Ont Seeks More Powers For Premier To Be Ready For Possible Flu Pandemic

Posted on Wednesday, January 04 at 12:25 by FootPrints
"When an emergency happens - it doesn't matter whether it's the avian flu, another pandemic of some sort, a terrorist attack, a nuclear accident . . . we have to respond immediately," Kwinter says. "We don't have the luxury of being able to say, 'let's call back the legislature if it isn't sitting, and give them a couple of days to get here, and sit down and debate what we're going to do'." http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20060102/ca_pr_on_na/ont_emergency_powers_2 [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on January 4, 2006]

    What scares me more is the man in charge of the province. God help us if Dolton is still in charge!

    Greedy Poiticians all over North America are looking for opportunities to control the people and institute a Police State.

    There is no way in hell that I will be taking Big Pharma's mercury and toxin laden medicine to appease the Gods at Queen's Park.

    H5N1 is Donald Rumsfeld dream come true. After all it was he who gave us the number 1 toxin today 'Aspartame'.

    Google it and see what New Mexico is planning to do about it.

    Why would the premier possibly need "Extraordinary powers"? What is he going to do in case of an outbreak? Fight it singlehandedly?

    Your mantra has been your opinions are stifled due to their contrary nature, when they are actually stifled for being without perceivable foundation.

    I don't know about the rest of the country but it seems as if Ontario wants to implemented a "democratically elected dictatorship". They are truly seeming far too much power of the everyday dealings of peoples lives. It has come to mind of late that the steps that are being taken by Canada; Ontario in particular prepare the people for a police state. If you listen to the radio at all there are no shortage of people who are willing to allow it and promote it. America is truly turning into a police state but Canada may reach that point first.

    I have been wondering that myself Jesse. Why does he need to seek extra powers? I don't think I like the sound of this one...
