"Global Warming or Global Governance"
Contrary to what is heard in the media, there is overwhelming evidence that the warming we are experiencing is natural, with maybe a small amount contributed by activities. Nor is there any scientific consensus. Interviews of climate scientists and biologists from numerous sources who explain, step by step, why Al Gore
and the global warming alarmists are incorrect. The global warming agenda is being funded as a mechanism to create global governance. Every citizen of the world, needs to hear the other side of the global warming story.

On April 16th at 7.00pm in the Library Basement NCES is presenting an evening about Neighbourhood Associations with guest speaker Allan Neilson-Welch (M.A. Public Administration)
This meeting will inform us about neighbourhood associations and how we can use them to participate more in our own local government.
As far as I know this has never been done before in Nelson and is great opportunity to improve our rather archaic system of local government anf set an example for other communities to do the same.
We hope to see you and your friends there.

Yours truly, Anthony Hill and the NCES committee.

Premier Campbell is giving a speech early Friday morning, April 18, at the Prestige Inn to the Local Government Conference.Everyone who has concerns about the privatization of our water for hydro developments can express themselves at the Rally.

Can you spare one hour of your morning to help save 40 Kootenay Ecosystems?

The free flow of our water will be destroyed, our hydro prices will go up and our energy security will go down. All of this so corporations can make profits. Now is the time. It will never get easier to "Reclaim our Power"!
We have much to lose and nothing to gain. Bring everyone you know plus a sign.If possible register at publicpowernow@yahoo.ca
