I finally had to give up yesterday reading the index and will complete it perhaps tomorrow we will see. But the body of the body is read and that is good. Other than that it was just a quiet day and managed all three of my 30 minute exercise periods along with my brief early morning exercises which are primarily yoga.
I watched Power and Politics avidly last night. The discussion was excellent actually as the Premier of Nunavut was on discussing the needs of his territory for infrastructure. The threat of Russia and China in the Arctic can not be overlooked and we must be attentive to protect this land for the First Nations primarily as they mostly live there but also for Canada itself as the prosperity of Canada depends on all of her land for all of her people.
Discussion on the threat of tariffs was really well done in the Power and Politics session yesterday. I was realizing that I am most bothered by the negative attitude with Pierre Poilivere always criticizing Justin Trudeau. It is constant and never ending. I just never hear what he, Pierre, plans to do if and when he becomes Prime Minister. I need to hear these things just being anti Justin Trudeau is meaningless. Stop getting sucked in and making it all about Justin Trudeau. The Liberals are wasting so much money throwing money at it to see if it will gain them votes. We need a fiscal conservative to rein in the spending and bring efficiency back to government departments. The attitude towards being in parliament is so wrong; it isn't about winning elections it is about giving us good government. We are not getting that. The CBC needs to spell check the headings on the television news as I am really tired of seeing mis-spelled words - what are we paying for. Efficiency just doesn't exist for this government which has nearly twice as many employees as in 2015. The dental plan for seniors is another example - creating an entire department to manage what is a medical issue when the provinces each have their own medical system just plain waste - give the money to the provinces and let them handle it. That along with allowing so many immigrants into the country that the infrastructure is overwhelmed and the employment rate is at 6.8% is ridiculous. But do we hear that from the opposition no it is a constant attack on Justin Trudeau with the issues somewhere in the background. I do not care to hear that and find it repulsive. We do not want any surprises. The experience with former Prime Minister Harper making so many mistakes trying to balance the budget - undermining Library and Archives Canada, having foolishly reduced the GST which funded the government - he was an economist the whole idea of doing that was ridiculous. We need a fiscal conservative - where are the Brian Mulroneys when we need them. The Leader of the Opposition needs to start talking policy instead of anti-Trudeau junk. What will you do at the border; how will you approach the tariffs if they are actually put on? What are your plans for the north? I want to see the pipeline as a Crown Corporation or better yet sell it to the First Nations do not sell it outside the country. It is an asset and belongs to the people; we paid to build it and the monies can be used in the north. Do something about the CRA being caught in fraud once again in the millions - it is ridiculous. Fire the people who caused the problem; they are paid to think not read a sheet of instructions without thinking about possible problems. We pay them to be thinkers and do the best job they can at collecting taxes. We are not seeing that. Efficiency and we do need to see that in the House and not just anti-Trudeau sentiment. Drill down on how this money is being spent and what is being done about the waste!
I must pay more attention to this riding as it has been conservative in the past and ideally the more ridings that go conservative is a good thing. But we do need to hear less about Justin Trudeau and more about policies of improving government. I suspect many people find it very annoying that there is so much waste and tossing money at things without really judging the best means of putting in some services. Fine to say that so many people now have dental care but how much did it cost and could not the provinces/territories have done it much cheaper. You could have just increased the GIS stipulating that monies needed to be used for dental care and that people needed receipts to prove that in case the CRA can get themselves organized to add that to the income tax submissions.
Big storm for today and it may alter plans we will see. Other than that I hope to finish the index and then it will be my quiet day on Sunday and cleaning to follow.
