Gutless Politicians

Want to balance the budget?
Cut military spending. Convert the Canadian military into a rapid response team in conjunction with CSIS and RCMP. Have swift boats protect coastlines and the arctic.  Get rid of the vast majority of the military bureaucrats and generals. A small percentage of the military are frontline soldiers, airmen and sailors.

I'll be patrolling the Ontario coastline, gratis for the government, in The Brawler this summer. I'll be looking for Orangeman and other undesirables. I'm armed with a new horn and the famous D'Arcy fist shake.

Eliminate the CBC overnight. Sell off its assets. End subsidies to all TV channels. Allow customers to pick which cable channels they want to pay for.

Make EI contributions voluntary. Allow people to divert EI premiums to RRSP contributions. Charge chronic, seasonal EI recipients a premium that reflects their usage. It is not insurance if you knowingly collect it every year. It is an income transfer from Full-Time hardworking people, to seasonal workers. There is no logical reason why other workers should be charged a premium for a benefit they will never collect.

End provincial equalisation program. Force people to move to where the work is located. Don't artificially  prop up the population of regions of the country where there is chronic unemployment.

Eliminate the Senate. Drastically reduce public sector pensions for new civil servants. Contract out work where possible.

Kick the anti-Catholic foreign Queen and her successors out of Canada for good.

Pay off aboriginal Canadians in a one time lump sum payment and then end the distinction between them and the rest of society.

End subsidies to businesses and farmers. Use the $billions I have just saved the country to build new highways and subways systems. Balance the budget.
