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.   About
