As of this morning, Friday the 8th of February, we start a daily analysis of “what’s going on with the macabre dance in Ottawa”. I liken the present push and shove contest to three (male?) dancers on a small table top. They are each shoving a tiny bit while desperately holding on to each other for fear of being ejected out onto the floor and out of the dance..
Or maybe it is more like a schoolyard squabble about “my Daddy is bigger than your daddy”. None of them wants a fight at this moment, and neither of them has a hope in hell of winning one outright, and after all it is the bewildered spectators (you and me) who will decide the outcome anyway (and pay for it).
And all three are trying to make our participation in the Afghan War the key issue when it clearly is not. In Afghanistan we are “in for a penny, in for a pound” whether we like it or not. Only if the Taliban physically eject us (as the Viet Cong ejected the Yanks) can we pack up and leave, albeit with our tails between our legs. That is exactly why the other whimpy NATO nations will not “get stuck in”. Getting in is as easy as walking through an open door, getting out is not quite as simple. Or maybe Jack Layton can advise us what to tell the little girls of Afghanistan as we cut and run, and send them back into the Middle Ages of ignorance, suppression, slavery and circumcision. There are about twenty million Afghanis. Half of them are women.
The Liberals volunteered us in the first place, and I have wondered if they did not do that deliberately, knowing they were probably going to lose the election to the Conservatives and thereby stick them with a messy political issue that has, at present, no solution.
So what does this all mean to the Morning Glory Rebellion? It means the same to us as to every other Canadian. The NDP will have no more influence on national or international affairs than they have ever had, which is nil. The conservatives and the liberals will go to the polls hissing and spitting like a couple of half grown kittens in a yard fight. The public will not know what to do because there is such a large clump of voters who don’t want to vote Liberal or Conservative for a variety of reasons, none of which has anything to do with the Taliban.
That is precisely why Harper and Dion are going to make Afghanistan the perfect non-issue. Neither wants to make a commitment to actually solve any of Canada’s real problems.
So, as of today, we should stay the course, but increase the political uncertainty by spreading the word farther and faster. It is before the election that we have the most influence, not afterwards.
Remember, IF there is a major irreversible change of attitude by Stephen Harper, we can switch to his support in a blink of an eye. So far there has been no movement by “he who would be our Diktator” to justify our support.
This country can not be democratically governed by a central government. It is too big, too diverse and the “French Problem is a man-made cancer in our guts which cannot be eradicated. That is why the House of Lords structured the BNA Act the way they did. They knew we had to develop as a true confederation of Provinces. That is exactly why they made the Provinces solely responsible for, amongst other things, property rights. They did all of this because they had been forced to give these rights to a conquered people (the Quebecois) for fear of a subsequent rebellion, which they did not have the will nor the military and naval forces to suppress. At that time the British were very much entangled in a myriad of colonial wars in India, the East Indies and Africa. And at that time the Americans were making very loud noises about removing Great Britain totally from North America.
Once the BNA Act came into effect in 1867 there was no turning back. Just because all of our governments since then have tried to centralize control does not make it possible. But many tricks were tried. Who do you think was behind the FLQ Crisis? The “Big Daddy Trick” of creating a national emergency, then invoking emergency measures to suppress it is as old as the first dictator in history. Does it not occur that C 68 was a similar ploy? Just because it didn’t work does not mean that Chretien and Rock did not think that they could succeed. And, from their point a view, it was worth a try because to lose was merely to waste billions of dollars, none of which was theirs!
I am sure that both those gents are drawing every penny of their substantial pensions despite their major blunders. And all the bureaucrats and lawyers who put C 68 together will do the same. We can influence only those who continue to support C 68 and who seek election.
That is all we can do, so let’s do it!

Our Rights
Exactly What Rights Do We Have?
As anyone who has taken a course in basic logic knows, there are two ways to win a logical argument; you prove by evidence that such and such is the case, or you argue successfully that so and so must be the fact of the matter, because nothing else can be.
This may be applied to an argument about what rights we have. We are deprived of a supporting argument in favour of a specific property rights by virtue of it having been deliberately omitted from our Constitution Act of 1982. And coincidently there is no description of what (private) property is. It doesn’t exist. It is left to Law Court Judges to rule in specific and narrow cases and all so far have supported the State’s Right over the citizen.
