Stop Bill C-51
Target:
The Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Health
Sponsored by:
Go to http://www.inspiredlife.ca/announcements/stop_bill_c51_rally_video to watch the rally from May 10, 2008 at Queen's Park.
On April 8th, 2008, the Canadian Minister of Health introduced Bill C-51 into the House of Commons. This Bill proposes significant changes to the current Food and Drugs Act that will have wide-ranging negative implications for all Canadians. This bill has already passed second reading. It appears that our Government is trying to fast track this bill before anyone has a chance to challenge it. Bills normally take months to pass not weeks.
Currently, many of our councilors and MPPs are unaware of the details to Bill C-51. How can we, as Canadian citizens, be informed when our government representatives are not even aware?
- April 9, 2008 UPDATE: Bill C-51 has passed it's first reading
- Bill C-51 will go to second reading soon - it is believed to be scheduled on May 8 or soon after.
Bill C-51 Will:
- Remove democratic oversight, bypassing elected officials to vote in laws and allow bureaucrats to adopt laws from other countries without our consent.
- Remove 60-70% of all Natural Health Products from Canadian stores. Many others will be available by prescription only.
- Restrict research and development of safe and natural alternatives in favour of high risk drugs.
- Punish Canadians with little or no opportunity for protection or recourse for simply speaking about or giving a natural product without the approval of government. More than 70% of people in Canada use a Natural Health Product. The new law goes so far as to warrant action against a person who would give another person an "unapproved" amount of garlic on the recommendation that it would improve that person's health.
- Allow inspectors to enter private property without consent, take your property at their discretion, dispose of your property at will, not reimburse you for your losses, seize your bank accounts, charge owners shipping and storage charges for seized property, be empowered to store your property indefinitely, and levy fines up to $5,000,000 and/or 2 years in jail per incident.
Here's what you can do to protect your rights:
- Go to www.inspiredlife.ca and find out more information about Bill C-51, download and print off template letters that you can sign and send POSTAGE FREE to the Canadian Health Minister
- Talk to your local press
- Contact your local MP (visit www.snipurl.com/localmp to find yours)
- Ask the leaders in your community to get involved
- Contact your MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly)
- Tell your Friends, Family, Neighbours & Coworkers

We, the undersigned, are very concerned about the ongoing debate on Bill C-51 (amendments to the Food & Drug Act) and the impact on natural health products.
As customers and users of natural health products, we are concerned that natural health products will be pushed further into the same laws that govern prescription drugs. The details in Bill C-51 seem to be left up to regulations. The forfeiture and seizure provisions for natural health products under Bill C-51 could be made without a warrant or judge's approval. Can you please tell us why we would want this as Canadians?
The debate surrounding Bill C-51 is an excellent opportunity for the Government to make good on previous commitments to create a third category for natural health products, which are low risk and have demonstrated benefits for the health and well-being of Canadians.
We do not oppose legislation that ensures safe and effective products for Canadians, but we do oppose legislation that treats natural health products like pharmaceuticals.
Thank you for considering our concerns.

To The Minister of Health, The Honorable Tony Clement, I completely oppose Bill C-51. Bill C-51 impinges on our freedom of choice. It is a total violation of human rights if you take away our right of what kind of medical treatment we use. As Canadians we should have the right to choose how we are medical treated. We should have the freedom to choose whether or not we buy our vitamins from a pharmacy or a heath store. Are you going to make it illegal to grow our own gardens, or our own farm animals for food, if we do not like buying tortured chicken and hormonal beef and pork from the supermarket. What you are doing is unethical and it is only designed to line the pocket of the rich pharmaceuticals. Bill C- 51 is limits us in big ways. Our health is important to us, what C- 51 will do is make it so the average human will not be able to maintain their health, it will drive prices up so high only the wealthy will be able to afford to by what they need to stay healthy. I happen to like the fact that I can pick and choose. Quit trying to take away my freedom of choice. What you are doing is wrong. What's next genocide?

I Ask you to stop trying to take away my right to look after myself n the way that my body wants. I do not need a professional Homopthy or other other professional to tell me what my body needs, nor do I have the money to pay one. Kindly mind your own business and stay out of mine.

My family and I have always used natural health products and services. We have only ever eaten Canadian grown foods and support local farmers. Our family was very low illness rates. This bill would be against our rights, lifestyle and beliefs. We have used MD's as well but we have always encountered less than satisfactory results. They usually give a presciption with horrible side effects. Once, I was given a presicription that had 80 potential side effects. The Pharmaceutical industry owns the Ministry of Health and directs it's laws and people. This industry and Health Canada have for the last 100 years have been polluting our bodies with MGO Foods, prescriptions, fast foods, poor access to proper health care and proper drinking water and they are dumping chemical wastes into our bodies by creating cancers and vaccines. Chemo is bio weapon left overs and vaccines are left over wastes containing mercury, antifreeze, alumininum, phenol, methanol, msg, sulfate, animal organ tissue, Aborted human foetal tissue and human albumin, latex, animal viruses, human viruses and yeast are just to name a few. It's not helping our immune systems and it's breaking them down to bring down world population and to dump chemical wastes in our bodies and to dump down our society. Just ask your local nurse for a list of vaccine ingredients before you get your next shot or anyone else you know of. THE GOV'T OF CANADA IS ALSO TRYING TO QUIETLY BRING IN BILL C-6 TO MAKE IT MANDATORY FOR ALL CANADIANS TO GET THE H1N1 VACCINE. It will be a criminal law not to take one.

