The budget goes a bit in the right direction but still needs more

Terence Corcoran: Fiscal fight left for another day | FP Comment | Financial Post

The Edmonton Journal


Maybe it is not just fiscal conservatism what is needed, because money can be used one way or the other to make people feel happy.
Yes, there is much more to be done about reducing expenditures and there is much more to be done about reducing the size of the government and limiting it, but without true spirit of intention, without principle;  it will be very difficult to reach any end but to keep satisfying the death collectivism (Liberal and NDP ideals and PCP deeds) has imposed on Canada.
That spirit needs to come as a true social reform, not by embracing and trying to keep nurturing and watering the socialism the collectivist society has cultivated, but rather by rejecting it by recognizing the individual and families as the true potential for the economy to grow and prosper. Freeing families and individuals by reducing and eliminating so many taxes, is imperative.
Taxes need to be drastically reduced and the social ‘medicine’ of the past decades imposed by the Liberal mentality, repealed and refused by legislation.
As scared as the establishment is of the social conservatism idea, by pretending to be just a bit or actually a lot; fiscal conservative, all it is achieved is but to perpetuate what the ‘science’ of collectivist elitism has built; an economy that marries government with its friends and protégées and which establishes that it is only the government who can produce anything viable despite of how absurd or damaging it results, to the nation, culture and the economy altogether. Selfishness is not any good option; love is alone with the truth, humility and forgiveness; the foundation of Christian faith.
Watching CTV News last night, it was presented as highlights of the budget that Canadian businesses now had to work harder to compete with the business south of the border. I think the positive point should be that Canadians for much too long have to survive with the excessive high prices north of the border, not to mention the lack of diversification in the offering.  Maybe is the taxes, maybe the regulations, maybe the greed of the businesses, but the reality is that the cost of living in Canada has become well over the truth of the state of the economy. How is it that having the United States a much more impacting crisis than we experience, their economy seems to be offering much more, as it was before their depression.
One key issue which does not seem to be touched is the price of gas which seems to be out of control and which yes, it affects everyone’s pocket and chances of survival. Canadian businesses maybe need to change the aims of their defense towards all government levels denying everyone the benefit of a competitive economy. Now there will be something to start reacting against, but should not be the flexibility of going across the border, which actually impacts on the personal freedoms of every Canadian, but on everything that makes doing business in Canada, such a difficult task. Canadians go over the border to buy because they do not find anything comparable in Canada.
Another highlight was the 10% over three years ‘affecting’ the CBC. My suggestion was and still is for 100% and now.
This government supported outlet needs to compete on its own, with the rest of the private sector outlets and really get into the real life, onto the business world. If they have something good to offer, the people will support them, not by forcing the ones that don’t like it to pay, but by paying them to keep it going. The CBC keeps propagating collectivist fantasies because they are never exposed to lose anything, always hiding behind potential political persecution but politically persecuting everyone not in their political agenda.
 If the people like them, they should be able to stand on their own, and if not, they should close, like any other business.  The existing talent in their payroll, if good, then should not have any trouble competing for jobs at other companies in need for them.
If the government cannot sell them, they should be dismantled and otherwise, just converted into relay stations in the north to propagate other outlets work.
The rest of the highlights were on, of course, how the neediest were going to lose government subsides, being these of course, for the TV audience, the weak and innocent ones. These people care about the weak and innocent ones when the budget appears to go against their greedy ambitions, otherwise, try for the government to go blind, deaf and mute to encourage the systematic killing of the weak, innocent and needed in the name of the selfishness of individualism.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