I am convinced that each and every one of us can prove in a Court of Law that we have all of the rights that we claim to have by proving that most of the laws in the Criminal Code of Canada could not exist if we did not inherently have the right not to be deprived of any specific right in the first instance. There could not be a law against shoplifting, for instance, if it wasn’t a fact in law that the chocolate bars on the grocery shelf are the rightful property of the shop owner. And therefore it is unlawful for any person to deprive, or attempt to deprive the rightful owner of his property. Ipso facto: the shopkeeper has property rights, even though our Constitution Act does not say so. Murder could not be named as a crime if we did not all have the right to life. Women could not be protected against rape if they did not have, in this country at least, the exclusive right to determine with whom they will have intercourse.
The Criminal Code of Canada is a very large volume; even the Pocket Edition will not fit into any pocket that I own. It contains (2004 edition) 1555 pages that are
Printed with type of this size.
So, there are many laws that can only have been derived by virtue of our right to material property, wealth, intellectual property, security of person, freedom from physical and sexual abuse and myriads of lesser rights. There is even a specific law (CCC 323 (1) that protects owners of oyster beds. Therefore, persons who own oyster beds obviously have the exclusive right to the product of them. My biggest fear is the Supreme Court of Canada, as presently mandated, will selectively extinguish, one by one, those they wish to see gone. I imagine they will leave oyster beds alone for the time being.
However, before important laws are obliterated I would strongly recommend that anyone who is charged with the offence that the person did something to protect loss of personal property of any sort, dig into the C.C.C. and use that wealth of evidence to support the contention that IF it is an offence in the Criminal Code of Canada to deprive, or attempt to deprive a citizen of any personal property, then the right to that property must exist. To argue otherwise would be illogical and contrary to the essential elements of peace and good order. Maybe this explains why Canada seems to be coming progressively more disorderly.
If this all be true then we can justly demand that our Justice Department rewrite the laws that clarify our Rights. This means an amendment to The Constitution Act of 1982, or more likely, a complete re write followed by a National Referendum. This process is the only way that we can undo the injustice done to us all by Pierre Trudeau in collusion with all one thousand provincial and federal parliamentarians twenty six years ago. In 1982 not one MP or MLA in this country raised a serious word of objection to this most undemocratic of Acts that poses as the Law of the Land. I’ll repeat that. Not one of our elected representatives objected to a new Basic Law for Canadians that left out the most basic of Rights. Which means simply that our elected representatives, all of them, had something besides the welfare of we the people on their minds 26 years ago.
Or maybe they just can’t think!
We had better start raising hell because ’meek and mild’ obviously won’t cut it!

Don't Forget
Don’t Forget Our Primary Target….
…..which is to convince the Conservatives that there are more gun owning voters who insist that Bill C 68 be repealed in its entirety than there are adherents to Miss Cukier’s merry band of would-be castrators. We are three million strong…they number only in the hundreds. Surely Stockwell Day can count, even if the boy economist cannot!
Despite Stephen’s protestations to the contrary there are many things that a minority government can do without the consent of the opposition Parties and they had better start doing some of them before it is too late to convince our followers that we have won. In that case, the Conservatives will lose their one and only chance for a majority government, and Stephen will be looking for new employment.
A major wave of Green-voters may take some time to re-direct.
We urge you all to watch for positive signs that the CPC has got the message. But do not get sucked in by things like Bill C 24.
If the Mounties can find no sign of criminal behavior in Lyin Bryin’s conduct in the Airbus Affair then there isn’t a crook in the country ! If they can be ordered to get off Lyin Bryin’s back they can be ordered to get off ours!

Whither Now, Patriots
Keep it Quiet, for Now
The subject of how much of a Following we have came up at a recent MGR session. I don’t know, and nor does anyone else.
Is that good or bad?
After subsequent thought I have concluded that it is good. The enemy must always be prepared for the worst and the less they know, the more they have to fear.
I think that we will have the most effect if we surprise the hell out of a lot of people when the ballots are tallied. Only if both the Conservatives and the Liberals fear a major rebellion beforehand will we see them cut a deal. I do not believe that enough of the three million legitimate gun owners will openly declare for the MGR to make that likely, so we will play the game, ”There’s a shark in the water but we won’t tell you where.”
