RP: 4/5/03 Hello John:
Very glad you could accept our invitation, and very
interesting that you made your first presentation on Global
LETS to the COMER conference back in 1985 at U of Waterloo.
Maybe you could tell us a little bit about that - what the
group was like, who was there, etc.
JCT: First, I'll mention that COMER stands for Committee on
Monetary and Economic Reform and was founded by Economics
Prof. John Hotson from Waterloo University. Surely, the
agenda must be in archives. There were quite a few people.
Tom Kennedy, Margaret Thoren, Prof. Blaine, a few other now
well-known monetary reform activists.
RP: Was that the first COMER conference?
JCT: I think there had been previous meetings. I don't
remember it being advertised as the first or founding
meeting.
RP: I tried to find your 1993 interview with Hotson, but the
"page was not available".
JCT: Too bad about the interview. It used to be run out of
the Vancouver LETS site. Hotson was the first Economics
Professor to ever give my interest-free banking model a fair
hearing.
RP: If you are agreeable I'll ask Darko if he could tape
your talk.
JCT: Please do. They made CDs for sale in England and in
France. Be my guest. I videotape for my archives too.
RP: I learned that your bus will leave Ottawa at 10:45,
arriving 1:15 at Kingston bus station where I will meet you.
JCT: Fine.
RP: Our meeting starts at 1:30, we do a little housekeeping,
start the talk and discussion by 2:00 and finish around 3:30
when we break for coffee. Those who are available can go
with us for a bite to eat and then we'll return to the
terminal about 10 after 6.
JCT: Or later. I've got a month to return.
RP: The return ticket is $51.36 + GST if you buy it before
Sunday; about $25 more if you wait until Sunday morning. Our
treasurer, Hugh, hopes you will get your ticket before
Sunday.
JCT: Just went out and got it tonight. Besides, you might
need the $25 for more donuts since I'm relaying this to my
distribution list.
RP: I have attached some information about using the BoC to
finance municipal capital projects which may interest you.
Richard
JCT: Great. And provincial and federal. With citizens
allowed to have Bank of Canada interest-free accounts too.
Actually, if UNILETS gets installed first, no one will need
the national, provincial or lesser local accounts anymore.
Why get an account for only some people when you can have
an account that works for all?
And I'm definitely going to take some time to explain how
the prohibition of cannabis is another way of keeping the
debt slaves sick and hooked on expensive pharmaceuticals.
It's all in the same package of my revolution.
So:
See you Sunday. And I'd advise you guarantee first seating
to those who book them before opening up remaining seating
to the walk-ins.
