Over the years somethings have irked me to a unprecedented level. These are to provoke you thinking about solutions to the bull shit we hear everyday about crap ....So much so that if I were to run for office I would run on these factors (list then later a explanation why):
1. The Right to Repair
2. Abolish all treaties with First Nations
3. Outsourcing Labour to foreign countries made illegal.
4. Hydro - 1 cheap rate.
5. Brain Drain Fee.
6. Free University for All Citizens.
7. Engineering Practices change.
8. Right to bear Arms
9. Crime.
10. Food self sustaining for Canada.
11. Canadian Recycling program
All these things could take a book to go into detail, but I think it is something that all Canadians should be thinking about. Not just their bank account, house and how they pay bills. Its a step beyond and if we don't look into the future we will surely languish in the future.
1. The Right to Repair.
Most manufactures design their product to fail after a certain amount of time. A lot of it is in certain part that will fail, so they make it harder to replace that just 1 part. Eg The 777 artillery piece, the diode in a car's alternator. The 777 artillery piece has a backlog on parts, which was designed into the weapon. The diode a $1.00 cost, you need to buy a new alternator (200.00) if that diode fails. The biggest rip off is communized farming equipment that fails on a constant basis and requires a shop visit, because the computer program is designed to fail and you can't use the tractor for harvest season. Held for ransom is what I call this.
The solution is to legislate that any manufacturer must make it easy to repair the equipment they sale.
2. Abolish all treaties with First Nations
Well this one is a doozy.. Just say they are now Canadian citizens (which they are, they are allowed to vote in Canadian elections). No land Reparations (the ideal here is that the British and French took control of all now Canadian Lands away from the indigenous tribes and put them on reservations). No need to consult them on stuff (its in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms). Loss of all fishing and hunting rights ( they get the same as any Canadian and have to buy licenses for fishing and hunting).
The land reparations alone will cost Cdn taxpayers Trillions, so Cdn save money there. Also the reservation could be taxed provincially ( income for province). The First Nations all will have the Canadian rights just like we do, which they currently have (using the Canadian court system and using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms). The Charter of Rights allowing First Nations to be consulted is a level of complexity that the people of Canada can not have; due to the increases the level of bureaucracy
Canada does not need. The foremost reason against this Charter of Right issue, is they do not process the legal and or professional requirements (eg they are not environmental engineers). They would like any other Canadian have the right to know about stuff going on in their community. eg a pipeline goes through the city of Kelowna.
The fishing and hunting rights are downsizing as cities encroach on the wilderness that is increasingly rural if not in the outskirts of towns and cities across Canada. They can get their food from where all Canadians get their food, grow it themselves, get fishing or hunting licenses, or go to the grocery store....(look at that they mostly do that now, just level out everyone's rights....). This also takes away the rights of someone living in the states from hunting in Canada.
The question is not about their historical discontentment with European Colonial policies (which is their current arguments and whining), but do the First Nations want to live in equality with all other Canadians. Personally I think I would hear less bitching about shit from First Nations.
3. Outsourcing Labour to foreign countries made illegal.
This has to do with Canadian companies outsourcing call center to foreign companies and to a lesser degree of outsourcing data entry/holding (eg BC medical files) in foreign countries. The root of this is that I am looking at the USA and its outsourcing of manufacturing to the Far East (Japan, Korea, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, India etc) from the early 70s onward, where American Manufacturing went overseas to save on Money and the American people were left without jobs.
This will entail job security for future generations and expand our Canadian economy too. Also holding data within our country that other countries will not be able to access to like the US can under it homeland security. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/health-data-cloud-servers-canada-us-1.7597441
4. Hydro - 1 cheap rate
Hydro's 2 tier rate system is just a money grab. Look at Tier 1, it constitutes the energy you house is supposed to use during summer months. (although I could argue that it s doesn't include electronic devices that have increased in home us usage (3-4 ipads, 3 TVs, 3-4 phones, video game consoles etc). Tier 2 at the higher rate means that when you turn on the electric heat you pay a higher rate in winter for your heat.