Nothing much is going to happen to Gun Control until the Conservatives know for sure that we can hurt them. There are presently a couple of small issues that may point to a slight relaxation within the Conservative Party but that only encourages me to push harder, to see if we can open the gap. Meanwhile they may bring in a couple of meaningless amendments in an attempt to appease the peasants.
On the table it is their move. We should continue to spread Morning Glory seeds and wait quietly. From the speech given by Stockwell Day in response to the demand by Toronto’s mayor for an immediate ban on handguns I see the first indication of more rigid wording in our favour, but because politicians play with words and innuendo like a cat plays a mouse, when the mouse lies dead on the floor we will know its fate, not before.
There is a time limit on how long Harper can string this Parliament out – October 2009. He can create an immediate election any time he wants to lure the Opposition into defeating his Government. It is his call, but time is on OUR side. Even if the status remains quo for 20 more months I can see us only constantly expanding our plan. The PM will buy some votes here and there but he can’t buy enough to guarantee himself a majority. The legitimate gun owners alone can give him that, but we will have to see an abolishment of the People Registry first, and even then all may not be forgiven.
And we must not ever again be held to account for what the politicians, courts, Immigration Department and police together have failed to do about the armed criminal element in Canada. There is absolutely no sense in any government wasting our money attempting to confiscate our property. We are not the problem, never have been!
The sole responsibility of any Justice Department is to provide a just society, not an environment that encourages criminal activity and injustice. In short, “Get off my back, cop, and go catch a real crook!”

Who is the Real Crook?
Abuse of Authority
It is not only Police who can be guilty of the above noted criminal offence. Members of Parliament, especially Cabinet Ministers, can also be guilty of that charge.
We maintain that three prime ministers and three or more Crown Ministers are guilty of that charge. That came about by the simple act of creating the infamous Bill C 68 and then amending the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code and by causing the police forces of Canada to enforce what are illegal laws.
They are illegal because the authority to create laws pertaining to personal property are, in the BNA Act, the sole domain of the provincial legislatures. Ottawa never had the right to create laws pertaining to Personal Property (which includes firearms). They do have the right to create laws pertaining to serious crime. But they do not have the right or authority to create a new crime that applies to law-abiding citizens who refuse to register private property. Neither can they demand a registry or fee of people who drive on provincial roads or fishermen who fish in provincial water or hunters who hunt on provincial crown land or drillers who drill for mineral resources on provincial land.
Simply put, Stephen Harper and Stockwell Day, and their predecessors are all guilty of imposing regulations that derive from an illegal Act. By that same process all Members of Parliament who know this fact and do nothing to expose it are in default of their sworn oath to uphold the principle of law.
I doubt that anyone will even try to rebut this statement. The fact of the matter is not that two million gun owners are guilty of a criminal act but that 308 present Members of Parliament and an unknown number of ex-MPs are the real crooks because they fail(ed) to denounce a crime being committed by their peers.
Writing petitions and letters, holding protest meetings, wasting time and money in court appeals have so far produced nothing of consequence in having C 68 repealed. These actions by otherwise law-abiding paper criminals has had serious financial effects on the accused and appellants and a considerable waste of everybody’s dollars to pay the Crown employees and police to harass innocent people and to record the serial numbers on their private property in an illegal central registry.
If the passage and imposition of C 68 is an illegal act then it is time that those who created that Act and those who still impose its subsequent illegal Rules and Regulations be charged with abuse of authority in the same manner that would apply to an overbearing and intimidating police constable.
The Morning Glory Rebellion provides an economical and effective way to tell our overpaid bench warmers to quit supporting a serious abuse of authority. The need and necessity of maintaining law and order applies equally to all citizens but most especially to all who have sworn an oath to do so.

To the Ladies
Who Loses the Most When Firearms are Confiscated?
It is a fact that one half of a household’s assets, under Canadian Law, belong equally to each of a spousal couple. So, furniture, appliances, autos, boats, sleds AND firearms will be split down the middle in case of divorce or permanent separation. But if the firearms are at any time confiscated and destroyed, your asset becomes zero.
The total value of the firearms in Canada is not too difficult to estimate. There are 3 million gun owners who possess 3.5 firearms apiece. These are conservative (government) figures. For sake of argument an average value of these guns (replacement cost today) can be set at $500 each. Out with the calculators, or if you are from my age group, do it in your head. The answer is five and a quarter billion dollars! Now add the value of all other assets that will become worthless if firearms are confiscated; hunting cabins, ATVs, hand loading equipment, scopes, tree stands, camo clothing and all the other things that gun owners/hunters have purchased over the years. It takes no imagination to arrive at a figure of ten billion dollars gone into the trash can.
