Fellow Ontarians, At the time of writing this newsletter, all that stands between the elimination of 10,000 holistic, traditional, energy and spiritual care professionals from the Ontario mental healthcare industry, who are providing freely-chosen, proven safe and effective front-line drug-free healthcare treatments, is the final signature on the ‘controlled act of psychotherapy’—legislation that was concocted behind-the-scenes by the medical-pharmaceutical lobby group named Federation of Regulated Health Professions of Ontario (FHRCO). If you believe that no private, unelected, self-interest group should be in a position to eliminate its competition through slick marketing and positioning in the government, please help us stop this NOW… visit www.StopPsychotherapyTakeover.ca for ways to help and to financially assist. Don’t let the name fool you… FHRCO is a private, self-interest corporation driving the hardships that front-line professionals and their clients are now experiencing. If this behavior of one powerful healthcare model towards the other is not anti-competition and completely in violation of everything that Canadians cherish when they think of freedom, nothing is. Worse, it is influenced, if not entirely directed, by a private international corporation with an equally misleading name, Council on Licensure, Enforcement and Regulation (CLEAR). Regulatory College administrators, such as those of the College of Registered Psychotherapists (CRPO) are advancing their careers in ‘international’ regulation on the backs of those forced to pay massive annual membership fees just for the right to work. Even Ontario’s regulatory Colleges are unelected ‘body corporates’ (corporations), that are unaccountable to the public, not subject to the Corporations Act or to Freedom of Information requests. Our investigations have revealed that these corporations are working well outside their mandates, as they gang up on and bully regulated and unregulated practitioners alike under the guise of ‘protecting the public interest’. If you are tired of being ‘protected’ by a corrupt healthcare system that is imploding with bureaucracy and the elimination of front-line workers, contribute what you can to our work: www.StopPsychotherapyTakeover.ca The prerogative by which the psychotherapy-related legislation was forced on Ontarians as a means of centralizing control of all mental, emotional and spiritual care treatment in the hands of psychologists and psychiatrists is listed by the Public Appointments Secretariat as ‘Permissive Law by Minister’s Order in Council’. Permissive laws are typically defined as laws that grant permission for acts that are otherwise prohibited. Concurrent unjustified legislation, such as the controlled act of acupuncture (implicit in the RHPA’s 2nd controlled act) has already eliminated hundreds, if not thousands, of highly successful and experienced professionals from the natural healthcare industry. With the pending proclamation of the controlled act of psychotherapy, the agenda to eliminate all drugless mental health alternatives to addictive pain and psychiatric medications will have succeeded. The rampant drug addiction epidemic caused by medical treatment for pain and mental illnesses will increase from the present 5-6 times more addicts than street-drug pushers create, to many hundreds of times more. On yet another flank, the president of FHRCO is promoting ‘proposed’ Ontario Clinic Regulations (http://www.stoppsychotherapytakeover.ca/ontario-clinic-regulation/) that make all unregulated healthcare and wellness service locations illegal overnight, once rubber-stamped into law. Those healthcare practitioners who have reluctantly agreed to try to work with the current forced regulation under the RHPA, instead of remaining truly self-regulated within associations of voluntary members as called for by the original spirit and intent of the RHPA, have been financially and emotionally devastated, forced out of their careers and out of work through entirely arbitrary credentialing, training, updating and bureaucratic requirements designed specifically to eliminate a vast majority of drugless professionals. The more the public is showing its preference for drugless options, the more the medical pharmaceutical industry has ramped up its tyrannical behavior, causing much distress to the professionals targeted, the public who relies on natural therapies and to the Ontario economy that is already facing massive unemployment and out-of-control conventional healthcare costs. Medical-pharmaceutical devotees have not earned the moral and ethical authority to impose its views on the public. Using underhanded methods, the medical-pharmaceutical cartel is systematically, financially and emotionally exhausting the very professionals who are 100% safe according to extensive studies, and saving the healthcare system billions annually.
