 51. If she is going to be a campaigner for Canadian’s health, it’s time to find out. I hope Joyce has found out about this. Again, actions speak louder than words. Joyce could rise up as champion for the cause of Canadians’ Health Freedoms — I truly hope she achieves great success.
Why does Joyce Murray support C 51?? I don’t get it. C 51 give MORE power to Health Canada to attack groups like True Hope, TCM, Ayurvedic. Why permit HC to have any force of power where they have proven to be corrupt to the core. HC, a foreign controlled corporation, works for itself and it’s paying customers — mostly Pharmaceutical corporations, NOT the best interest of Canadians.
Donna Herringer is by default working for Health Canada. After HC paid the CHFA over a million dollars via ‘Nutrinet’, to comply with HC regulations, as Donna Herringer is the President of the CHFA, Donna just received a HUGE payoff by HC to forward its regulations.
Why did Joyce Murray ally herself with the CHFA and Donna Herringer?
(Below taken directly from www.stopc51.com AFTER amendments PRAISED by HC and the CHFA, June 26, 2008)
“In cunning fashion, the proposed amendments to C-51, which have been praised by the Minister and the CHFA, actually tighten the grip of government around our natural health products and foods. The inclusion of the term Natural Health Product under the Therapeutic Products category is not the “Third Category” or separate “Act” the industry is demanding. What is most alarming is the new definition of what a natural health product is to be. Proposed in Clause 3, Page 6 of the amendment is the new definition of a natural health product as any plant or plant product and any non-human animal product that affects our health and function. This means real food is to be regulated as a natural health product, and will be governed by the same prohibitive and regulating powers that govern drugs, devices, cells, tissues and organs. The only workable regulations agreeable to the Natural Health Product industry are the ones that protect NHPs from drug governing legislation. If tobacco can be governed under its own Tobacco Act (c. 13 1997), then so too can traditionally safe and effective Natural Health Products and therapies.
It isn’t any wonder that when the CHFA champions and applauds the initiatives of government that many within the natural health products industry feel disenfranchised. They do not trust that the Canadian Health Food Association is lobbying on their behalf. They join with the ranks of a growing number who suspect that the so called “Voice of the Natural Products Industry” is really the voice of government within our industry. Rather than lobbying government on our behalf, the CHFA appears to lobby us on behalf of the government. In fact, one of the CHFA’s governing principles, available for all to read, is to provide only those products and programs that comply with government regulations.”
(end of quote taken from www.stopc51.com)
As long as HC calls the shots, NHP and alternative healing devices won’t be given free access to Canadians. 50,000 NHP are now missing or no longer permitted in Canadian stores thanks to HC. Hope those HC employees get sick of their jobs quickly. Maybe they will become whistle blowers like Dr. Shiv Chopra, former HC scientist who disapproved dangerous drug applications — HC disagreed.
Google Donna Herringer. It’s more interesting than I can write in this blog.
The Canadian Health Foods Association, CHFA is made up of pharmaceutically backed groups / associations which are heavily lobbying to ‘amend’ C 51. These pharmaceutical groups have been buying up Health food manufacturers and interests for years. Estimates of 70% of the major NHP providers in Canada are owned by Pharmaceutical interests. One may reconsider who the CHFA is run by — ‘follow the money’.
I believe CHFA is simply trying to eliminate the competition by supporting expensive application processes for already safe NHP. You see the way to make really BIG MONEY is to have a monopoly over a market area. Eliminating smaller NHP producers through expensive and lengthy applications, unnecessary studies, etc is easily done by large Health Food companies. Especially if those large Health Food companies are owned by Pharmaceutical Companies. I hope you’re following the simplicity of this logic.
- www.chfa.ca IGNORES violations of human rights, illegal search and seizure, changing of definitions of ‘Government’ ’sell’ etc.
- The CHFA is the MAJOR stopper behind why the media have not given wide spread blasts against C 51 & C52. The media goes to the CHFA for answers and to address concerns regarding C 51 & C 52 and the industry and the CHFA minimize the Bill to a ‘definition of Natural Health Products’ that it doesn’t approve of.
- CHFA place zero importance on our Charter of Human Rights and maximal importance on its own financial interests.
- It is my belief that the CHFA is complicit with the intent of C 51 and C 52 and in essence working with Health Canada and Pharmaceutical interests to regulate the health food movement into it’s back pocket. I for one, do not support the CHFA.

Human Rights Warning: Regarding Bill C-51 introduced into Parliament on April 8, 2008. A defense lawyer has analyzed the proposed legislation and I have looked at it myself. I am gravely concerned about the human rights violations found in the document, especially for those that make a living in the alternative health care field. For information on some of the concerns I have, please visit http://www.healthcanadaexposed.com/c51/legal_review.pdf.
Canadian Bill of Rights
(To watch a video that explains how Codex Alimentarius would override existing freedoms to Canadians, go to Codex Alimentarius explained.)
