Minority Mahem

Welcome to a new and better Canada. One full of tax cuts and child care promises: this will be a government for the ages. The greatness of this day will not be realized until the next election where a great deal of Canadians will rush to the ballot box asking themselves: was I drunk last election? Child care plan of the Tories: $1200 a year for child care towards children under 6 years old. $100 a month, another throw money at the problem solution. Invest that money into increasing spaces in pre-existing daycares because what good is $100 a month if there is no place to take your child. As well, hooray for pennies saved on small items like cheese, roller skates, and TV's with the drop of the GST from 7% to 5% so we can affectionatly save the rich $1000's and help pay for additions to their mansions and the new yaught they can place in their new swimming pools. To the agricultural regions who are voting Tory: when interest rates are so high that the $300 a year that you might save from the GST cannot buy back the shirt you sold off your back, you will remember that at one point your fate was in your hands, and that you were manipulated and used by the Tory big business machine. Soon enough that $300 will find its way into the pockets of some oil tycoons in Alberta who can than persist to use it as toilet paper. As for the gun issue, if you were so afraid of down and out kids with guns shooting people, here is an idea: don't cut the GST and use this 'insurmountable surplus' to invest in social programs like community sports leagues to give these kids another option. Instead, greater military and heavier armed border guards are among measures that are being put in to effect to add more conflict to an already conflict ravaged world. Once again treating the effect and not the cause. Goodbye rational peacekeeping and peaceful negotiations, hello American cowboy diplomacy. Lower taxes, increase military, arm border guards, devalue social programs, and increase the desparity between the rich and the poor. If you loved Bush before, wait until we are in bed with him. The Canadian Alliance is the Conservative party, with a stolen name missing the progressive, a broken promise by McKay to Orchard to not unite the right: Honourable members indeed. So we are a country based on the Beverley Hillbillies. With the exception that half the family gets to live in the outhouse, while Grannie lives in the mansion on the other side of the country on her environmentally destructive oil revenue. Money well spent, revenue well distibuted, and power is in the West. The day the west won.
