How to save Canada's economy

Lets give the guy a break. He's a professor who has lived his entire life from the tax payer so he has a real insight into the workings of the real world. He's smarter than us.

Here's how to fix Canada's economy:

Step 1 - Increase taxes on polluters (aka - oil and manufacturing).

First step is to make everything more expensive. Quebec'ers and BC'ers should not be paying $1.20 for gas, no, we need them to pay $1.40 which will rob them of precious cash out of the their monthly budget. Money they will not have to spend going to restaurants or buying a shirt at the store. Transportation prices will increase so if you can afford to go to that restaurant, portions will be smaller and/or prices increased. This hurts the faming industry because restaurants are buying less. Speaking of farming, didn't ya hear, gas and petroleum's increased so the operating costs have gone up for farmers and now we are going to have to pay for that at the grocery store. And wait a minute, some of them 'pollute' (despite Canada being responsible for 1.9% of world C02 emissions.). So now these farms are going to get hit with higher taxes! Wow! A double whammy on the farmers. And who's going to pay for this? We are. This will leave us all with less money at the end of the month. We can no longer afford to purchase an Accord. We're going to have settle for a Civic or Echo. These are low profit vehicles for Honda, so Honda Canada will suffer and lay off people from the hq and plants. The factories who make engines (who will be hit with higher taxes and will already be laying off employees), will also close down because now Honda Canada no longer requires these parts. The plastic manufacturer that supplies special gaskets to the engine plant, now has a major loss of business and will be forced to lay off all kinds of employees. With Honda's less sales, they might even shut down some Canadian plants all together. But eh, it's for the environment and saving C02 emissions that Canada is only 1.9% of the world problem. This is the first essential step in making Canada's economy better in these tough times! Raise prices on just about everything. You might get a temporary personal tax credit, but the provinces will be very quick to cancel that on your income tax (as that historically happens). This will surely get us out of our economic problems.

Step 2 -Raise Immigration levels to over 500,000 people a year

When unemployment rates are severely rising at a rapid pace right now, and citizens are using EI and social services because they are unemployed, and despite the hundreds of thousands of well paying manufacturing jobs lost in the last 8 years, despite the countless reports demonstrating that the majority of new immigrants are not net contributors to our welfare state (aka do not pay taxes to cover the services they use), despite already double digit employment levels in many parts of Canada, despite the immigrants themselves saying there are no jobs in Canada, despite the fact the majority of people who arrive are family sponsored, despite that fact that over 50% of 'skilled' immigrants cannot hold employment for the first 5 years they arrive, despite the fact that the vast majority of them are living in ethnic ghettos where there are high unemployment figures, despite over 1,000,000 people now waiting to come here and use our healthcare system that we have spend our life paying for, .. despite ALL this, it seems that over 300,000 is not enough! To fix our economy, we need 500,000 people a year to further settle into ethnic ghetto's and use our medical system. Where will they work? Dion has it all figured out.. well.. despite job losses and soaring high unemployment and bankruptcies and banks losing credit, we are going to open the flood gates and create a tsunami (sp) of immigrants who shall arrive, move into their ethnic ghetto's, and do what they are current doing now - not contribute and expland into ridings which.. suprise suprise, become.. you guessed it.. LIBERAL ridings! Who's going to pay for all these people flooding in from the 3rd world? The tax payers who are unemployed?

Ah I know.. the polluters that's who. Dion has it all figured out guys!

Don't you see, if you just follow the above simple 2 steps, we will fix our economy!!

Seriously, I never knew the guy was so smart. Actually I say take it a step further. We should tax the polluters, but also those who use heating oil and natural gas to eat their homes and then let in 1,000,000 immigrants a year. Because.. if the more people we let in the better, then I say we go as much as we can!!

What smart ideas and a smart leader Dion is!!!
