Some common sense is starting to make a comeback in this country.
First the budget that is due to be tabled June 6 will include the phasing out of the voter subsidies to political parties.
Plans are being made to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly.
A bill will be introduced in June first through the Senate for senate reform that would allow for elections and set term limits.
PM Harper at the G8 summit in France resisted offering direct aid to Egypt and Tunisia instead Canada’s backing would come through its existing support of multilateral financial institutions.
He also stood firm with Israel in insisting the final document coming out of the G8 not mention the 1967 borders as starting point for peace.
PM Harper also confirmed we're not going take part in the next round of the Kyoto protocol talks later this year along with Russia,and Japan.
It's a good start and is good news for Canada if you're a common sense conservative. Not so much if you're a lefty. Heads must be exploding!
I hope to see more of this kind of stuff come out of this government over their four year term. How about doing something about the CBC and the CHRC next? That would really put icing on the cake!
