    Becoming a Citizen, Understanding Privilege and the Dissolving of Our Rights and Freedoms – with ‘Citizen Luke’ (GT022)

    Luke is a 4-year old Canadian Citizen that came to Canada from Australia. We talk about his background, his journey to citizenship and the process all immigrants must go through. “Thanks for the immigration, and thanks for the weed… and you know… you can take back everything else that you did….” “I agree with the problem, I don’t agree with the solution.” We delve into his thoughts on the structure of law and government, and how it affects and defines privilege and personal freedom. As well as the need to compare our structures to those of other countries, in order to truly understand the depth of how they affect personal freedoms. He explains the importance of the Canadian Constitution and The Charter of Rights and Freedoms: its history, its direct relation to our personal freedoms and the current assault on it. “The Charter was a ‘Canadian’ law – the first time that the structure of law and government was founded in Canada, instead of an act of British Parliament.”  “What we’re seeing in recent times, in my opinion, is the biggest assault on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the history of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”  “…And people are Cheering it along… this.. this erosion of these protections… they’re being convinced that it’s good for them, and it’s good for everyone.” “The people who are worried about this, they’re aware of what could be lost.  Most people aren’t aware of what they could lose.” It was a long chat, a good chat, a fun chat, and I am more informed, aware and intrigued because of it – Thanks Luke!   Thanks to you for listening – Until Next Time… Stay Strong and Stay Curious! **If you like what you hear and you think it’s important, please share it with as many people as you can… hopefully we can all become a little more aware and involved.** To support the Podcast, just click below or go to the website… and Buy us some… Time, Energy or Equipment $$ a Beer $8… a Coffee $5… … Many thanks for all the Support!! www.governthis.ca www.facebook.com/governthis twitter: @WeGovernThis

    BC Employees Organize and Fight for Freedom – Meet Philip Davidson and the ‘BC Public Service Employees for Freedom’ (BCPSEF – GT021)

    “The BCPSEF stands for Medical privacy and bodily autonomy and for workers fundamental employment rights.” – Philip Davidson “…You know, I don’t know if we’ll get there… but if we kind of allow this sort of thing to happen, or we accept this as normal, or ok, then we’ve lost something important in our society….” – Philip Davidson What’s happening to Public Service Employees of British Columbia… well, they’ve been told to either share their vaccination status or be terminated. Simple as that. But there is a group that has formed that is standing up against this mandate – the BCPS Employees for Freedom (BCPSEF).  In this episode I talk with Philip Davidson from the society and we get into the details of when  and how this started, what is happening now, and why it’s important to stand up against it.   Episode Links:Website: bcpsforfreedom.com Donate: GiveSendGo or PayPal YouTube: BCPS Employees for Freedom Instagram: BC Public Servants for Freedom Rumble: BCPS Employees for Freedom Vimeo: BCPS Employees for Freedom Librti: BCPS for Freedom Twitter: @BCPSFORFREEDOM   “Thanks for listening and Until Next Time… Stay Strong and Stay Curious!” **If you like what you hear and you think it’s important, please share it with as many people as you can… hopefully we can all become a little more aware and involved.** To support the Podcast, just click below or go to the website… and Buy us some… Time, Energy or Equipment $$ a Beer $8… a Coffee $5… … Many thanks for all the Support!! www.governthis.ca www.facebook.com/governthis twitter: @WeGovernThis
