#PMHarperMustResign - TweetStorm Monday, May 20th, 2013
Greetings, concerned Canadians and global opponents to the Harper Government. We know how ridiculous and scandalous this excuse for a Government of Canada is. The most recent events concerning the Senate have only exacerbated the frustration and anger of average people everywhere. Enough of trumpeting openness and transparency while doing the exact opposite to Canadians and Canada.
On Victoria Day Monday May 20, 2013 you are invited to use this paste to draw tweets from for a twitterstorm to say that it is time for:
#PMHarperMustResign
There is no established start time for this public sourced action. Start as early as you like on Holiday Monday. Hopefully, we will become the top trend in Canada and maybe beyond if we get enough concerned people to hit the twittersphere at once. Any individuals that wish to coordinate launch times or times of peak activity, you are encouraged to do so. Twitter is a powerful social media platform and focused action has and will have effect. Following the finest Canadian tradition, we have no firm format. The tweets below have been compiled for ease of use and easier posting for the twitterstorm. Everyone is encouraged to use them or make your own. Please remember re-tweets do not factor in when Twitter calculates trends. Only tweets of first time posting count towards the trends. As long as it has the hashtag #PMHarperMustResign it will register. Of course, copy/paste of tweets in your stream also count. Let’s make some noise!

For demanding forensic audits of FN books while controlling the flow of money to begin with AND losing $3B+ himself #PMHarperMustResign
For instructing every Minister, MP and spokesperson to answer inquiries with the same hollow talking points #PMHarperMustResign
Because a $10M panda photo-op was more important than the #Nishiyuu Cree who walked 1600km to Ottawa #PMHarperMustResign
For trying to change over 30 separate Acts with one Omnibus bill after declaring such tatics un-democratic in opposition #PMHarperMustResign
For closing search and rescue facilities to save $800K while spending $30M+ on “Economic Action Plan” ads #PMHarperMustResign

Why has an Amber Alert not been called for missing 12 year old child?
FOUND !!! @OttawaPolice advised at 3 p.m. March 1st, 2013, Trinity Payash was found.
MISSING 12yo CHILD >> February 28th, 2012 2:30 p.m. from Ottawa, Ontario Canada
Ottawa Citizen Missing Child Notification
(Updated: March 1, 2012 at 8:30pm)
Twitter became abuzz 7 p.m. EST last night with news that a missing 12 year old aboriginal child could not be found in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Her name is Trinity Payash.
Original twitter notifications can be traced back to Ottawa Citizen reporters Meghan Hurley and Gary Dimmock. (I could not find any official and collaborating press release but because both profiles indicated they were working for a recognizable news source, I felt confident to RT (return) the Missing Child Alert.) Ms. Hurley wrote the article it was published sometime later that night.
Why was an Amber Alert not issued?
It is because she was missing before .
Only 6 months ago but in Thunder Bay, little Trinity tried to disappear. She was 11.
Since then, she had a birthday and now she lives in Ottawa. She is not in Thunder Bay anymore and as dangerous as a place that is, as reported by The National CBC "Living in Fear" less than 10 days ago. It is potentially safer than Ottawa - potentially safer than Montreal, a mere 2 hours away, an even more popular city for child sex trafficking psychopaths.
The Ottawa police used reporters and reporters used twitter to get the word out to the public this time. Social Media is a useful and effective tool for police when the need arises. The problems any police department seems to have with social media in potential crime reporting only seems to comes when the information disseminated is unfavourable to them - then they warn of misinformation and rumour.
At 7 a.m. it looked like @OttawaPolice the official Ottawa Police twitter account just warned of ice dangers on the Rideau Canal - not a missing 12 year old child. I looked. I was corrected by the Ottawa Police that they did actually post an alert at approximately at 7 p.m.. I looked over 14 hours later but I missed it somehow.
Have you seen her picture? She looks like a budding baby. She is a budding young lady. Police state she could pass for 15 - 17 year old girl. What 12 year old girl couldn't? It does not mean in any way shape of form, that she is menatlly capable of being aware of her own protection.
Given her odds - should there not be more of more concern for her protection against Child Sex Trafficking rings?
Canada - read that again - Canada - meaning ALL of us (blame government policies but Canadian elected that goverment and their policies, we are equally liable for the atrocities befallen First Nations people.) We are undergoing a Human Rights Tribunal for discrimination against First Nations children and acees to basic Human Rights. The United Nations has declared it, as well as Amnesty Internation a few years ago!
Why has an Amber Alert not been issued?
"An AMBER Alert is not intended for cases involving parental abductions or runaways except in life threatening situations." OPP
It is not a life threatening issue that a little girl who rececently turned 12 years old is not at danger missing in a huge city; she recently moved to, and could not possible comprehend how to safely travel about or within - where would she go?
It is zero temperature in Ottawa. It is cold. Do you think by now, ca car has driven by, noticed her? Stopped? Asked her if she wanted to get warm? Offered her a burger and fries?
Do you think a 12 year old child alone, freezing and hungry would get in? I do.
Is that not a life threatening situation?
There are NO bad kids - there are only SAD kids.
(Note: This post is about questioning the expansion of Amber Alert program and is not about the police. I am sure police followed protocol. This post is about questioning that protocol.)

