check out Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers on you tube . they have very good explanations why bilouts are bad for us and for our future
one of the things that i learned was that the two trillion spent on the US bailouts is the equivalent of all the gold mined in the last two thousand years

When our Prime Minister held back to move cautiously regarding stimulus spending, the united(?) opposition made blatant accusations about indecision and lack of leadership. We will do well to remember this, come election time, that we have sane and sensible government for the first time in many years. Let’s support Canada’s government by bringing pressure to bear where it counts: on the opposition and the unscrupulous mainstream media. This will free the government to operate without political pressure to act against their good judgment.

I couldn’t agree more! How do we get the hands of our politicians and bureaucrats out of the cookie jar? That seems to be the eternally vexing question. Perhaps appealing to our younger generation, by informing them that THEY will be paying for this boondoggle for years down the road, will turn the tide against profligate government spending.

O’K NCC:

What I would like to know and have NCC put it into a blog is what would be the Coalition’s common sense fiscal solution to the current problem? Give me (us- members) a step by step approach to the solution and the affects it would have on people, industry and the three levels of government. It is all well and good to criticize the Federal and Provincial governments for their efforts, so let’s see the NCC solution in a form that is understandable.

It looks like Gerald Celente’s prediction of tax revolts is coming to furition in the United States. Watch him on You Tube and you will be shocked at his prediction for the years ahead. I hope Canadains can muster the same courage to rally against excessive government spending and waste we are all too familiar with.

Until every, living, breathing right wing neanderthal (of which I am one) in Canada can forget their petty, one-issue grievances against Harper et al and stop withholding their votes for the Cons, Harper will have no choice but to continue pussy-footing around the politically correct, the idealogically aggrieved and the swing-voting Libs & Dippers because he won’t get elected otherwise. Helloooo! There’s no one else on the right to vote for folks!!

It’s like the red necks in Peterborough who trashed John Tory in the provincial by-election because he accepted the incumbent PC member’s offer to let him run there in her stead. Brilliant!! By withholding your votes for the PC leader, you’ve now got a Liberal MPP in your riding!! How’s it feel having cut off your nose to spite your face? Idiots. And I don’t even particularly like John Tory. But he’d be a damn sight better than the ex-teacher who’s running the province, unopposed, at the most critical juncture of the Ontario economy in 60 years. So far he’s “given” us a new long weekend, raised our taxes & increased teachers’ salaries. The “Education Premier” indeed.

Canadians are wimps when compared with Americans. A Boston tea party in Canada? Never.Too much “peace order and good government” in our approach.

The only way to kill the leviathian is to withold his lifeblood…our money. I see by the comments that many bloggers are familiar with the concepts of Austrian Economics, as espoused by people like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul, in the U.S. I would like to know if Canadians are ready to hear the free-market message of our own version of Ron Paul. Please educate yourselves and follow the advice of Gerald Celente because we are being deluded by our bureaucrats and are headed for state ownership of the means of production a.k.a. socialism. Go to www.mises.org and www.lewrockwell.com for great info.

Here we go again. At this time of year after year we realize how we are denied full benefit from the fruits of our hard work and allowed to keep the money we earned honestly. Personal income tax has been forced on us for generations since 1917 when it came into existence as a “temporary” emergency measure to help finance the increasing debt incurred during World War 1. “Only temporary” we were told again in 1991 when the hideous GST was introduced. Though here in Canada nothing endures more like the temporary.

According to The Fraser Institute, in their report published in April 2008 titled “Tax Facts 15”, personal income taxes are the largest single source of government revenue. With family expenditures on the essentials of life (shelter, food, and clothing) at 34.9%, 45.4% of cash income went to pay taxes. Taxation has not only become the most significant item that consumers face in their budgets but that it is also growing more rapidly than any other single item. During the period from 1961 to 2007, the tax bill of the average family grew by 1,704%.

For it is only because it has this enormous revenue source that the Canadian federal and provincial governments are able to institute procedures that violate the individual’s right to himself and his property. Their revenue agencies are extraordinary examples of the end justifying the means. The means of these agencies is economic growth. These agencies embody the political realities of the selfish human desire to dominate others. Thus the end of their gigantic pretense of officialdom is power, pure and simple.

This excessive and exaggerated expropriation of revenues is the greatest impediment to sustainable future initiatives, innovation and development of new technologies, preparation and implementation. This legal plunder and looting is made possible only because of our dysfunctional Canadian Constitution (PET’s poison pill) that gives our federal and provincial governments unlimited powers of taxation.

