A Quiet Revolution
January 10, 2012 | Author: Jim Hnatiuk |
As a youngster I loved the game of Monopoly, and over the years that I played it I increasingly became very good at it. In fact, in the last few years that I played I very seldom lost, which unfortunately also led to very few wishing to play the game with me. Today, reminiscing some forty-five years later and analyzing the secret of my success, one ploy or tactic that I used stands out among all the rest. And that was my ability to make side deals and ask for small rule changes to make the game more fun for the benefit of everyone, while unbeknownst to most of the players, I was setting the stage only to strengthen my position.
This was all accepted as part of the wheeling and dealing in the much loved family game of Monopoly. It is certainly understood that, neither I nor anyone should ever use such a self serving strategy in real life situations. Especially so in politics; the seriousness of the life changing impacts of government decisions shouldn’t ever be treated as some kind of game. But interestingly enough, I see my same childhood tactics successfully being played out in big politics today. Those in government who hold the dice get to change the laws and far too often we are finding they are simply changing the laws to benefit themselves, while convincing Canadians that the changes are really for the benefit of the country. So, do you see the similarity?
Let me give you a few examples:
Successive governments have told Canadians that mass immigration (250,000 plus every year) is a benefit to our economy, but that is a political lie for their political gain. In effect, the governing party has recruited 250,000 more bloc voters each year and our country in return has gotten higher unemployment levels and more dangerous streets. Watch the eight minute video, Mass Immigration or Domestic Growth for more information.
Here is another: Our current government has told Canadians that deficit spending is the best way out of this global economic crisis, but funding entitlements and wasteful spending with borrowed dollars is nothing less than theft. In effect, they are buying votes today with all this borrowed money that our grandchildren have to pay back. Our country is now near $600 billion in debt! For honest economic recovery solutions see here.
Here is one more: Our government has told Canadians that they support a woman’s “right to choose,” a policy that has resulted in the yearly slaughter of over 100,000 Canadian babies in their mother’s wombs. In effect, our so called “Conservative” government, rather than leading on this serious moral issue, has traded its responsibility for votes, seeking to earn support from Canada’s increasingly secular population by keeping the debate out of parliament. You can help end this holocaust! See here.
I could go on, but I trust you are starting to see my point. Our government’s disingenuous motives stand out to me like a sore thumb. They are effectively using my old game playing Monopoly tactics, but incredibly they are doing it with people’s lives and your finances, and putting at risk the safety of all Canadians.
When someone continually manipulates the rules it makes it disheartening for anyone else wanting to get involved. Now when the government manipulates the rules and deceives Canadians, that government’s focus has turned away from the betterment of Canada to one of self-preservation for political power. That, ladies and gentlemen, leaves only one option remaining for honest law-abiding citizens who wish to fight for and protect our Canadian freedoms as we’ve always known them. We as a people also have to shift our focus to that of a “Quiet Revolution”—a revolution in thinking, speaking, acting, and voting. This is not a revolution involving guns, bombs, and tanks. But the strength of this revolution will eventually hold our government and all political parties accountable. This revolution will bring back good legislation that will protect life, your family, your freedoms, your finances, and your job.