Idle No More.. We come in Peace
Four women who said
We are Idle No More
Awakened the whole world
Simply knocking on the door
We're very scared mothers
Childrens' lives are at stake
Canada will be poisoned
Every river, stream and lake
Come outside and see
Take a really long look
This beauty before you
Will be in a history book
There's no environment protection
The government took that away
It also broke Treaties
That weren't just for display
We're First Nation ladies
Proud of who we are
We forever stand united
Even when distanced from afar
We love our country
As probably you do yours
We are all indigenous
Connected water, shore to shores
The world's in danger
Our lands from here to there
Affects the global future
For our grandchildren to share
To all media people
Start reporting the harsh truth
Outside the lines, perhaps
A job for a real sleuth
To all Canadian people
We call you to lead
To all government officials
We will see you concede
Four women once said
We are Idle No More
Began a millions movement
Peacefully knocking at the door

FaceBook's Exploitation of Amanda Todd
A “cause” is circulating FaceBook. An invitation to join the “Petition:
Arrest Cyber Bullies Responsible for Amanda Todd’s Death”. I don’t understand
the purpose of the petition and have not yet signed.
Amanda was targeted and exploited by a sexual predator - still free and most
likely preying on other innocent and vulnerable children. There are a reported 5
million FaceBook users under the age of 10 and FaceBook knows it.
I take exception that FaceBook Inc. is allowed to profit from child exploitation,
cyber-rape and suicide.
Bullying is a traffic driven hot topic. Arresting bullies is not a cause
– it’s an outcome.
A petition should not be required to enforce a Child Exploitation and Protection crime. Her tragedy began with a predator using a naked picture of her and then extorting and exploiting her through mass distribution to the world. It has also been reported, this child porn photo was also at some point used as a "profile" picture.

Her tragedy began with a predator using a naked picture of her and then extorting and exploiting her through mass distribution to the world. It has also been reported, this child porn photo was also at some point used as a "profile" picture.
FaceBook Inc. provides a social networking service, an online worldwide neighbourhood. It is a publically traded conglomerate that facilitates
relationship building and promotes personal detail sharing among like-minded people,
groups and associations.
It is a cyber nation and should therefore be governed by the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of a Child.
FaceBook’s metric system of revenue generation is predicated and calculated
by notoriety of topic; a rating platform of interest and traffic driven
participation of a similar audience. On that basis, FaceBook makes money.
FaceBook is profiting off of any and all traffic driven social interaction
pertaining to this child’s suicide and in real time without having any responsibility in facilitating the interaction. It appears to me, FaceBook Inc. is an accessory and facilitated these child
abuse crimes.
What is FaceBook’s Age of Consent?
There isn’t one.
There are “Terms of Service” which I am sure every 5 million estimated 10 year olds read in entirety and understood.
Blame Parents, it’s your fault!
Reality Check - if a kid wants a FaceBook account, they will find a way to have a FaceBook account. Parents are not there 24/7 and cannot monitor their childrens' online access and eternal footprint in its entirety - and FaceBook knows this.

It is time for FaceBook Inc. to accept culpability.
We can demand it. We can demand Child Protection technology be adopted
by FaceBook.
If not – in protest, we can mass delete our profiles.
