Petitions presented in Ontario legislature – Part 7
Our petition was presented on March 7, 2022 – see Part 6.
I note that relevant, rights-oriented petitions were presented on October 20, 2021:
Fitness facilities
Mr. Rick Nicholls: I have a petition here to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
“Whereas healthy Ontarians reduce the burden on Ontario’s health care system at large;
“Whereas proactive, preventative measures are integral to improving and maintaining optimal health;
“Whereas reducing the risk of the following, but not limited to:
“—Heart disease;
“—Stroke;
“—Obesity;
“—Diabetes;
“—Osteoporosis;
“—High cholesterol hypertension;
“—Inflammation;
“—Cognitive decline;
“—Metabolic syndrome;
“—Chronic degenerative disease;
“These list exercise as foundational to the reduction of risk;
“Whereas gyms have never been cleaner or more hygienic by both patrons and staff, with adherence to the protocols of wiping down equipment, wearing masks and social distancing;
“Whereas exercise is foundational to the reduction of risk;
“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
“(1) To revoke the Ontario vaccine passport mandate with regards to gyms; and
“(2) allow indiscriminate entry to gyms by all patrons and members to exercise for good health.”
I wholeheartedly approve of this petition, will sign it and give it to one of our pages.
Note that these mandates (above and below) have been lifted or loosened (less restrictive) in Ontario (February and March) according to news reports like this: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/most-of-ontario-covid-19-restrictions-are-lifting-in-march-here-s-what-you-need-to-know-1.5798328.
I trust these announcements as far as I can throw them. Governments have already established the precedent in peoples’ minds of setting dictatorial measures based on their lame stories. Governments are considered like the weather now. They just command whatever they want whenever they feel like–with some scary-sounding excuse–and the corrupt media leads the public (supposedly) to accept that.
My interest in this post is in documenting opposition–which is more important. We need more opposition.
Places of religious worship
Mr. Rick Nicholls: “To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
“Whereas places of worship provide essential spiritual, emotional, and mental health services to help combat depression, anxiety, fear, and other mental health disorders;
“Whereas gatherings at places of worship is essential, spiritual nourishment for the faithful;
“Whereas places of worship are important for good health and well-being for those in search of the truth;
“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
“(1) Designate places of worship as essential during any COVID-19 or variant health crisis causing lockdowns and/or stay-at-home orders provided places of worship follow Ontario guidelines to ensure the health and safety of staff and those attending worship services;
“(2) Expand places of worship capacity as soon as it is safe to do so.”
I wholeheartedly approve of this petition. I will sign it and give it to a page.
This petition was also presented on October 5, and in June.
Of course, I know already that most MPPs have been censoring and ignoring concerns from their constituents. In my MPP’s last email to me, he pretended that he didn’t understand my concerns about vaccine mandates, and recited the Orwellian slogan about them. The media plays the same game also.
Who knows how many thousands of emails Canadians have sent to politicians that have been ignored! It is incredible how committed most of these politicians are to this coup against constitutional rights and freedoms, and against the right of bodily autonomy.
The truckers’ freedom convoy in Ottawa shifted the position of most federal Conservative Party MPs as well as one or two Liberal MPs.
Conclusion: People need to inform everyone they can, including officials of all kinds, about the truth, what is really going on, what has been done to us.
A small part of that includes sharing and sending in more petitions to MPPs willing to read them. You may have noticed how often optometry petitions are presented for example. Why not share the anti-vaccination mandates petition with everyone you can think of and send it in yourself?
If you don’t live in Ontario, why not adapt it for your province or for the federal Parliament?
