First of all you are trying to apply some kind of business model to the evolution
of a society. We do not have products we have services for people when it
comes to government. Another thing that must be considered is, we have a
multitude of solutions coming from citizens who see the world differently and in
so doing must have a voice in order to maintain a social order to things.
If you start applying the principles mentioned above you end up with all kinds of
problems as has been witnessed throughout history. I agree, we do need to have
some priorities, however Canada has survived because we have none.
During the Lester B Pierson area there motto, jokingly was , Lets kick it around and
we'll always get by.
In Canada there is no long range planning because our collective mood changes and
that in turn changes the government and its policy. The last thing we want is a plan,
if we had a plan someone would actually want to carry it out and that would have all kinds
of consequences. I have always said, Canadians want change, we call for change, we
ask for change, we even demand change, but if a government comes along and changes
anything we get mad as hell and throw them out of office. I have seen this over and over
again. I don't want privatization of government programs, I want them thought out as to
how they are going to look twenty five and thirty years down the road, and I want them to
work for people in the future. Oh Ya that would require a long term plan and it might even
mean some change, better scrap that concept. This is Canada for heaven sake.
