Buzzword Jack in The New Sustainable Economy

Brent Jessop - Knowledge Driven Revolution.com
July 26, 2007
There are a lot of problems facing Canada and the world these days. If you were a leader of a major ‘leftwing’ Canadian political party like Jack Layton, what would you write an article about?

Lebanon, Sudan, Haiti, Iraq...

How about ending wars? Or at least the wars Canada is involved in. That is a touchy subject for Jack. If he had his way Canada would have troops in Lebanon and the Sudan. For peacekeeping of course. Never mind that Gen. Rick Hillier, the head of the Canadian military, bluntly stated that:
“We're not the public service of Canada, we're not just another department. We are the Canadian Forces, and our job is to be able to kill people,”
Jack was probably thinking more along the lines of Canada’s experience in Haiti. That is, overthrowing a democratically elected government and occupying what was left. Then again, Jack tries really hard not to talk about Haiti.

What else does Jack keep quiet about? How about Canada’s involvement in Iraq? Or maybe, Canada’s involvement in missile defence?

So war is not a subject that Jack should be writing about. How about his support for bank mergers? No, that whole subject is better left ignored. How about Jack’s support for government funding of multinational corporations, traditionally called fascism? Again, why needlessly draw attention to such things.

What is left for Jack to write about? How about the environment? Perfect, the environment is really popular these days. Jack should jump on that bandwagon. Not the Stephen Harper Clean Air Act bandwagon that he was riding for a while. But the real environmental agenda.

The New Sustainable Economy

You don’t rise to the top of a major political party in any country without having some understanding of who your masters are and what they want. Jack Layton of the New Democratic Party of Canada is certainly no exception. In short, his masters are internationalists who want a global government (they prefer the term ‘global governance’[1]). An important tool to accomplish this goal is sustainable development, with the fear of imaginary global warming as the motivation (I don’t have the space here to elaborate on that, but a good place for people to start looking is Agenda 21 signed at the Rio Earth Summit back in 1992).

But Buzzword Jack knows the score. And he will tell you himself in his new article, if you care to listen. He used the term ‘new sustainable economy’ four times, even once in the title. Of course, Canada needs to lead the way to the ‘new sustainable economy’ or be left behind for lack of global competitiveness:
“As a result, Canada… does not have the practical expertise, business investment orientation or government policies to compete with other countries in the new sustainable economy.”
If that is not enough motivation for you, Jack has another card to play, fear of global warming and the need for compliance to the Kyoto Protocol (a direct result of the Rio Earth Summit by the way):
“For the most part, Canadian industry has stubbornly refused to adapt to the reality of climate change and to our obligations under the Kyoto Protocol. Liberal and Conservative governments have done little to push Canadian firms to comply. Today, nine years after signing the Protocol, Canada's emissions are 35 per cent above where they should be and Canada is way behind in the new sustainable economy.”
But Jack has not given up on Canada:
“It's not too late for Canada to harness our potential and develop the expertise to become a real player in the new sustainable economy.”
Jack put his cards on the table for all to see. Did you care to look?

I did, and I voted for the NDP back in the day when Harper won... but since his military views have been made public, and how he seems a tad limited in knowlege based on what exactly is going on, I don't believe I would vote for them again, until their or his policy changed to something a bit more educated.

Other then that and before all that, the party did seem to be on the ball for most things compared to the Liberals and Conservatives..... but now they've kinda screwed themselves.

Jack is just saying what he things the extreme left want to hear...if he wasnt doing just that, he might have come up with some good arguments and ideas for why, and how we should pull out and what would better Afghanistan. He said something in the News about Peacekeepers.... Jack is an idiot
