A two-hour meeting, entitled 'The Solution to Globalism is Localism,' will be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 7 PM to 9 PM at the Rankin Culture and Recreation Centre in Pembroke, Ontario.
A discussion of the ways in which the United Nations goals are breaking municipal laws and violating property rights will be held later this month.
The two-hour meeting, entitled “The Solution to Globalism is Localism,” will be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 7 PM to 9 PM at the Rankin Culture and Recreation Centre in Pembroke, Ontario. Attendees will be addressed by both Maggie Hope Braun, the founder of Kicking International Council out of Local Environmental Initiatives (KICLEI), and Donna Burns, a vice president of the Ontario Landowners’ Association.
Maggie Hope Braun told LifeSiteNews via email that the meeting will address how global agendas, “particularly UN climate initiatives” are reshaping municipal priorities and policies across Canada.
“One of the primary goals of our localism initiative is to empower municipalities to make decisions based on the unique needs and values of their communities, rather than implementing one-size-fits-all global mandates,” Braun wrote. “By discussing key concerns diplomatically and openly, we hope to encourage greater transparency and foster a renewed focus on community-based priorities, underscoring the importance of strategic civic engagement at the local level.”
Braun is particularly concerned about local governments feeling pressured to adopt policies set by international organizations rather than responding to local priorities.
“Programs aligned with UN climate goals often come with strings attached, especially regarding federal funding, which can compel municipalities to follow UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to access resources,” she wrote. “This reliance can dilute local autonomy, making it difficult for municipalities to allocate budgets according to their own needs, as funding is often tied to specific climate-related expenditures—like electric fleets—that may not suit every community’s practical or economic realities.”
She added that these programs often introduce costly mandates, increase taxes, and, in some cases, affect privacy through the use of data-monitoring smart technologies, all of which can strain communities financially and socially. Continue…
