Canada is a 'feudal system' disguised as a democracy. Since 1931 we’ve been 'governed' by cozy deals brokered between politicians running amok. Canada is bereft of a constitution & we have little effective control over government, its abuses and its waste. To become a real country, we must become a nation of united inhabitants who understand it is we who are the masters, and the politicians and bureaucrats are the servants. Until then we’re nothing more than a 21st century feudal society and modern-day feudal serfs. This blog will remain largely Canadian-focused.

The Unsurprising Surprise


Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed!


Belinda Stronach isn’t a popular woman right now …nor is she considered particularly ethical, nor loyal to the people who hired her to be an MP …her constituents. You’d think she believes she was elected because people like her …rather than elected for what she purportedly represented at the podium (the place where candidates plead with us for the job) which was the ‘blue’ resistance to the red rougue Liberal Party of Canada.

The bottom line seems to be Ms. Stronach’s sexual interests …"conservative love making” with boyfriend Peter McKay represents her softer side. However, the wild vixen within her prefers to slide into bed with Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin to give Canadians as a whole a thorough screwing!

How surprised should we truly be that Belinda Stronach would rise and cross the floor to join the corrupt and arrogant Liberal party? Not much really. After all the rookie MP was lured with a cabinet post …right? Possibly not, since Ms. Stronach and Paul Martin share yet another intimacy not well known …as co-board members for outfits such as Montreal’s Power Corp …a key player in the Kyoto ruse that will see the trading of carbon credits become its own economy funded with dollars out of your pocket and mine! (For more on this go HERE)

The real story, however, is not so much the intrigues, betrayals and sound bytes around this latest political tidbit that fascinates our inquisitive and gossipy imaginations. Once again, the real issue is that of how we ‘allow’ government to function, and how little direct control we have over our elected employees …which is virtually none.

It is far too easy to get caught up in the ongoing Ottawa soap opera …too easy to get drawn off on titillating tangents …and too frequently that we say “to hell with it” and stop trying to figure it all out -- because the day was too long and tiring as we tried to support our families on incomes that belong more to governments than they do to us! Between those few obvious factors we lose sight of a very simple truth …the system is wrong. Why is it wrong? Because it was designed by the wrong people.

In Canada, government has written its own mandate(s) all along and we are ‘consulted’ every few years to see who will sit in Ottawa and continue the charade. There has never been a constitution written by the people and given to ‘government’ as their ‘job description’ …as their framework of what we, the rightful owners of this land, give those we elect permission to do while serving us. Over time, governments have given those to themselves and it isn’t rocket science to figure out that we (the people) have been given second or third consideration behind what government wants to do. Actually a role reversal has ocurred over time in that we elect people to serve us and end up serving them!

If we were to write that framework document today, we would be wise (right out of the gate) to eliminate the word “govern” because it implies too much permission and leeway. In its place I would suggest the word “administer” because it is a far more appropriate word for what their function truly is …to simply (and ONLY) administer certain of our national affairs, (the one we give them permission to administer) …nothing more unless we have been asked for and have granted permission. I say this because I wish to underscore an important issue that has (over time) cost us billions of dollars and cost many of us untold grief.

The issue is that governments take it upon themselves to embark on enormous amounts of social engineering that reflects the particular bent of the dominant party. Those programs alter lives and destinies and once in place are all but impossible to dispense with and we end up stuck with them, stuck with the cost and stuck with the most often odious consequences ...including yet another entrenched, inefficient and costly bureaucracy!

Canada desperately needs that document (written by us and only us via Citizen's Assembly similar to that which studied electoral reform in British Columbia) that clearly and absolutely outlines the ‘job description of our elected employees'. The document is called a constitution, and anyone who tells you Canada has one is offering you a gross distortion of facts and history. For more on this go HERE to find out how the charade has been pulled off over time.

Now, for today’s entertainment …tune in to your favourite news program and listen to the colourful explanations that will be coming out of Belinda Stronach concerning why she took it upon herself to decide what political stripe would represent her constituents …instead of resigning her seat immediately when her own political direction (ambitions) changed from that which got her elected in the first place! It should be good!

Til next time!
The Serf
