As in today’s Harper Cabinet Shuffle.
The key spots all remained unchanged – not that it matters though since the only real change needed is in Stephen Harper’s mind.
In other-words, breakout the Hidden Agenda!!
So following is my wish list for the Prime Minister over the second half of his mandate:
- reduce the civil service salary / benefits by 10 – 20% across the board (this to apply to MP and Cabinet as well);
- reduce the size of cabinet by 10 – 20%;
- sell off the Crown Corporations;
- jettison the green energy nonsense;
- impose a term limit on abortion;
- put through the pipelines;
- balance the budget;
- reserve the term ‘marriage’ for heterosexual couples only;
- introduce private medicine into medicare;
- deep six the Senate;
- no more corporate welfare;
- expand NATO into an economic, as well as military, union for Democratic Nations which respect the Rule of Law;
- drop the requirement that federal employees need be bilingual;
- cut income taxes across the board by 25%;
- stop funding CBC television;
- freeze Muslim immigration for 5 years;
- put the right of property ownership in the Charter of Rights;
- make all votes in the House of Commons free votes unless it pertains to the budget vote or a vote of non-confidence;
- give MPs real power by increasing the power of Parliamentary Committees with the resources needed to make that function properly.
I could go on and on – but you get the idea.
No doubt I have missed one or more of your own pet wishes – and if so, please let me know and I will publish those as well.
This would put the C back into Conservative and give us something to be proud of.
As I see it …
‘K.D. Galagher’