I want to remind you that the Canadian Bill of Rights was passed in 1960 and it does not grant us our human rights but recognizes our rights granted to us by God. Nobody has the right to infringe on those rights. Canadian Bill of Rights states: The Parliament of Canada, affirming that the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God, the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions; Affirming also that men and institutions remain free only when freedom is founded upon respect for moral and spiritual values and the rule of law; And being desirous of enshrining these principles and the human rights and fundamental freedoms derived from them, in a Bill of Rights which shall reflect the respect of Parliament for its constitutional authority and which shall ensure the protection of these rights and freedoms in Canada: “1. It is hereby recognized and declared that in Canada there have existed and shall continue to exist without discrimination by reason of race, national origin, colour, religion or sex, the following human rights and fundamental freedoms, namely, (a) the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law; (b) the right of the individual to equality before the law and the protection of the law;”
Freedoms Under Charter of Rights
What does Liberty mean? Blacks Law Dictionary Eighth Edition defines Liberty as “Freedom from arbitrary or undue external restraint, esp. by a government.” “[Liberty] denotes not merely freedom from bodily restraint but also the right of the individual to contract, to engage in knowledge, to marry, establish a home and bring up children, to worship god according to the dictates of his own conscience, and generally to enjoy those privileges long recognized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.” Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U.S. 390, 399, 43 S.Ct. 625, 626 (1923) The same legislation (section 1a) also protects Canadians by insuring that “due process of law” is followed. The proposed legislation is fraudulent in many respects as it completely disregards the individual’s right to due process. 2. Every law of Canada shall, unless it is expressly declared by an Act of the Parliament of Canada that it shall operate notwithstanding the Canadian Bill of Rights, be so construed and applied as not to abrogate, abridge or infringe or to authorize the abrogation, abridgment or infringement of any of the rights or freedoms herein recognized and declared, and in particular, no law of Canada shall be construed or applied so as to (e) deprive a person of the right to a fair hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice for the determination of his rights and obligations; The same legislation also places a burden on the government to ensure that any legislation or regulation that is “introduced in or presented to the House of Commons” goes through a vigorous check to ensure it does not infringe on anybodies rights. 3. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the Minister of Justice shall, in accordance with such regulations as may be prescribed by the Governor in Council, examine every regulation transmitted to the Clerk of the Privy Council for registration pursuant to the Statutory Instruments Act and every Bill introduced in or presented to the House of Commons by a Minister of the Crown, in order to ascertain whether any of the provisions thereof are inconsistent with the purposes and provisions of this Part and he shall report any such inconsistency to the House of Commons at the first convenient opportunity. May I take this moment to remind you that based on the order of creation, God is the creator of everything in heaven and on earth. This is recognized on many documents like the Canadian Bill of Rights, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and in the Constitution Act. That means we are all equal under God. The moment you ran for office, you became a servant to the individuals of this country. You swore and oath, which reads:
Member of Parliaments Responsibilities To Uphold Human Rights
I, ……………, do Solemnly swear (affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors according to law, forever. So help me God. You should be aware that the Queen also swore an oath and part of that oath reads: Archbishop: Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon, and of your Possessions and other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs? Queen: I solemnly promise so to do. Archbishop: Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements? Queen: I will. Archbishop: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them? Queen: All this I promise to do. The Queen promised a lot. She promised to “cause Law and Justice” and to “maintain the Laws of God”. That places an extreme burden and duty on her and on those individuals who swore and oath of allegiance to her, which also includes you. It is your duty to help her carry out her oath. God’s laws are specific and I believe some of his laws state:
Human Rights Have Basis In 10 Commandments
Exodus 20:13-17 You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” Upon the first reading of this bill, there are many examples where it is authorizing individuals to steal and covet “anything that belongs to your neighbor”. I implore you to take action immediately and let the ethical truth come out in your dealings with this bill or any other bill that attempts to strip the individuals of his / her rights and freedoms.

NDP Rally Behind Canadians Against C 51
June 23, 2008
Dear Tibor,
Thank you for sharing your concerns about Bill C-51, an Act to Amend the Food and Drugs Act.
My colleagues and I in the NDP Caucus oppose Bill C-51 as it now stands. We have taken this position for a number of reasons including the view that it may open the door to direct-to-consumer advertising of pharmaceuticals, that it gives inordinate discretion to the Minister on a number of fronts, and that it may be a thinly-veiled attempt to bring natural health products under the rubric of drugs.
The NDP has always viewed natural health products as a vital component of our health care system and believes that a separate category is needed for licensing purposes, as well as for ensuring safety and efficacy. Bill C-51 lumps natural health products in with drugs under a category being called therapeutic products which appears to reverse a long-standing position of having a separate regulatory framework. This, combined with a huge backlog in the licensing of natural health products – a consequence of flawed implementation by consecutive Liberal and Conservative governments – has raised the alarm bells.
For this reason and others concerns pertaining to advertising, adverse reactions, and life-cycle licensing, we are opposed to Bill C-51 as it is presently crafted. It has not yet been sent to committee, but when it does, we want to see a comprehensive study with adequate time for the full range of witnesses. It is essential that this bill not pass without the necessary amendments creating a reasonable approach for dealing with natural health products, as well as ensuring that the bill as a whole is premised on the “do no harm” principle, rather than the Conservatives “risk-management” approach.
Thanks again for getting in touch with me and raising your concerns about Bill C-51.
Sincerely,
Judy
