Robocall misdirection campaigns are a threat to Canadian Democracy.  Please email your Member of Parliament and ask him or her to take all necessary steps to investigate and prevent future assaults on our democratic freedom. The federal government web site linked below will provide your MP email address by entering your postal code. I have also attached below, as an example, the letter I have just emailed to the MP for Fredericton where I live.  This is serious.


Find Your Member of Parliament Email Address

ASHFIELD, The Hon. Keith, P.C. 

Dear Mr. Ashfield

I have the privilege of living in the Nashwaaksis area of the Fredericton riding which you represent in the House of Commons.   I enjoy the many advantages that accrue simply by being a citizen of Canada, the most fundamental of which is our truly democratic system of government.  Our democracy is more than a privilege, more than a right, even more than a set of Constitutional principles.  It is who we are as Canadians.  The recent news that an organized campaign of  misdirection, of "robocalls",  by which many Canadians were intentionally sent to the wrong polling station depriving some of the opportunity  to vote in the last federal election, the "robocall" campaign,   is the most serious threat to Canadian democracy that I have ever seen.

I hope that you, as our Fredericton Member of Parliament, and  a member of the current government are taking seriously this threat to Canadian democracy. This is not about a particular political party or the political fortunes of individual political candidates.  This is about our democratic values and ultimately about whether we choose to live as free people. 

I ask that you:

1)  take all necessary steps to ensure that our federal government holds a judicial inquiry into the "robocall" campaign, 
2)  examine any potential harm to Canadian democracy that has result from the "robocall" campaign, 
3)  take steps, including passing appropriate legislation to quash future such threats to Canadian democracy;
4)  to punish all those responsible for the recently reported "robocall" campaign.

Respectfully,

Harold L Doherty

Fredericton, New Brunswick, E3A 1T1

Maybe you know someone who is chemically sensitive and gets sick from perfume or other common chemicals. Don’t mistakenly think your body is strong enough to handle it because you are getting sick, just much more slowly. You see, people with chemical sensitivities are not allergic to chemicals. They are having a reaction to poison. [...]

Autism, Intellectual Disability & Environment: Children of Immigrants in Sweden At Greater Risk of Developing Autism with Intellectual Disability

February 29, 2012 · Comments Off


Swedish Flag by Matti Mattila 

A major Swedish study offers uncomfortable news to the DSM-5 team trying to pretend there is no relationship between autism and the intellectual disability which affects the vast majority of those with classic Autistic Disorder. It will also be disconcerting  to those who devoutly believe that autism is 100% genetic. The study finds that children born of immigrants to Sweden had an increased risk of developing autism with intellectual disability. The study authors also conclude that autism is governed by environmental as well as genetic factors:

A major register study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet shows that children born to certain groups of immigrants in Sweden had an increased risk of developing autism with intellectual disability. The study includes all children in Stockholm County from 2001 to 2007, and brings the question of the heredity of autism to the fore.

"This is an intriguing discovery, in which we can see strong links between a certain kind of autism and the time of the mother's immigration to Sweden," says principal investigator Cecilia Magnusson, Associate Professor of epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet. "The study is important, as it shows that autism isn't governed only by genetic causes but by environmental factors too."

The study, which is published in the scientific periodical The British Journal of Psychiatry shows that children of immigrant parents, particularly from countries of low human development, are disproportionately likely to develop autism with intellectual disability, a connection that appears to be related to the timing of migration rather than complications in childbirth. Children, whose mothers migrated just before or during pregnancy, ran the highest risk of all.

"At this juncture we can but speculate about the causes, but our assumption is that environmental factors impacting on the developing fetus, such as stress, new dietary habits or infections, could lead to the development of autism with intellectual disability," says Dr Magnusson.
