I have noticed a lot of news articles
lately that reported on dumb actions that various levels of
government are taking.
Case in point:
Quebec sues tobacco companies for $60B
The province already collects heaps of
taxes from the sale of tobacco – and while I understand (and
support) the idea that the money raised from this cash grab is
supposed to support healthcare, you can't both sell a product and
then sue a company for the sale of that product. See my stance on
tobacco here.
Item number two:
Feds suggest U.S. EPA could replace Canadian pollution team
So essentially we would be getting a US
government agency to monitor our environment? Isn't that what we have
our own environment ministry for? Or does The Harper Government
(Monarchy) think that we should just take the full step and become a
part of the USA? Oh wait, they do. My mistake.
(Side note: That would make Quebec a nation within a united Canada within a United States of America. Inception?)

I am
particularly critical of decisions made by the current Conservative
Party of Canada ever since Stephen Harper became Prime Minister. To
see why, look here.
But it's not just that I have disdain for the Conservative Party - I would like to be able to criticize the government no matter which party is in power - that is because I have the right to free speech (well, at least until the government takes that right away as well). Political musings are a large part of the content of this blog. So please, join the discussion, and voice your opinions.
