30-31,&nbsp;2021, twenty of&nbsp;the world\u2019s most prominent heads of state gathered in Italy to discuss new global governance&nbsp;measures.&nbsp;&nbsp;The question at-hand is simply this\u2014is the G-20 and its global governance project killing&nbsp;democracy around the globe?&nbsp; According to David Welch, &#8220;G-20 summits often yield numerous policies, laws, and&nbsp;regulations that improve the lives of&nbsp;billions of people.&#8221;&nbsp; In fact, the University of Toronto\u2019s G-20 Research&nbsp;Group \u201ctracks 23 issue areas and has found that&nbsp;an average G-20 summit&nbsp;generates 194 tangible, measurable commitments, with an average compliance rate&nbsp;of 71% after all is said and done.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp; This&nbsp;is truly remarkable, not least because, per their website, \u201cthe G-20 represents 80% of the world\u2019s&nbsp;economic&nbsp;activity, 75% of global&nbsp;trade, and directly governs 60% of the world&#8217;s population.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it is not an overstatement to say that the G-20 dominates the entire world.&nbsp; And indeed, global&nbsp;governance is its express purpose, as their website explicitly notes.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;However, an unfortunate result of this aspiration for global governance is the abrogation of national sovereignty for independent nations around&nbsp;the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each individual&nbsp;member&nbsp;of the G-20 is elected, with Canada being one elected member&nbsp;one out&nbsp;of twenty\u2014but that is hardly democratic&nbsp;representation.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is impossible for this sole Canadian to&nbsp;assert any notion of national sovereignty when dominated by nineteen&nbsp;other votes,&nbsp;none of whom Canadians&nbsp;voted for.&nbsp;&nbsp;The result is significant, as people who&nbsp;are not elected by Canadians ultimately govern Canadians.&nbsp; When related to financial decisions, this results in what is commonly known as&nbsp;\u2018taxation without representation,\u2019\u2014i.e., what recently occurred when the G-20 established minimum&nbsp;taxation rates.&nbsp; Moreover, they have promulgated an entire global&nbsp;taxation system built upon this foundational framework.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It would do us well to recall history and learn from it.&nbsp; The&nbsp;American Revolution began with a rallying cry\u2014\u2018no taxation without representation\u2019\u2014coined by Samuel Adams who oversaw a group known as the Sons of Liberty.&nbsp; As you well know, this was because King George was imposing taxes on the&nbsp;colonial Americans without granting them representation in British Parliament.&nbsp;&nbsp;The most famous of these taxes was&nbsp;imposed on imported British tea, which led to the Boston Tea Party.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, in the&nbsp;present day the aims of the G-20 extend far beyond controlling taxes on a global&nbsp;scale.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to taxes, the G-20 determines global interest rates,&nbsp;inclusive of individual interest rates of its members.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result, interest rates have been reduced to&nbsp;virtually zero.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately, each&nbsp;member country is independently unable to significantly change these interest rates.&nbsp;&nbsp;This decision was made at the first real&nbsp;G-20 summit in Washington D.C. on November 15, 2008.&nbsp; Here, the G-20 explicitly decided that the world was going to be molded by Keynesian economics.&nbsp;&nbsp;The 2008 economic crisis afforded this powerful group the opportunity to assert their economic&nbsp;intentions on a global scale.&nbsp; What they ultimately chose to do was borrow approximately $7 trillion dollars against future&nbsp;income and spread it around like candy to ostensibly bolster the depressed economy of the day.&nbsp; Another American hero, Thomas&nbsp;Jefferson, sought to ban this type of practice, dubbing it intergenerational theft.&nbsp; Jefferson rightly recognized that borrowing money against future income&nbsp;results in&nbsp;future&nbsp;generations\u2014i.e., people who are not even born yet\u2014having to repay&nbsp;the debt of their forefathers.<\/p>\n<p>Up until March 2020, democracy&nbsp;movements&nbsp;around the world&nbsp;opposing globalism were increasing in intensity.&nbsp; Brexit occurred\u2014that is, the U.K. left the globalist control of the European Union.&nbsp; There was the wild United States President Donald&nbsp;Trump, a man who could not be controlled by globalist entities.&nbsp; Additionally, Hong Kong\u2019s experienced weekly massive protests where&nbsp;millions of people demanded freedom and democracy.&nbsp; While mainstream media rarely covered the Moroccan protests, between 800,000-1 million people marched every Saturday for eight months pleading for&nbsp;a truly&nbsp;democratic and representative government.&nbsp; To be sure, these are&nbsp;just some of the more memorable&nbsp;movements.&nbsp; In actuality,&nbsp;many others&nbsp;sprung up across the globe.&nbsp;&nbsp;Populism, which is directly related to fostering democracy,&nbsp;was on the rise.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, all these movements collectively evaporated on March 16, 2020, when the G-20, through its powerful&nbsp;G-7 subgroup, gathered in&nbsp;a virtual summit and&nbsp;voted to shut down the world\u2019s economy the following day.&nbsp;&nbsp;Everything ground to a screeching halt on a global scale,&nbsp;including&nbsp;these movements seeking freedom and democracy.&nbsp;&nbsp;The G-20 reasserted itself through this deceitful maneuver, re-gaining its power, and even garnering new abilities, such as powers to lockdown people in their homes and remove the rights and freedoms of citizens,&nbsp;<em>even from those people living in already democratic countries.<br><\/em><br>A shocking fact that many are unaware of is that the G-20 was started by Canada.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are well-acquainted with the running joke&nbsp;about Canada invading&nbsp;America.&nbsp; However, it appears as though Canada aimed much higher than just&nbsp;America\u2014instead, by moving towards global governance,&nbsp;they are unironically seeking global domination.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is indeed possible because the G-20 is a Canadian-made construct. &nbsp;&nbsp;According to Dr. John Kirton of the University&nbsp;of Toronto, \u201cCanada has been the successful&nbsp;entrepreneurial conceiver,&nbsp;co-creator, and normative policy shaper of the G20 since its inception.&nbsp; Under Paul Martin, Canada&nbsp;invented the&nbsp;concept and mission of the G20, co-creating it as a finance ministerial forum&nbsp;in 1999.&nbsp; Under Stephen Harper in 2008, Canada supported its elevation to becoming a full-fledged summit.&nbsp; In 2018, Canada hosted the G-20, which led to numerous important policy outcomes.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When freedom is placed on the back burner,&nbsp;democracy&nbsp;is threatened.&nbsp; Today, people are&nbsp;losing their jobs,&nbsp;their ability to travel, their protections under the Bill of&nbsp;Rights, and other essential constitutional guarantees. National sovereignty has&nbsp;been quashed for the \u2018greater good\u2019 of global governance.&nbsp;&nbsp;The G-20 has asserted global&nbsp;supremacy and as a result,&nbsp;democracy suffers.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> &nbsp;Welch, David. &#8220;Are G20 Summits worth It?&#8221; The Global Governance Project.