Most people use electric heat as that has been the thing since the 80s. All oil/gas furnances are being replaced by electric forced air or baseboard heaters. Reling more on the provincial hydro carrier. Also people with off grid electricity production show also be given the same rate at which the electric company charges you. (Equal in all senses). Also to note, fireplaces are hard to put into new construction.
5. The Canadian Brain Drain.
The government and economy has to get together to solve it. To prevent people from leaving, any American company headhunting in Canadian universities will have to pay a. Upfront fee per university to recruit, and b. Pay system back a fee of 2,000,000.00 for a sucessfull recruitment. I'm going total capitalist on this one....
6. Free University for All Citizens. There is enough money in Canada to provide financial assistance to everyone that wants to go to university.
a. New rules for Canada student loans. Only simple interest applies for payback. No interest during educational time.
b. Creation of wealth free funds for people to invest in, the funds focus is on providing bursaries and gifts for students studying in Canada. Not a tax write off for investors. No internal payoffs etc.
c. Universities need to have jobs for students so they can make their own money some how....I haven't really thought this one through yet.
7. Engineering Practices change.
Engineers design products to fail. So in 5-8 years you have to replace it again. Its a consumerism effect, so the company stays in business. #1 The Right to Repair is a result of this replacement design, with consumers ending up paying more in the long term. Most people don't see it, as goods are cheap. My parents brought 1 toaster and it still working today.
I would like to see things designed for the long term, house for 200 years (really means cement type house) to be able to expand (higher floors for future use).
More net-zero housing
8. Right to bear Arms
Every one should have the right to have rifles and handguns unless your a proven criminal. I don't think there should be a magazine law, I thing the more bullets in a magazine the better. I also think that people that have served in military should have the right to "open carry" provided they have a honourable discharge (wont happen but I put it in here). I'm more on the level of "StarShip Troopers" author Robert A Heilein on his book where he thinks that citizen ship should be proven to the state through service in the Military or through Civil Service., only citizen can vote. Everyone else have certain rights but not to vote. Maybe I just want to see the military get a 20 round magazine for shotguns, the best close encounter weapon ever invented.
The current Liberals are wrong with limiting guns in Canada. 1. look south. 2.. This desire to eliminate guns is not about guns but about how people interact with each other (I would never say its about very bad Liberal policies on wokeness and child gender taught in schools and universities today, that is the fucken problem). In Canada if you are carrying a handgun in a city, you are about to commit a crime. There is no other reason to carry a handgun in a city. A handgun in the wilderness for protection against wolves and bears is a good reason to carry.
9 Crime.
Murder -planned with more than 2 adults, A child/teenager, you get the death penalty. Way too many people going "what are you going to do to me" with your lax laws. I just get jail time. Murder and you are on drugs- Life in prison no paroll, or your choice in a 20 year chain gang...
You use a gun during a crime, add on 10 year hard labour. no exceptions. I don't care if your are handicapped, you do the crime, you fucken pay....
No sueing the victim, if you are doing a criminal act in Canada. or abroad.
House invasions-- the owner/resident can shoot you in the back.... I'm just fed up with the liberal "" ohh the criminal is a victim of circumstance"" which is pure bullshit...You invade someones house, they should bury you 6 feet under....
10. Food self sustaining for Canada.
Canada's got a problem at the grocery store. People don't make enough food for themselves due to city living and the ending of rural farms. (thier kids go on and do different things). Co-op Farms (investors put up the money for greenhouses). Farmers need to have winter Greenhouses big enough to support 5-9 households.
Greenhouses mean more glass production.
12. Canada Recycling Program
Canada is behind in technology to recycle. We need to increase our recycling about 1000%. Get rid of landfills, recycle landfills, even those with subdivisions above them. Plastics, metals can all be recycled, new technologies invented or revived.
Look alot of Canadian laws are about common sense. Unfortuneately its not about commone sense anymore, its about over reaction by fucken Karens...
1. The Right to Repair
2. Abolish all treaties with First Nations
3. Outsourcing Labour to foreign countries made illegal.
4. Hydro - 1 cheap rate.
5. Brain Drain Fee.
6. Free University for All Citizens.
