Important Issues to Canadians

[Catchme]

Timely manner? 320 hrs a day are getting back logged. Time for timely appointments was up 6 months ago.

This is a bigger priority than the other stupid things the CPC have done, even according to the CPC. As they want offenders in jail not out on the streets they said when the Liberals were in power. Seems like the opposite is happening.

Greetings folks! Happy New Year and all that stuff. Back from a long trip to a desert.

I am sure you all missed me.

Environment:

A whole industry can be made out of environmental changes that would sustain the environment and help the economy. First; with wind, solar, and wave means of developing power.

Very true and well put - as ong as you do not support Kyoto and sending my hear dearned Canucklebuck to some tinpot dictator so he can spend it creating jobs for his people Canuck jobs

Industries using hydo,or fossil fuels to operate, that release heat admissions as part of their processing could be tied to green houses and food producers in northern climates to grow produce closer to destination points or at destination points. I.e. pulp mills release huge amounts of heat that can, and is being used to heat green houses, and it could be done on a larger scale with investment and support.

This would cut down gas emissions from transporting produce, which is actually significant emissions, utilize lost heat/energy into the enivironment. It would also cut down on food costs and road repairs.

Good points

Put more money into recycling and recycling plants making the transportation and the separation more efficient. This is an industry that can gro faster than it is, there are many studies on this out there.

Well I am not a recycler - until it makes money, is self supporting and is more efficient than using new stuff - it ain't happening. Nope - not worried about the environment. It is not so bad here in Canuckville. BUt if you really want to try and force it on someone try China, India and Pakistan - their polution factors are pretty high. Let's keep the tax payers money out of this one

Insure that industries are compliant with world environmental policies. Markets are lost because industry are not complying. Esp the forest industry.

Compliant? Wolrd policy? Sorry as a Canuck I am damned if the world tells me how to run my part of the ground. Oops! I am Canadian - I tremble when outfits like the corupt United Nations squeal like the oinkers they are. Well, in the end everyone will come to us for what they need if we have it. When one market closes another opens. Forestry is doing pretty well at the moment.

Encourage the use of rail transport over that of long distance truck hauling by giving incentives to companies than can use rail as opposed to trucks.

Could not agree more with the use of rail - just keep the money from the tax payer out of the equation. Give them a tax break? I can go with that - but no other subsidies please - they pay full price for fuel, land and such.

There are so many ways.

Health Care

Get the College of Physicians and Surgeons out of the buiness of who says who can be Drs in Canada or not.

Hardly! I do not want some quack from a third rate nation and a fourth rate education coming here and simply setting up shop.

However I DO SUPPORT 2 Tier Health Care - if you can pay go to the head of the other line please and shorten this one. Thank you very much!

Get more Nurse Pratictioners out into the out laying areas these would be in place of,or assisting Drs on a greater scale than regular Nurses can.

Yup good idea - you going to place them in jail in these areas and FORCE them to treat the locals? Freedom of movement issues here that you have missed.

Focus more on holistic health.

Huh? Whatever - anyone can set up I suppose - if it works fine - but I think I will stick with the College

Stop spending so much on administratative costs cut down on levels of admins and admin areas

A typically common response - but no one has managed to date

Regulate toxic foods and products better.

Toxic food? I am getting abetter picture now. Just what is a toxic food and how is it legally sold and how can one regulate this? Place criminal charges against executives running the company that sells this poison?

Fund families so they can look after loved ones at home instead of institutions and hospitals

This is a good one - but difficult to do - money from the tax payer? I would accept tax incentives - but nothing more. No cash thanks - too much room for abuse.

Focus more on home care and put more resources there as opposed to hospitals and facilities.

They both have their place - home care works - but only to a point - and not everyone is willing to do so.

Have a national day care program so that health care professionals that work shift work can actually get child care to meet their needs.

Institutionalize brain washing for children? Nope - worst idea possible. Bring those kids up at home - or do not have them. Kids are a parents responsibility - NOT THE FEDS!!!! Make your choice - career or kids and follow your responsibilities - do not expect the government to bail you out if you refuse your parental duties.

Take ALL money from the military and put it into health care, the environment education and treaty ratification.

Now you show your true lack of knowledge - a country that neither feed itself or defend itself will lose the ability to rule itself.

Stop corporate welfare at all levels of government.

What is this? I want those companies to make LOTS of money - more the better. That way they stay here and do not leave for other shores. Besides - the shareholders make a little extra as well.

Stop paying seniors OAS who do not need it. And watch those who are on the cusp of not needing it to see if they go our of country longer than a month, if they do revoke it.

Well in fact OAS is clawed back when the person is deemed to "make too much money". By the way - how much money should a senior make to NOTbe considered making too much money?

I am surprized, but I agree - you want OAS you live in Canada - no I do not care how long you paid into it and I do not care who you are - want the bucks - live here.

Stop giving MP and MLA's pensions who are there shorter times than 10 -15 years.

20 years minimum. No double dipping allowed. Pension based upon 2% per year and average of last 6 years salary. Bonuses and committee money to NOT be included in calcuations.

Now for the Borg list:

1. Quadruple the military budget - more if possible.

2. Secure the Arctic.

3. Free education to the first degree for every Canadian citizen who IS BORN in Canada - fail one course and you are out. Period! It might not be fair - tough titty - it is my list.

4. Develop the oil sands in Saskatchewan.

5. Equal rights – throw it out. The only people with rights are law abiding citizens of this country. All others will be held to the letter of the law – illegal immigrants - will be detained until heard. Heard once only. If you succeed you get in – otherwise you are immediately deported. Landing in Canada will no longer grant you Canadian rights. Prisoners will no longer vote.

6. No dual citizenship.

7. Stiffen the borders and round up the nearly 40,000 illegal and ordered deported immigrants.

8. Actively seek immigrants that can speak and function in one of the two official languages.

9. Corporate taxes for Canadian owned and Canadian based companies to be reduced or eliminated. Companies cannot have more than 10% foreign ownership.

10. Develop roads and airport infrastructure into the arctic.

11. Remove government from any non core services – core service to be defence, immigration, coastal waters, environment, and so on.

12. All taxes collected by provinces as per Quebec agreement.

13. Two tier health care.

14. Close the Senate asap

Catchme:

You are a leftie - and I am not. You will have us drown in government and due to federal social re-engineering over the past 30 years you will likely win.

Canada has slowly become a nation of feminatzis and limp wristed men.

That’s it for now folks - see you later.
