Well 95% of what the federal government does now it should not be doing, thus it leaves me little to do. Move away from the fiat system to "sound money" would be one. Put all social programs 100% in the hands of the provinces, the ones that are left. Pretty much just foreign affairs, military and "sound money" management. The rest should not be done by the government at all or it should be done by the provinces.

If I were Prime Minister I would first cut all funding for Religious studies and charities and re-direct them to non-religious charities. I would remove the tax-exempt status of all religions in this country. Think of all the tax money that can be generated that can go towards health care or education! Religion will be kept out of all schools, if you want to learn about some god go to a church. I would do my best to protect Canadian companies from being bought out by American corporations. If you plan to live in this great country, you will learn to speak one or both official languages. Increase funding for stem cell research. Dramatically increase funding for physical education in schools and extra-curricular activities. No to private health care. Decrease spending on useless jobs like hiring people in government buildings to water house plants and clean keyboards. If you want plants in your office, water them yourself. If your keyboard is dirty clean it yourself! Freeze wages on all government jobs. Mandatory service in the military. Increase taxes on higher incomes. Tighten immigration laws. Better relations with other countries. Look for new trading partners. Ensure that The Stanley Cup is owned by the Canadian people and not the NHL. Increase funding for Canadian art and music. Overhaul the insurance laws. Less spent on foreign aid that ends up going nowhere.

I would do whatever it took to reform the constitution making this country an indivisible entity. I'm tired of certain people in certain provinces (Quebec and others) crying separation every time they don't get what they want. It's very unhealthy to know one's country is so fragile.

We will never be able to move forward as a country if the central government is constantly worrying about nothing but tiptoeing around the selfish interests of 10 stubborn provinces who all dislike each other. It's ridiculous.

Constitutional reform needs to be put on the table. It's a risk, but it's one that will pay off incredibly if the cards are played right.

Mr. Canada as Prime Minister (v.2):
20 Actions I would take:


*NEW* 23. Declare the country to be Officially Irreligious and will not allow legislation (or de-legislation) in the name of any religion. Churches will be taxed.

you've got it soo right!

Health Care -- Socialize it like they do in Europe (we pay enough taxes, I'm sure there's enough money there to cover drastic improvements for health care).

Education -- More funding to schools and universities. University should be free, if you have the grades to be admitted to university like many other developed countries.

Immigration -- Don't really care about whether you're going to adopt the "Canadian culture" or not. The only criteria should be -- do you add any value to Canada as a whole -- ie, are you educated, skilled labourer? If the answer is no, rejected! If you have any criminal record (regardless of how minor it is) -- rejected. I remember a few years ago, a murder suspect in Toronto had been deported to Jamaica, and he was allow re-entry into Canada -- where he later killed someone.

Defense -- Don't involved in wars where Canada has no business being involved in.

Legal system -- Improve it so that it's no longer a joke. Tougher penalties for serious crimes. Posession of a concealed "UNREGISTERED" weapon -- 5 years in jail minimum for the first offence. If you're a legitimate hunter, gun collector you'd have the firearms registered (for the most part).

Get rid of head of state.....and free the humans!
Courses in politics would have to be taken before you're allowed to vote. Just like driving a car! You not allowed to drive until we know , that you how


We would make issues were more important than party politics.
And make sure Federal , PROVINCAL, MUNICPAL politics stay separate along with the issues to those governments.

The people would have to be more educated about the meaning of politics.
Children would have to take courses in school from grade 5 and 12. So they understand the political spectrum. Before voting.

my blog will continue with this topic! Sammy
