Canada Is Over Governed

[mirror]

There was one serious flaw made when the constitution was patriated. The provinces were NOT abolished. Canada politicians at all levels are failing our citizens. And these municipal amalgamations have ripped the soul out of our communities. I remember when I used to know the policeman on the beat. Our cities have now been turned into war zones.

Let's find some people to represent us that really care about Canada instead of these yahoos that are just there for their pension benefits.

We are way over governed but not one politician is prepared to be honest and admit that, because they would be talking themselves out of a job.

Can you imagine what a screwup we would have in Canada if we had something similiar to what happened in NO this week. It is actually very scary! And one of the reasons is that no one is going to have a clue in this country about who is in charge.

Isn't it time to call a spade a spade and admit all this money spent on security for a supposed attack is just another way for politicians to milk the public trough, and give their corporate buddies another government contract at our expense.

Let's finally elect some people to Ottawa that have some courage and are going to effect some meaningful change.

Let's turn off our TVs and try living in the real world!

Do you ever have anything of substance to comment on apart from personal putdowns that is. Get a life pal!

I was about to ask you that very question about having "anything of sustance to comment on" ....and my friend I do have a life because I do turn my TV off as you suggested and my monitor, to boot.

I agree, when we give too much power in the hand fo the same politicians, they actually use it against us.

Canada was founded by BNA colony wich where converted in provinces. The provinces created the federal, its not the federal who created the provinces....

Its not a coincidence that most of the bush government is composed of oil and warfare business man. Its not a coincidence if they are busy since bush is elected...

About NO, i was affected by the big ice storm in 1998, when we lost electricity for a few weeks in the middle of winter. Thats when you see who you can really count on... There where 2 kind of ppl, the one that made evrything they could to help, and the one using the situation to make money. Some store where selling battery and candle 10 times their regular prices... And forget about buying a generator... I am very sad for the ppl in NO, those thing are so much horrible, loosing all you had, sometime members of your family and having to restart all over again... And Forget about that town, they will never be able to rebuild it... they builded the town at a lower level than the sea...

Not evrything is corrupt but actually you can't have corruption without power and what stronger power can you have other than a government ? its actually a magnet for corruptor...

I find it funny that two lefties will say we have too much government!!!

The people who agree with parties who support the "welfare state" are telling us we are over-governed. My god, what has this world come too.

And as much as I hate to admit it, I agree with you. Less government! More accountability!

Lets get the Conservatives in to produce such and outcome!!!

What was the reaction in the Bloc camp when the government survived the non-confidence vote last Spring? I seem to remember reading somewhere that Duceppe felt the Conservatives blew it by not supporting the Bloc's motion to bring down the government.

I think this idea that bigger is better can be a fallacy especially when it comes to government services. The merger in the GTA is a good example. I'm sure it is a rare occasion that the citizens there now know their policepeople. One of the major problems we face with crime is that people will not talk to the police even if they have witnessed something. Well no kidding! We are rapidly losing our communities where people knew each other and we are now paying the price.

I suggest we go back to smaller muncipalities where people know each other, and where we know the policepeople. It would make a difference. Governments are not businesses and people need to recognize that. Some things cannot be measured on a balance sheet.

So am I to assume you are a righty? Or a centrist? Just wondering. Or are you just a critic who has no political leanings?

Why have a government at all? we should just have one supreme leader and no one else.

Actually, Duceppe is more experienced in politics than Harper and his crappy strategists. Duceppe wanted to force an election 1 week after things started to get mad with the Gomery comission. At that time they had the opportunity to do so. He didn't want to give Paul martin the time to organise. However, harper didn't want to overthrow the government that fast, it took him too much time to react and when he finally understood that martin had a knee on the floor, it was too late. the liberal media where pushing hard to save the liberal from an election, Martin was back on his leg.

Center-right, I guess im some kind of social democrats wich economically beleive in progressive conservative. Im just a little bit libertarian while thinking a bit more like the left on social issue like gay marriage, abortion, war in iraq, ecology and etc..

I hate the liberals, i vote for the bloc, i want the conservative to win.

I know it can seem weird but its all about logic and strategic vote.