STOP this nonsense ... why are people getting sicker and sicker? why are children's hospitals getting bigger and bigger? why is cancer being diagnosed so early in life? Instead of targeting the natural health products field, target the industrialization of our food and target the spurting out of a drug for every ailment ... do we really need a drug to quell our stomach gas? Something really stinks here!!!

The best defence is a good Offence. The government is continually wearing out the resolve of the electorate. In 2009 They released Bill C-6, entitled "Consumer Product Protection Act" which will strip away many rights and freedoms we have assumed were protected. Bill C-51 is destined to be reintroduced, putting the final nail in the coffin on our Fundemental Rights and Freedoms and with the freedom of choice in healthcare. On my causes page http://www.causes.com/hans/ you'll find a link to a Live Webinar on September 12, 2009, this Saturday. Please join our cause and help out!

Blood sucker! People have the right to find alternative therapy for their ailments. Who are you to try to do this to people who educate themselves on proper health care? The elderly are neglected by employees of the health care system and I will be damned if you try to stop me from living a quality life because you want more dollars to line your pocket!!!!!

This health bill CAN NOT go through!!! America is the land of freedom why are we going to allow the government to dictate our right to choose to have health insurance or let them penalize us if our plan is not in line with what they want. I am tiered of the government choosing what they think I should pay or have for health insurance. They plan to penalize citizens thousands of dollars if your health care does not fit their bill reform. They also want to penalize people who wish not to have health care up to $7,000 a year. Social medicine will kill this country. I have a father that is from Germany so I know with this bill you will have to wait in line with millions before you receive any type of medical attention and you will probably die while waiting to receive any medical help. People PLEASE remember that this is not a small country unlike other countries with smaller populations!!!

what a farce, why don't they ban the dyes and preservatives that food manufacturers put in our food that have been proven to cause tumors and cancerous growths. no of course not!! instead they'll ban natural ingredients that have been proven to promote health and wellness. once again big business bullies canadian people, and our government backs them up. i'm so disgusted and fed up with our government, they have no regard for the canadian people whatsoever. all they do is figure out one way after another to fleece citizens out of there hard earned money. most drugs don't even cure sickness, all they do is hide the symptoms, quit the drug and it all starts over again. that way the pharmacutical companies got you for life!! and our good old government will make it law, i,m so totally disgusted with our government. i oppose bill c-51, c-52, and being told that i can't take care of my own health!!!!

I consider Bill C-51 an impingement on my personal freedom to choose what form of medication I decide to use whether Natural or otherwise. I do NOT need the government or any other elected or appointed official to attempt to regulate these freedoms under the guise of looking after my safety or best interest. It is my personal belief that the Pharmaceutical companies (through lobbyists and by other means) are at the root of this travesty.

It is astounding that the Canadian government is bringing in such repressive legislation to curtail and control the natural health industry at a time when North American medical schools are establishing new study programs in integrated medicine which recognize the benefits of traditional medicine and produce doctors trained in the well-proven healing and natural health practices of non-Western societies. What special interests are playing with the government's (purse) strings on this issue?

In no way will bill C-51 positively affect our Canadian citizens in terms of mental, physical and emotional stability as well as overall health. This affects every part of our body and your children and grandchildren will also be toxically and negatively affected.

I feel that this bill will violate the rights and freedoms of Canadians. It is simply wrong. If this bill is passed, I will be ashamed of my country and it's established government. Marcus

I believe and am convinced that this bill will violate the freedoms of Canadians and all people living here. People should have the freedom to decide how they want to be treated, particularly when it comes to natural products, which are very low risk and provide so many health benefits that pharmaceuticals cannot say the same thing because they don't address causality only symptoms. The body cries out for nutrients. The body does not need synthetic chemicals. Makes sense since we know what is supposed to go in our bodies. People who want to pass this are not acting in the interest of the people who want them and want the freedom to use them and benefit from them, and so becoming healthier not sicker. If a supplement doesn't work, at least it won't harm you. I believe it is only wise to consult a knowledgeable person or resource when taking natural products, but the freedom should be theirs as much so as people have the freedom to use alcohol and cigarettes, etc. I don't see the government stepping in and taking cigarettes off the shelf. What kind of health regulation is there for them? I don't see any inspector shutting down a cigarette plant for harming people that choose to smoke. Those products should be taken off the shelf altogether because they KNOW they cause harm, ut they are still sold everywhere. But that echinacea is really dangerous. Give me a break. This signature also applies to C-52. I oppose it also.