Half of those assets, five thousand million dollars, belong to the female half.
Now why on earth would any sane woman support gun control? Maybe this is a rare case of the ladies of this country losing sight of property values! And if the statistics in those of the American States that do not allow concealed carry are to be believed, the fear that Canadian city women now have of the night streets or even a walk in the park will get a hell of a lot worse. Why would any sane woman vote for that?
Oh, I forgot! All you need do is to dial 911 and the constabulary will rush to the scene and rescue you from the armed crook or rapist. If you believe that you probably still believe in the tooth fairy!
No, ladies, gun control, which is hysterically promoted by the same people that support the United Nations planned ban of all small arms, will leave you poorer and terribly vulnerable. If you like”poor and vulnerable”, then support gun control.
Or be rid of that fear in an instant – join the Morning Glory Rebellion. We are doing something positive to protect YOU and YOUR PROPERTY along with man’s historical right to hunt and his duty to protect his family. By using the Internet we are doing it virtually free of cost. We are using a political party to achieve our aim – the repeal of Bill C 68. Read more about the Morning Glory Rebellion.

Where Did the MGR Concept Come From?
The MGR was conceived after a study was made of the election results of all 308 Ridings in the 2006 Federal Election. This study was done to seek a strategy whereby the approximately three million lawful gun owners could exert effective political pressure to have Bill C 68 repealed. Once the details were transferred to an Excel spreadsheet some important facts became very evident.
Firstly, in a large number of Ridings the winner squeaked in with a very small margin. Secondly, many of these marginal winners were first time candidates. Thirdly, in many Ridings that were won with small majorities by CPC candidates, , the Green Party had gained an unusually high percentage of the vote. This was not explained by the Green candidate being particularly popular, especially in the previous election.
The following twelve CPC candidates were noteworthy in that the Green Party received more than twice the national average (3.7%) of Green votes in their Ridings.. The Green percentage appears in brackets behind each MP’s name. Anders (10.3%) Cannan (8.0%), Clement (8%), Day (7.6%), Harper (7.7%), Lunn (9.9%), Miller (12.9%), Prentice (11.8%), Richardson (11,7%), Tilson (10.0%), Thompson (10.8%) and Zeisman (11.3%).
It was concluded that many otherwise loyal CPC voters were unhappy with their CPC Candidate, and being unwilling to switch to another of the major parties, decided to ‘park’ their vote as a protest. Unpopular candidates of other parties appeared to suffer the same fate.
It became immediately apparent that any sizeable increase in the Green vote at the next election might upset the applecart in about 30 Ridings and make it impossible to estimate the overall result. Another obvious implication is that an unexpected increase in ‘parked’ Green votes would result in another minority for the Harper gang. That in turn would probably see the end of both Harper and Dion, and maybe Layton too. Because the supporters of the MGR do not trust Harper to repeal C 68 if he should get a majority, this result would be exactly what we want. Such an obvious result should also give heart to many Canadians who have come to believe “there is nothing we can do”. The very fact that our vote is secret should encourage many gun owners of uncertain determination to secretly vote for the Green candidate. No one need ever know. Therein lies our strength.
We can never estimate how much effect the MGR will have and neither can anyone else!
Before a word was spoken about the Morning Glory Rebellion all possible contingent results were investigated, including a major upsurge of Green votes to as many as 10,000 in each Riding. The most severe outcome would be an even more unpredictable upset but with the CPC still getting only a shaky minority. A Green candidate would need to gain about 25,000 votes in any given Riding to win a seat and this was considered to be highly unlikely. And even if the Green Party did win 2 or 3 seats nothing would change in Ottawa as a result. And if the majority of pro Green voters were Party members and also held hunting licences, who would control the Green Party?
Summary. 1) Parking one’s vote temporarily is a frequent and age-old tactic of otherwise loyal party members. 2) During elections where there are many Ridings with unpredictable outcomes, (Election 2006), such ‘parking’ of one’s vote can have a severe effect. The real impact on sitting Members can be lost of seat, end of political career, loss of pension, etc. 3) With the present (December 2007) uncertainty for all political parties the mere existence of such a movement as the Morning Glory Rebellion can have a major effect, with relatively few votes and THIS WILL ALREADY BE OBVIOUS TO THE BACK ROOM PLANNERS OF ALL PARTIES. It is worthwhile to note that our Morning Glory plan will only work in a “First past the post” electoral system.
