In an April 21 video interview with U.K. member of Parliament George Galloway, Macgregor gave a blunt and shocking answer.
“We have a government that consists of 525 lobbyists – and that’s why we have the policies we have.”
His full remarks open the video with a searing assessment of the level of corruption in the United States government:
I would currently say that we have a government that consists of 525 lobbyists as opposed to representatives – people who are all busy lobbying for money with which they can line their pockets. Now some of them are just ignorant … some are destructive … but all of them, I’m afraid, with very few exceptions, are bought men.

According to the Grain Growers of Canada, between 1997 and 2017, grain farmers surpassed the entire economy in reducing emission intensity. Emission intensity measures a farmer’s emission output relative to the production of a single bushel.

Read MoreIt is painful and even frightening to watch America’s decline, to see its power and prestige wither away and the world become a more dangerous place. With Canada’s military disintegrating and our current government neglecting national defence, it’s logical to wonder and worry about which country might step up to become the next global superpower.
Those on the left may see America’s decline as its rightful comeuppance – the price it is finally paying for its imperialism, greed, and economic and military bullying. But those who understand the good it has done realize t

Read MoreNew condo sales in the Toronto region dropped to their lowest level since the 2009 financial crisis, with investors balking at lofty purchase prices and higher borrowing costs.
The slowdown has imperilled the construction of homes at a time when governments are trying to spur more building in a bid to make housing more affordable. The cost of housing is out of reach for many Canadian residents with the average monthly rent around $2,000 and the typical home selling for more than $700,000. The pace of home building needs to accelerate to meet the demand of a growing population. But the staggering drop in new condo sales will lead to less investment in housing.
There were 1,461 new condo sales in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in the first quarter of the year, according to industry research firm Urbanation Inc. That marked the lowest quarterly amount since early 2009, when the world was reeling from the U.S. housing meltdown and global recession.
“It is dead. I would never use words like this, but I am because it is true,” said Simeon Papailias, managing partner with real estate brokerage REC Canada, whose firm sells new condos, also known as preconstruction condos because they have not been built yet.

This week, council will be in the middle of a fireworks display ignited by Calgarians who are concerned about the city’s proposal to introduce new zoning rules that will eliminate areas that are zoned for only single-family homes and open them up for the construction of row houses and multi-plex homes.

Multilateral benefit-sharing from digital sequence information will support both science and biodiversity conservation
Part of the Technocratic Globalist Transhumanist Agenda is to digitize all life on earth. This genetic sequencing project is part of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 abomination by the United Nations, World Economic Forum that serves the corporate biotechnology and Big Pharma interests – of course promoted by the academic sector that is funded by the corporations who then profit by the science.
This is the website:
Digital sequence information on genetic resources
The point of such an open digital gene sequence library is the easy access of biotechnology technocrats and synthetic biology sectors to monitor and control all resources on earth and modify them. Its free because it cannot be patented, but as soon as they modify it, they can patent the sequence and profit mightily.

Read MoreThis presentation was inspired by a recent substack article from Dr. Jessica Rose entitled “36 million dollars set aside for vaccine injuries for the next 2 years in Canada” (see link: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/36-million-dollars-set-aside-for ). From the article : “In addition to the vaccine injuries allocation of Canadian taxpayer dollars, the first thing I noticed is in the ‘Housing Accelerator Agreements’ section on page 46, Table 1.1. I am not sure why these particular numbers caught my eye, but look at the difference in allocation between Ottawa, ON and Victoria, BC. If you break these numbers down by home, each home gets ~5,407.98$ in Ottawa, but only $2,060.77 in Victoria. I guess the building materials in Ottawa are more expensive, eh? You’ll also notice that ‘the Province of Quebec’ gets $900 million bucks with no house number allocated.”
The Canada Fairness for Every Generation Budget 2024 link is here : https://www.budget.canada.ca/2024/home-accueil-en.html#pdf . As per the Budget 2024 on page 45: In March 2023, the government launched the $4 billion Housing Accelerator Fund to work with municipalities to cut red tape and fast-track the creation of at least 100,000 new homes across Canada. Through 179 agreements signed to date, the government has committed nearly $4 billion to spur the construction of 750,000 new homes across the country over the next decade. Budget 2024 proposes to provide an additional $400 million over four years, starting in 2024-25, to the Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation, to top up the Housing Accelerator Fund. This will help fast track 12,000 new homes in the next three years.