Any government that constitutionally gives itself unlimited “carte blanche” powers of taxation, if uncontested or allowed to proceed unabated, citizens will find themselves at levels of subsistence - in a world of financial apartheid where the affluent dominate and the lifestyles of middle and lower class citizens, as we know them today, is reduced to living in ghettoes. Abusive taxation continues in Canada because citizens remain complacent while aware of these economic and social injustices that include morally unethical practices of a collection agency that creates impossible situations for people, imposes further debt, obstructs progress and intimidates law abiding citizens with bank account seizures. We need to take example from our cousins to the South and take action. Complacency is the principle reason why a Canadian version of a “Boston tea party” is way long overdue in Canada.

Part 1 of 4 - Naturopathic Doctor Raided by Health Canada and RCMP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBCHlTxUqNM&feature=channel

A testimonial by Naturopathic Doctor, Eldon Dahl; describing his home and family being raided and held for 11 hours by Health Canada and the RCMP.

The GOVERNOR GENERAL is appointed by the QUEEN of CANADA, and is HER MAJESTY’S direct representative for CANADA.
This role allows the GOVERNOR GENERAL to be considered a de facto HEAD of STATE.
A de facto HEAD of STATE is not a legal, but ACTS like a HEAD of a STATE in the absence of the (official) HEAD of STATE.

This means that the authority has been unlawfully usurped (assumed).

The CRIMINAL CODE of CANADA states in Section 15: OBEDIENCE TO DE FACTO LAW - 15. No person shall be convicted of an offence in respect of an act or omission in obedience to the laws for the time being made and enforced by persons in de facto possession of the sovereign power in and over the place where the act or omission occurs. [R.S., c.C-34, s.15.]

$1.3 million awarded to man who was the target of a “CRA” raid.
The Supreme Court ruled; the CANADA REVENUE AGENCY breached the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (#8) to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.

Goverments local, provincial,and Federal consume everthing in front of them
like locusts and until their numbers and costs are put under control there
is no hope. They have no money of their own, they are hopelessly in debt, they not only have spent all they have taken off us the taxpayer they have
spent 95% of the dollar itself or why why would a dollar only by less than
5% of what it would buy in the 30’s and 40,s.
Teachings in the schools should show the students what inflation really is
like what happened to Germany after World war 1 or what is happening in Africa in a country that was Rhodesia when it was managed. Big Govt. big
self serving unions will be the end of this country too unless the taxpayers get together and withhold taxes. The other thing would be to take the printing presses away from government.

Yes we need a tea party and direct and straight action…
Taxes are killing us, not as to make Canada disappear, although that in itself is debatable, however, it is the fact that people cannot prosper in this country and offer charity at the same time, the love of our neighbor that it is the second Commandment of the two Christ gave us, yes, fro the Ten given to Moses.
But the problem is how much we are slaves of the government and how much say is left for us as individuals to truly participate in the economy. We are drawn in debt because we are being confiscated a major amount of our earnings by our own government before we can deal with our necessities of life. No, personal deductions do not cover necessities of life in the idea of actually be able to have a life, but just enough to impress those who feel in need of a nanny to carry them over to death without having to move a finger to make them any worth fro anything.
Topping this, are the many taxes being taken away, be this for goods and service or because the province we live in or because as any concerned nanny, our government decides that we should be in an environment where politicians found convincingly enough that they can again, sell to those who need a nanny to go through this life, the idea that they ‘care’ or even then after is sin, which is not recognized when man or woman engage in sodomy or when a choice is made to kill a baby just because is in the way from somebody ‘s life style, but to smokers which if would it be so harmful, why to get it over with and just straight through ban it, or fuels, which are needed and paid by everyone directly or indirectly.
The fact is that in total we are taken over 65% of our earnings and left with 35% to live and of which, naturally, we must pay interests on acquired credit to do for the other 65% and so it is much more dramatic than that.
My suggestion is to start with Income Taxes, which being removed will allow people to almost automatically reduced the other end, the interests paid side and then keep working on the need for the rest of other taxes to the point where government serves us and we are and cannot be an slave of it any longer.
Get rid of income taxes now and forever.

I’d like to call Harper our hero when it comes to lowering government spending and cutting taxes but seriously folks….

Tea isn’t even good for you so we should throw it all into the Bay along with most of the politicians starting with Gilles Duceppe.

Then have a real party.
