Actually yes. They have a constitutional mandate to control the creation of currency which gives some control over the value of the dollar. Unfortunately they gave away that control to the international private banks who manipulate most global currencies to their advantage while f*cking over the citizens.
They do NOT however have any constitutional authority to manipulate the economy or really be involved with business other than to regulate and tax.
i guess a concept of controlling the dollar through different means and methods of implementation of attractivness to international investment is not in job descriptions,but it is in the best interest for job descriptions of the country of Canada as a whole.Unfortunately the cons figured everything was to give away for asking,even consitutional mandate.good bye old thinking!Hello aggressive hope!
i woke up today,feeling as excited as i did for Liberal policies as i did for them 10 years ago.I felt youthful of heart,I pulled out my books on the trudeau's,I feel good.I love the constitution, and more then the Constitution I love to examine process's which come along with the Constitution,checking out what influences these process's as i go. Liberal ideals is where i saw myself in the political spectrum,but unfortunatey the belief in these ideals diminished with the process i was delivered through the Liberal party,or lack of process,i am not sure,they were useless at the time to recognize constituinal interference.i was very disappointed,and sad, i could not find a Liberal just like me.I also encountered a few other things with Liberal ideals,that presented itself as corrupt.I was naive then
back to business
yes i agree i would not want constitutional authority over business,but our government has an obligation and authority to make canadians safe and ensure prejudices and political bias don't interfere into this business, there is a public obligation to regulatory oversight,i know some would find hard for some to believe.
There are process's for regulatory oversight,or should be, or better yet in my case I "hoped so".
One would think "regulatory oversight process's and the design which should serve multi stakeholders in a meaniful manner, in a win win situation, but in reality these regulatory process's,have become a "pile of entitlement of business" agendas, interfering with regulatory process, and providing a diminished,powereless,unsafe,manipulating,process to Canadians,which is designed with no capacity for advancements or resolve.
for anyone to believe anything different is deluded,old and out of touch with modern business,and i would like to also throw in a person who is a little on the psycopathic end of greed.
Canada deserves a better brand.
business has interfered with constitutional obligation and application,by no means has governement interfered with business and constitutional application,for moving along to the future of Canada and business,this old talk must go.
what has happened,usually access to the regulatory process is usually only accessed by limited stakeholders,this is by design,usually these process's are marginalized by intentions, this resulting in limited public oversight.unfortunatley these designer process's are intentional and purposeful,and can be easily traced to orgin of concepts of poltical influenceand belief systems,politcal policies effect these designs.what may be good in 1980 is not always good for Canadians in 2015,I am so happy today!Willful blindness,call it what you want,but this willfull blindness has hurt Canada as a whole,it has also hurt the conservative value system.
lots of turncoats amongst us.
our prime Minister is moving ahead,i feel hope today,but one thing i caution my good Prime Minister as he moves along with the advancements of oil and gas activity and advanced enviromental policies,there must be some acknowledgement of wrong doing to all stakeholders of bad process's within history,there is a history to acknowledge.I seek recognition and will be watching for it from my Prime Minister on past wrongs of enviromental oversight/regulatory practice particulary in Alberta,I seek recognition from my PM that people lost their lives and were divided in communites for defending their land and what they believed to be defense of their property.
I want advancements of oil and gas like many Canadians but I am fully aware of the past wrongs of administrative process's,and truely feel we as Canadians cannot move along for advanceements of policies until the dark history of enviromental polices is open for discussion or if anything recognition.
I like this feeling of hope today,I realize it may not stick around,but for now i am happy to run with it.
