All of the cities and the Region of Waterloo are part of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), ICLEI (local governments for Sustainability) and the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) programs. These are not Canadian institutions. They are not elected. They are not accountable to local voters. Yet they have a great deal of influence on our local municipal governments. ICLEI Canada is the regional office of a foreign NGO, created by the United Nations, funded by international donors and multinational corporations and interests, and guided by global directives not local constituents. It serves as an implementation body for UN programs, including Agenda 21, The Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable development. Its role is to translate global mandates into local operations. That's not representation. That's infiltration under the banner of sustainability.
