Hours Bank Canada Public Social Insurance Across the Generations Defending your Charter rights to life, liberty and security of the person
Hi. I’m Dr. David Teertstra, a professional
scientist working with the top minds on the planet to
turn things around and protect the lives of this
generation. I contribute to the body of knowledge that
makes up the IPCC report on the state of the world
and the grim circumstances we face. I am a realist
who grew up in a family of social workers. My main
work is in the basis of medicine on a project critical to
national security. Which will not matter in the
slightest if we do not turn things around.
After being called in 2017 to address this most
critical issue of our dying planet and what we can do
about the forces driving its destruction, I set aside
scientific work critical to our economy and future to
become expert in constitutional law and practical legal
use of top Canadian law to allow self-determination of
our future by existing rights and freedoms.
I am fully dedicated to the defence of the lives of
this generation of Canadian kids. I am not a protester
but aim to act by directly tackling the issues and
creating caring low-carbon green alternatives.
I regard the World Scientists’ Warning to
Humanity as the most important document in world
history, for it outlines the fate of this generation of
Canadian children. I regard the Canadian Constitution
and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms as critical to
defending our lives, for it describes what you are free
to do in defense of your life. I regard the Speech From
the Throne as a legal document directing our
politicians as to the actions they must take at risk of
consequence. I regard your personal experience of life
in Canada as critical to understanding what is
happening.
I am focused on doing what is needed to tackle the
most urgent crisis ever to face humanity. It’s not just
climate change. It’s farms, forests, fisheries and lives
worn thin. It’s about an unfair, unaffordable life,
permanent lifetime debt for essential needs, having no
way out. It’s about the grim future our kids face.
What is worth living for? What is worth dying
for? For many of us, we already know the answer. Our
children. As caring parents, this is not the world we
want for our kids. There is no force on the planet
greater than caring parents acting in strength and
wisdom to defend the future for their children.
Here, I call on all people with strength and spirit,
brains and backbone, to know yourselves not as weak
and helpless, but as defenders of life. Now is the time
for you to use all you know in care for others and the
ecosystems that sustain our lives as the sole basis of our
economy. You have the right to life, and all that entails.
It’s in our Constitution.
Canada has a long history of preferring pen over
sword. We saw a bloody civil war south of the border
and chose to confederate peacefully over time. As other
countries fell into ethnic or religious conflict, we chose
to create a respectful multicultural society.
But we are in grave danger. The situation is like
knowing we have not planted enough wheat to make it
through the winter. In Canada and around the globe, we
have pushed the ecosystems that support our lives to
the limit. Many of us already struggle to meet essential
human needs. We need to go green quickly, finding the
best ways to relate to others and the ecosystems that
support our lives. I created the Hours Bank to do just
that.
Dr. David Teertstra
I ask you to consider what we share in common and where we
are going as a community, as a planet, as caring parents. I am are
guided by the World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity, the drive
away from war-like attitudes as summarized in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, the Canadian Charter of Rights
and Freedoms, and the practical to-do list of the latest IPCC
report. I work with anyone guided by the fundamentals of care
and love expressed in families struggling, especially anyone
struggling to make ends meet. I too have had my life damaged
and crippled by the bankers’ war on humanity. In defense of the
vulnerable, I am guided by law based firmly in fact and reality,
and by the human spirit to transcend circumstances.
I hold the defense of vulnerable people including children and grandparents in highest regard. I speak and take
action only on matters with a defensible basis in fact, reality and the foundations of law (meaning Charter Section 1
law). I prioritize essential human needs over wants. I defend care for people and the ecosystems that sustain our lives
as the sole basis of our economy. I will put my life on the line to protect and defend this generation of young
Canadians.
I work only with practical plans to defend the lives of young Canadians, specifically by using Section 7 of our
Charter to do real and needed work in each area of life security. Work. Food. Housing, Communications. Energy.
Transportation. Food security. Tree planting and so on.
Every day we do not act, our odds of survival diminish. The Hours Bank is one tools of action you are welcome
to use to bravely tackle this greatest mission to ever face humanity, the survival of this generation.
