2018GardenParty

     Government evolves from its coercive, bureaucratic phase to its new role as coordinator and facilitator of people's creativity. Genuine Self-Government is achieved as people become truly Self-Governing---that is, higher-Self Governing. (Lines out of a book.) 

     The Garden Party is looking to the future. To have a future, the Agriculture Methods, in Canada, require a few alterations. And more than a few people to co-create the next big change in food production, processing and distribution.   

     These are not the only things that the Garden Party, now based in Spences Bridge is working on, but we see food as the first step. We need to sustain ourselves and those working on positive actions that will carry us all into a co-created evolving future, exercising our full human potential as individuals. This will benefit not only in addressing the errors of our Agriculture methods, but also add to our efforts of slowing down Climate Warming, adapting, and maintaining Natural Diversity. 

     We are here in Spences Bridge to talk, learn and teach, and apply ourselves to tasks at hand, because this is a big job, 1500 trees or thereabouts, we are not waiting for Spring to spring into action. Check out your local food producers, they may need help to be help.    

        

CollectiveAction?

     We are working on the big picture, a small piece of the big picture. We look at it like this, every little piece is a part of the big picture. Every little piece is surrounded by other little pieces and are affected by one another, which in turn, as the ripple goes out and comes in, we are affecting the whole world constantly, and the world is affecting us constantly, as individuals, if there is such a thing as a individual.

     The little piece we are working on right now is Hilltop Gardens in Spences Bridge, covering garlic with hay for protection from wind and cold, just about finished for the day when seventeen mountain sheep walked past the garden. 

     

NewTradePolicyCanada

     What do Canadians need? Can we make what we need? Or do we expect others to provide our needs and wants? How much world trade do we really need to take care of our own collective needs? What can we not provide? Food? Does Canada not have a climate capable of food production from coast to coast? Why do some live in Canada without shelter? What is happening to all those millions of trees cut every year? Enough trees to built a house for every person in the country every year, that's how many trees. Can Canadians make their own shoes? Cloths? Blankets? Of course Canadians once did and still can provide for most of their needs. So can most other countries if their agricultural lands are not growing pineapples to feed Canadians.

     So what Trade Deals do we need to make? Or are these trade deals more about making populations dependent on the likes of Walmart, Canadian Tire, Safeway, Monsanto, MacGarbage, and such? Are we all to be slaves and servants of a few giants? Oh, but we can vote, for a new rider to sit in the saddle of a dead horse. 

     The Garden Party, Self Government of Canada Without Borders, is all for The New Freedom To Trade Deal, With Everybody, and Freedom To Not Trade Deal, With Everybody. 

     It is official, all previous trade deals made by past governments in Canada are now in the Garden Party Compost, with all other weeds and useless jobs. Just get a live horse and go for it.   

SiteCDam

     One solution has been offered by First Nations people who don't want Site C Dam. Pick up your tools BC Hydro, and leave. Let Mother Nature repair the damage done. Sounds sensible. No two billion needed, pick up your toys and leave. 

     If there is need to help Mother Nature for a faster recovery of the damage done on the Site, Occupation Apple Tree, The Garden Party, Self Government of BC, it's all one, commits to do what it can, out of its common purse. Besides, and this is not Fake News, Site C Dam is on a Old fault line, which means that the Dam will never be safe. A Dam crossing earth plates, even if those plates have not moved recently, is not smart thinking, especally stupid considering the size of the Dam, and the overwhelming evidence that we do not need the Energy. Dig In.

     Junk in, Resources out. Resources in, Junk out. Canada: Resources out, Junk in, Garbage Dumps Up. China: Resources in, Junk out, Air Quality down.

     Garden Party is celebrating 2017 Buy Nothing Sell Nothing, and Save Canada and China Xmas, something you can enjoy all year long, without going into debt. Enjoy.
