Only with an defined objective, can we manage-backwards from that objective and set in motion the steps required to achieve the predetermined end. (Mis-quoting Myron Baloney, the seemingly indefatigable, Rt Hon, political influence)
Canada's leaders have no vision. They are not leaders, they are followers. Canada's leaders are keeping themselves in power (or attempting to) by running to the front of every perceived parade. So let's start there
Tax Code
Citizenship & Taxation
Problems that don't seem to get fixed Passports/Coast Guard/ SIN/ Federal Buildings
The Conditional Charter of group rights and justicible (thereby provisional) freedoms
It's rare that I grant too much credit to he late Mr Trudeau, but I do believe he knew exactly where he was going when he de-criminalized the sex-practises of his comrades in anything-goes sexuality (why else did the FLQ manifesto call him a tapette? -alliteration?) This fellow had a vision of a fabian/socialist central government dreamland (which we are as poised as ever to become) but he was wise enough to keep it to himself. Vision - we need one. One that (this time) we know about and agree upon. For one practical reason. Only with an defined objective, can we manage-backwards from that objective and set in motion the steps required to achieve the predetermined end.
