UN Pancakes and Belgian Waffles recommended as "food security" for Canadians

The audacity of the UN to even think that Canada needs to look at a "food security program" for Canadians is galling to say the least. These UN nitwits pick on a country that sends billions of dollars in aid to countries in the continent of Africa and elsewhere and our quota of aid is a hundred-fold more than some of the oil-rich countries.

How does the UN measure "food security"?   What new madness is this from the UN loons?  Does the UN have any right to come to Canada and tell us that some of us are obese because the Canadian govt is not giving us the right kind of food?

What if I prefer to live off beer and potato chips?  Is the UN now saying that that is "food insecurity" and that the govt. of Canada should intevene in my food and liquid intake and force me to eat juicy steaks with mineral water?  What exactly is this Belgian waffle proposing.  What a pompous fool ... but then we should be used to the nitwits from the UN by now.

Let this insult to Canada and an insult to the entire citizenry of this country  be a lesson that PM Harper takes to heart and reduce drastically the aid that the UN gets from us and instead use that same money to better our "food security system" that they want us to do.  Let's use that money to give each and every Canadian free coupons to the kind of food that the UN proposes is the "right kind of intake" for Canadians. 

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney lashed out Wednesday at a United Nations envoy who is in Canada investigating food insecurity, and recently accused the country of having a self-righteous attitude.

Kenney suggested Olivier De Schutter, the UN's rapporteur on the right to food, is wasting his time and the UN's resources by spending 11 days here looking into Canada's food situation.

"It would be our hope that the contributions we make to the United Nations are used to help starving people in developing countries, not to give lectures to wealthy and developed countries like Canada and I think this is a discredit to the United Nations," Kenney said.

According to the UN's own figures, Canada is the sixth-ranked country on the World Social Development Index, and sends billion of dollars in food aid to the developing world each year, Kenney said.....

...Kenney was also asked why no Conservative cabinet ministers have met with De Schutter during his trip. Kenney responded that the trip was nothing more than a "political mission" and repeated his position that the UN was out of line by investigating Canada.

"Our country is one of the world leaders in providing development assistance to developing countries where there are starving populations, people in need of food," Kenney said.

"We think the UN (World) Food Program should focus its efforts on those countries where there is widespread hunger, widespread material poverty and not get into political exercises in developed democracies like Canada." .....



...Francis Alexis, former chief of the Alexis First Nation, agrees. He says with less land to hunt and fish on, and fewer animals on that land, many Aboriginal people in Alberta are forced to eat cheap, processed food.

“Our diet has changed. Our way of life has changed and the environment has changed,” Alexis said....

Yup ... their diet has changed all right !! Now with all the money they get from the generous Canadian govt. they can buy a whole lot more of fire water.

“In Canada we have about 900,000 households that are food insecure,” he said. “And we have one million status First Nations people who are in a very dire situation.”

De Schutter says income inequality is a big issue in Canada and is getting worse. That leaves many people without the means to afford healthy food, instead relying on cheap processed foods that lack the same nutritional value.....

Has this Belgian waffle glanced at the data for African countries???  What this envoy is doing in Canada is nothing short of  blackmail because the owners of the UN, the Saudi Arabian multi-billionaires want to suppress Canada's oil output.  The bottom line of all this nonsense is to put restrictions on the mining and oil industry in Canada. Nothing but.   Read the entire article and you will arrive at the same conclusion that I have.  Nothing is what it seems.  When it comes to the UN always look for how whatever it is they recommend or demand,  will somehow benefit the middle east oil market.  No, I am not a lunatic.  All you have to do is connect the dots and you will see it too.

....De Schutter's fact-finding mission also takes him to Quebec and Ontario, after which he will submit his final report to the UN Human Rights Council in 2014. He hopes his findings will encourage federal and provincial governments to take a hard look at the options available on reserves.

Francis Alexis says that change can’t come soon enough - and hopes that Aboriginal people will have a say in any changes....