Because of the smoke and mirrors obscurity of Canadian politics, none dare mention the ‘R’(rebel)word. Many MPs and several newspaper editors know about the MGR but not a peep do we hear. Are they afraid that the MGR might gain momentum if there was any public discussion?
Good! Because sooner or later a bold editor is going to ‘expose’ us and the cat will truly be loose amongst the pigeons. It would suit our purposes fine if it occurred just before the election is called.
All we seek is the repeal of C 68 and thus the de-criminalization of several million very good and loyal citizens and freedom from the fear of total firearms confiscation. And we do not wish to wait while our elected employees in Ottawa play endlessly with our reputations, our honour, our private property and our money.
Many minor questions were covered in earlier MGR messages that were distributed by email. Comments on this Website will no doubt precipitate further discussion of all the relevant facets of the Morning Glory Rebellion.

Firstly, in a large number of Ridings the winner squeaked in with a very small margin. Secondly, many of these marginal winners were first time candidates. Thirdly, in many Ridings that were won with small majorities by CPC candidates, , the Green Party had gained an unusually high percentage of the vote. This was not explained by the Green candidate being particularly popular, especially in the previous election.
The following twelve CPC candidates were noteworthy in that the Green Party received more than twice the national average (3.7%) of Green votes in their Ridings.. The Green percentage appears in brackets behind each MP’s name. Anders (10.3%) Cannan (8.0%), Clement (8%), Day (7.6%), Harper (7.7%), Lunn (9.9%), Miller (12.9%), Prentice (11.8%), Richardson (11,7%), Tilson (10.0%), Thompson (10.8%) and Zeisman (11.3%).
It was concluded that many otherwise loyal CPC voters were unhappy with their CPC Candidate, and being unwilling to switch to another of the major parties, decided to ‘park’ their vote as a protest. Unpopular candidates of other parties appeared to suffer the same fate.
It became immediately apparent that any sizeable increase in the Green vote at the next election might upset the applecart in about 30 Ridings and make it impossible to estimate the overall result. Another obvious implication is that an unexpected increase in ‘parked’ Green votes would result in another minority for the Harper gang. That in turn would probably see the end of both Harper and Dion, and maybe Layton too. Because the supporters of the MGR do not trust Harper to repeal C 68 if he should get a majority, this result would be exactly what we want. Such an obvious result should also give heart to many Canadians who have come to believe “there is nothing we can do”. The very fact that our vote is secret should encourage many gun owners of uncertain determination to secretly vote for the Green candidate. No one need ever know. Therein lies our strength.
We can never estimate how much effect the MGR will have and neither can anyone else!
Before a word was spoken about the Morning Glory Rebellion all possible contingent results were investigated, including a major upsurge of Green votes to as many as 10,000 in each Riding. The most severe outcome would be an even more unpredictable upset but with the CPC still getting only a shaky minority. A Green candidate would need to gain about 25,000 votes in any given Riding to win a seat and this was considered to be highly unlikely. And even if the Green Party did win 2 or 3 seats nothing would change in Ottawa as a result. And if the majority of pro Green voters were Party members and also held hunting licences, who would control the Green Party?
Summary. 1) Parking one’s vote temporarily is a frequent and age-old tactic of otherwise loyal party members. 2) During elections where there are many Ridings with unpredictable outcomes, (Election 2006), such ‘parking’ of one’s vote can have a severe effect. The real impact on sitting Members can be lost of seat, end of political career, loss of pension, etc. 3) With the present (December 2007) uncertainty for all political parties the mere existence of such a movement as the Morning Glory Rebellion can have a major effect, with relatively few votes and THIS WILL ALREADY BE OBVIOUS TO THE BACK ROOM PLANNERS OF ALL PARTIES. It is worthwhile to note that our Morning Glory plan will only work in a “First past the post” electoral system.
Because of the smoke and mirrors obscurity of Canadian politics, none dare mention the ‘R’(rebel)word. Many MPs and several newspaper editors know about the MGR but not a peep do we hear. Are they afraid that the MGR might gain momentum if there was any public discussion?
