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.

Brawler Has A Home
Looks as though I found a home for the Brawler, within walking distance of my condo. This is exciting news. Only 2 months to launch date. I appointed Jimmy as Safety Officer in-charge of running safety drills. Jimmy will also handle all fire fighting equipment and report directly to Ryan, or Mariana as a senior officer on the Brawler. He will also be charged with distribution of alcoholic beverages and cutting off unruly passengers. Jimmy will be like the Robert Shaw character from Jaws, regaling passengers with stories of his colourful past.
It looks as though May 24 weekend will be the first on board party for lakeside fireworks. We'll also have a launch party prior to that. I think it is time for people to seriously consider whether they want to be banned from The Brawler?
If I didn't have the worlds largest head, I would order a Captain's hat. My head is so large in circumference that the Navy did not have a large enough beret to fit it. When I had a full Afro in high school you could have hid small children in my hair. My frizzy hair had its own electrical field. The only person I have ever seen with a bigger head was Pumpkin Head, an underwriter at my old company. His head was so big that he had to enter a room sideways. He sometimes fell off his chair because his gigantic head would effect his balance. His glasses had extension cords to reach his ears. Pumpkin Head had to move his whole body when he turned to talk to you, because he had trouble turning his neck. I'm not kidding about Pumpkin Head, he really does exist. I'm banning Pumpkin Head from the boat, because if he fell in the water, I'm not sure how we would get him back on board?

The Big Rethink
I'm considering changing my whole mindset towards when I consume alcohol. In the past I would drink on Fridays, occasional Saturdays and a weekday, if there was a function. For 25 years, drinking on a Friday post work was a given. I'm thinking of dropping that whole concept.
This week I have a function on Monday and Wednesday. I'm considering only drinking alcohol if there is a function. Saving Fridays for working out, unless there is a pressing reason to drink on Friday. In the summer I may add in a few patios days.
If I secure a slip for my boat, there will be added drinking on weekends and the occasional weekday. I don't want to increase my overall consumption.
I seriously considered having another 20-day no alcohol stretch until I go to Myrtle Beach in late March. I have two functions this week and one the following week. I will restrict my drinking to those 3 days. I also need to rethink my weekend food intake. I have been consuming too many calories on weekends, during my cheat meals. I will restrict the cheat meals to one a weekend.
I borrowed an idea from my brother Paul and purchased a Fitbit scale. This weight scale sends the results to your computer where a graph plots your weight gain, or loss. Picked it up on Saturday.
I was able to run without any problem on Saturday despite consuming several beers on Friday. This concept is entirely new to me. In the past I would not have been able to run the day after drinking beer.

Toronto Casino
There is a reason that many of the major La Vegas casino operators are flocking to Toronto to lobby City Hall to build a multi-$Billion casino in downtown Toronto. Downtown Toronto is a world class destination and ripe for a mega casino project. It will pump $Billions into the local economy, employ thousands in high paying positions and assist in building much needed subways.
The loud, professional left-wing promoters of homeless funding projects, have hijacked the media and public consultation process. Their endless mantra of punishing the majority to protect the 1% of social misfits and morally weak that have quit society, will cost us a mega-project that would transform the core. It would generate an endless stream of transit funds, make downtown a destination beyond compare in the country.
There is a homelessness industry in this town that blocks projects, lops storeys off of private towers, protests any attempts at progress and development, in the name of the filthy street beggars that block my path too and from work on a daily basis. Ironically these same beggars would flock to the casino doors to ply their trade. It is the reverse 1%ers. The bottom 1% that pay no taxes, scare tourists and small children and stain our streets with their filth. A entire industry has been built around them, by people that claim they are the true urbanists and get to dictate to the rest of us how our city will be run. They just want us to pay for their version of urban utopia with our taxes. Pay and then shut up and let them define was is acceptable in the inner city.
Those of us that live in the condo towers downtown, that are not members of the artistic community, or media, social activists, we have no say. Just a cut a cheque and shut up. You have no say, because we have decided that your opinion is morally bankrupt.
It is time for the people that actually pay the bills to take back our city. We need this casino project because it is one of the few viable projects guaranteed to make money. The homeless filth and the arbiters of what passes as marginal, artistic endeavours in this town have no money. They can't build us subways, because they are takers, not providers. They drain the public purse and the income generators are marginalised, their opinions mocked and discounted.
Let's repeat their mantra "Just pay, you have no say".
We can continue to sit silently and let them make all the decisions, or we can take back our city. I'm not going to be silenced anymore by activists that dismiss my opinion but cash my cheques, then dictate how those funds will be spent.
