In both Canada and the U.S., our governments are betraying citizens with their long term partnerships with Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y). Below is a document by Jody Hilty, Y2Y President and Chief Scientist, that clearly outlines how both governments have been working with Y2Y, "...driven by a group of conservationists...", "...for a vision of a protected and connected Y2Y region". These partnerships are heavily embedded and why there is no response to citizens who object in both countries. Not only is it a violation of the Canadian Code of Ethics, but it is also a violation of the U.S. Constitution, both of which elected officials are sworn to uphold.

For those who have read the previous articles and are still unclear about the connectivity agenda, here is a short explanation. Land that is between protected areas such as national parks or wilderness areas, is considered "unprotected" land, the target of all environmental groups. All of the targeted areas for their conservation objectives have humans in the way so they describe every day normal activities as "threats", such as roads, OHV users, and development. What they describe as threats are nothing more than a ruse to take land use and development away from citizens, and it is happening in both Canada and the U.S.. Resource extraction such as logging, mining, or other activities used for our benefit are also targeted. But again, it is not about any of these things being a threat, all are being used as tools for further implementation of their connectivity agenda. Nova has an excellent short video you can watch that explains connectivity and what it means to ENGO/NGOs. It clearly states that land "outside of parks is the most important to protect". In the example they use across our countries, the Cabinet-Purcell Mountain Corridor (CPMC), Harvey Locke uses the Grizzly bear as the fabricated animal that needs its migratory path protected. They expect us to erase a boundary for a bear who has been traveling the same route since before Harvey was born. There is no threat, the bear is just the tool being used for taking land use away. These migratory paths are pursued for a "corridor" designation, and once that happens, they pursue the declaration of that area as needing "protection". Once land is placed in some type of protection, it is then used for "linkage" between protected areas, which is the connectivity piece, one protected land connected to another. While they claim they don't want to take over private land but rather want to work with land owners, the truth is they are rapidly buying land for conservation easements, and often times sell those to the governments. The easement is used for linkage. Mr. Locke mentions the Cabinet-Purcell Mountain Corridor. Both Candace Batackyi, Canada Y2Y Program Director and Kim Trotter, U.S. Y2Y Program Director are working on this project and the GNLCC sponsored a webinar where they talk about it. Everyone must learn about connectivity. If there is an area under attack for banned use or protection, it is easy to see on their maps what role that areas plays for their connectivity objective. Let them know you are aware of this objective, tell them you understand why they are targeting that area, they rarely discuss this aspect with the general public. It is always presented as protecting water, wildlife, or some other nonsense but challenge them on it, because it is the truth, and they count on you not knowing. While there is much consternation about ENGOs being funded by U.S. foundations, it was the Canadian government who chose to betray Canadians by joining the GNLCC, collaborate with ENGO/NGOs, enact policies that support ENGO objectives and goals, and the U.S. is just as guilty for their participation in all of this. In fact, Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) was a joint Canadian-U.S. effort (pg 895). The foundations and corporations which support these ENGO/NGOs are international, not necessarily specific to just the US. They have a goal of globalization, and are deliberate in ignoring sovereignty and boundaries. They are not funding Canada or the U.S., they are funding an agenda. In fact, this whole agenda is about erasing sovereign boundaries, putting both countries in the same dilemma. Both Canadian and American citizens are actually on the same side with our anger about this issue as we are both experiencing the ramifications from the same agenda. Let's put our anger where it belongs, on our governments, elitists, individuals, ENGO/NGOs, foundations, corporations, and globalists. In truth, this is what bonds us together, we are fighting the same enemies. That being said, this article will cover a couple of ENGO/NGOs in each of our countries that are operating with the same methods and goals, and how we are bound together by this activity. Canada The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, known as CPAWS is a Y2Y partner, as well as having partnerships with foundations and corporations. Along with Y2Y, CPAWS is also a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN-search Y2Y & CPAWS) which is a primary driver of environmentalism. The primary goal is locking up land in conservation from Yellowstone Park to the Yukon. In addition, CPAWS successfully engaged the Canadian government to create a National Advisory Panel whose purpose is to "...achieve our commitment under the International Convention on Biological Diversity...", another UN outfit, and includes Harvey Locke as a member who is a Y2Y co-founder and an IUCN member. Y2Y created the Alberta Headwaters Project, an "initiative" which is a standard Y2Y tactic, creating groups to give the appearance of citizen support but it is really a way in which to hide that it is a Y2Y activity. Another tactic is targeting land use planning for insertion of their conservation objectives, "leading the initiative to influence