Happy New Taxes Day!
February 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Well, is everyone enjoying the new “higher taxes day” holiday? You folks who live in Ontario, Canada probably know it better as “Family Day”. Let me run the numbers for you. This is important stuff. Whenever the government introduces a new holiday, it is actually introducing a new tax on the people through industry. Here’s a practical example of the most extreme case:
Transalta pays its employees forty three dollars an hour in Sarnia, On. That is the regular pay rate. That is the rate the employees used to get. Now, when an employee works on “Family Day”, he or she gets triple time for a twelve hour shift. That equates to fifteen hundred dollars, five hundred of which goes right into the government coffers. Does everyone get the math? Transalta is a power generating facility that never shuts down. These people have to be there and the government knows it. “Family Day” was just another power grabbing oportunity for big government and that’s all it is.
Not only that but it forces industry to pay people to do absolutely nothing. It is welfare, plain and simple. It is also legalized robbery. People can expect someone to give them something for nothing and they have the force of government to back them up. The classic Robin Hood syndrome; socialism at its most forceful ugliness. The reward for laziness magically produced to ensure the results of the next election.
Look at GM for example. It has become a retirement home which just happens to make cars. In 2005, General Motors payed out almost thirty million dollars for, get this now, erectile disfunction piils. This according to Paul Harvey news and comment. Now, isn’t that amazing? Where is GM now? Well, there’s talk of chapter 11 bankruptcy isn’t there.
Listen, folks. The encroachment of persons interested in taking over your life is all but complete. Enjoy family day.

Go Harper Go
December 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Well, it seems we’ve gotten an early Christmas present from the government here in Canada. Steven Harper managed to get Parliament shut down til late January. Right on! Now that’s how government should operate. When it comes to government intervention, less really is more. No intrusive laws will be passed. No more growth and power grabbing by the Liberals. Free enterprise will be allowed to exist a little while longer. The CAW won’t be getting a bailout; as least not right away. Stephan Dion won’t be Primeminister (thank God).
As for the automotive industry, Toyota opened a brand new plant in Woodstock, On today. Good for them. As for the other three, listen, going bankrupt doesn’t always mean going away. Just ask Donald Trump.
Expecting taxpayers who make as little as $9/hr to bailout people making $35-$70/hr is wrong. It’s big government intervention gone insane in their lust for power. The free market knows how to deal with this stuff; that is if government can stay out of it.
Primeminister Harper may have fallen on the political sword to protect his country from making a huge mistake in propping up a trio of losers with your money and make no mistake, it really is your money.

The Peaceful Transfer of Power
December 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment
The Canadian stock exchange (TSX) saw it’s greatest single day overall loss ever yesterday. It was the greatest percentage point loss in two decades. Why? One of the key indicators of a healthy democracy is the peaceful transfer of power following elections. Canada, thanks to the two Liberal Parties and one separatist party, has been in a state of political turmoil since its recent federal election. Jack Layton, leader of the ultra left wing NDP, said yesterday he would “bring down the government at the earliest possible opportunity”. They may manage to do it with the three stooges hooking up.
The stock market reacts negatively to such comments from stupid people with power. People with money, and I mean real money, do not invest in countries who can’t make up their mind who’s going to run the show. Unstable governments, talk of separation, taxing carbon footprints, war mongering. All of it is no different than the tinpot dictators rattling swords in africa and the middle east. Who invests there? No one.
People need stability. It anchors them. The Liberal parties own this one. The market freefall is theirs. The economic woes? Theirs. The conservative tax cuts have been working. Canada is not in a recession. The economy continues to grow. The Liberals are destroying this country. Any future recession will be their doing. Shame on them for holding this country hostage for the sake of gaining power. Shame on them.
