The Horses Tell the Story
Right from colonial days Canadians have been hitched to a cumbersome parliamentary system of government. The poster shows the Canadian horse harnessed to an overloaded wagon of unnecessary spending that has stunted the nation's growth and robbed the Canadian people of their freedom of expression and individuality. If Canada had been a republic it would be a very different country to what we have now. Canada would have been a land of free people and our growth, culturally and economically, would have proportionally matched America's.
The land from coast to coast, 4000 miles of it ranging north to the Arctic, is incredibly beautiful with all the ingredients to be a wealthy, prosperous society with a potential to provide the highest standard of living on earth! Instead we are in a tax hell and discouraged.
I compare Canada politically to a family; husband, wife and children where the husband is a drunk squandering the family income on booze. They eventually wind up on welfare.
Over the last century Ottawa has demonstrated the same drunken control of our nation's income. Spending our vast income resource on foolish programs of their choosing, mainly against the wishes of the majority of Canadians. Our national debt has risen to such a level that the interest payments are more than we can bear.
In Canada too much power is vested in unelected leaders. The Prime Minister is not elected to office, neither are our provincial premiers. These unelected people appoint the senates and the senior civil servants. It is this unelected gang that controls our elected representatives. It is a parliamentary mess. In a republic the supreme power is in the hands of the people! Look it up. Shouldn't we be free?
This wagon should never have been hitched to our horse in the first place! There is not a damned rock on the load that should ever have been on the wagon. Every rock represents costs to the revenue base of Canada that the free enterprise republic to the south of us would never invest a cent in. This is why they are the wealthiest country on earth while we remain broke and continue to go down hill. We cannot progress into the twenty-first century very far dragging this heavy, useless load. Freedom and success are within reach for every Canadian. The reason I wrote this book is because I believe that the freedom lovers outnumber those that are loyal to that Canadian horse and wagon twenty to one.
I reach out all Canadians, all of whom are fed up with our tax hell; also to the discouraged and disillusioned separatist parties of Quebec, B.C. and the Prairie Provinces. A house divided will fall, everybody loses. Strength and vitality come with unity through a republican form of government. The parliamentary system of government has totally failed to unify the country and give us a standard of living equal to America that we should all enjoy now.
