Most ichthyologists will tell you, smelt are small, oily fish that travel in large schools seemingly without leadership and sometimes I am given to wonder whether Canada isn’t a nation of smelt. As a not-so-proud citizen of Canada, I feel it necessary to apologize for the boorishness of the Government of Canada in general and Canadian voters in particular for kicking off an election on this day. As my friend Art Weinreb wrote in these pages, dropping the writ for a general election on the 18th anniversary of 9/11 amounts to a poke in the eye for Uncle Sam............
In this repressive, politically correct environment, I think people are not open about their intentions so they tell pollsters what they think they want to hear
- Proportional representation (abandoned after the election was won)
- Balancing the budget (never going to happen)
- Responsible economic stewardship (Under the Liberals foreign investment in Canada is rapidly disappearing)
- Brain drain to the US (where taxes are a fraction of what they are in Canada)