these land-use plans" as they are doing in the Alberta Headwaters. This will affect the entire Alberta Province, including the Bighorn. Love Your Headwaters (LYH) is another group targeting Alberta. The Castle and Bighorn are specific targets for conservation. LYH doesn't specifically name any staff or members, but rather is an entity of organizations. The Conservation Alliance is a collection of businesses that fund different conservation groups in both countries; Edmonton Community Foundation and Calgary Foundation which both help donors make decisions about where their funds go; Alberta Real Estate Foundation which has an environmental focus on water management issues; Royal Bank of Canada; and the Sitka Foundation. These wealthy, elite groups are Love Your Headwaters and the ones who most likely have a major influence over your government. USA Idaho in particular has much in common with Canada, as well as Montana. We share boundaries between our countries. Again, these groups are all Y2Y partners. The Heart of the Rockies (HOR) has an initiative called the High Divide Collaborative, which is a conglomeration of governments, businesses, NGOs, and land trusts. It is the goal of this initiative to do the same as in Canada, remove access and declare land for conservation including rivers. Forest management plan updates are used similarly as the land use plans in Canada, a way in which to insert their conservation objectives, with Y2Y behind the effort. Next door to the High Divide is the Greater Yellowstone Coalition (GYC). Their mission is the same as CPAWS, taking over land use with conservation efforts. Via its partner Y2Y, it is the goal of GYC and the High Divide to put all unprotected land between the two areas into conservation for connectivity purposes. Our Common Enemies These activities in turn provide connectivity to the Crown of the Continent (COC) which crosses the border into Canada, and Alberta. The Cabinet-Purcell Mountain Corridor (CPMC) is another Y2Y mission, again crossing our borders with the grizzly bear as the excuse for conservation. Listed here are some examples of how both governments are betraying us, proof that ENGO/NGOs are bonded with government, and sharing the same objectives. The betrayal of our governments needs to be exposed, who they are really working with, and validating why our voices are ignored, dismissed, and placated with manipulated language that we know gives a deceitful picture of the truth.
In East Kootenay there is a group called the Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP). More than just partners with Y2Y, Candace Batyck, the Y2Y B.C. and Yukon Program Director, sits on the board. Also on the board is Derek Petersen who works for Parks Canada and Ken Brock who works for the Protected Areas and Stewardship for Environment Canada’s Canadian Wildlife Service. In 2007, Canada and Montana signed an MOU with the Crown Manager's Partnership (CMP) to "...support CMP goals and strategic plan and...objectives". On the CMP leadership team are members of the US Forest Service, ENGO/NGOs, Canadian Forest Service members, and Megan Evans from Alberta Environment and Parks, who is also a subcommittee lead. But there are other Canadian & U.S. government members as well. What these groups call "trans-border or trans-boundary" are really a destruction of our national sovereignty by erasing our borders. By law, only the U.S. Senate can authorize agreements between countries, which was clearly violated in this case. Ian Dyson, Senior Manager, Provincial Planning Integration Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, now Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP), even participated in the 2015 GNLCC Connectivity Workshop (pg 8, 12). He has since been replaced by Rob Simieritsch. Mr. Simieritsch is also on the board of the Miistakis Institute. More on Rob later. Both governments coordinate their combined work through the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative, here is the list of those government agencies and other organizations who work together. This is why we are being ignored. The environmentalists, governments, elites and all the rest of them have their plans all laid out for us. These are just a few examples of how our governments work with these groups and it must be exposed and confronted. Both governments should be challenged to explain why they have joined these organizations and demands made to cease this activity, remove any individuals who participate in them, and instead represent the citizens who elected them. Let them know you are aware of their activity, put that activity for connectivity out there so they understand the larger plan for us is known, publish this knowledge so others can learn, file requests for information, and expose what they are doing. You see, our common enemy is Y2Y who has sub groups that are attacking both of us, and our governments who engage in and support their agenda. Y2Y has one goal for both of us, put as much land as possible into conservation, put all land under some type of protection so there is one long stretch of land over both our countries that will be regulated on how we can use it, garner millions of dollars in funding to do it, buddy up to our governments to get policies that support their objectives, and use their sub groups to distract us with local fights for our land use. It is happening in both countries. While there are many more groups that could be mentioned, understanding the larger picture is imperative. Our governments no longer represent either of us. Until this is exposed to the maximum, the bond between these groups and our governments, little headway will be made. This is what bonds us together as countries and we need to recognize that we both have the same passion to eliminate these groups, demand that our governments represent us, and support each other in our fights. |
