On 3 Politicians, Goodies, And Fiddling

Did you know that the intelligent use of the Bank of Canada could reduce the deficit over time, by having the Bank create a larger portion of the yearly money supply, to the benefit of the citizens of Canada? Mr. Martin knows that.

Did you know that the $2 billion offered to the provinces for health care with so much hype is but a pittance of the amount of $ taken OUT of health care (or education)? Mr. Martin knows that. We just had the excellent Romanow Commission- but apparently "all the facts" aren't in.......yet.....

Actions speak louder than words! "Don't tell me, show me!"

Like large corporations (such as CSL?) it is commonplace (and arguably unethical) to 'defer' what is due. In my opinion, Mr. Martin will continue on in an endless "search" and discussion of facts, figures, committees, commissions, appointments, surveys of the Canadian people, deferrals, and etceteras promising almost everything but doing almost nothing. Talk is cheap. Talk is Easy.

This constant fiddling while Canada fades away into colonial (a resource warehouse) status is a tragedy. Canada has lost over 60 companies per month over 18 years, according to Industry Canada's own website, at: http://www.investcan.ic.gc.ca (go to statistics section). Mr. Martin knows that. And he also knows what the terrible consequences of foreign ownership for Canada have been.

Savy Test: 3 politicians sit on a log. One of them makes it widely known that he has made a decision to jump into the water and get into the swim of things for the betterment of humanity.

Question: How many politicians are on the log?
