Is anyone minding the store?
All the political parties of Canada are working together to ensure that there is no mention, no discussion, no action, in relation to the economy. They all follow the same policy, a policy of no policy and no action.
In relation to the economy there is only one party, the "Canadian political system" party.
The Canadian political system is not governing. It is not acting. It is doing nothing. It is letting everything slide. It is criminal negligence. Here are some examples:
No action plan to put people back to work. Two million Canadians, including 250,000 young adults in the age range 25 to 29, are unemployed. No policy or plan to get those numbers down.
No action plan to control purchasing of houses and apartments in Canada by foreigners. The result is skyrocketing prices in Canada so that people who actually live in Canada cannot afford to buy a house or apartment.
No action plan to keep car manufacturing in Canada. Forty years ago Japanese car manufacturers were told to manufacture in Canada if they want to sell cars in Canada. Now this principle is being thrown aside. General Motors got a bail-out from Canada in 2009 but our thank-you is that GM now wants to move out. Our economy is already weak. If we lose our car manufacturing, our economy will be destroyed completely.
No action plan to control importation of manufactured goods. The imbalance between our exports and our imports increased by 660 percent in the last ten years. We are bleeding out to pay for foreign-made goods that are not balanced by our exports. $120.7 billion in 2014.
No action plan to prevent sales of Canadian companies to foreign interests. Our economy is withering as we lose our best companies, our technology, and often our jobs. Sale of a Canadian company to foreign interests creates no benefit to Canada whatsoever. Remember how Jack sold the family cow in town and came back with a handful of beans? But they were magic beans while our beans are simply beans.
No action plan to control the size of the foreign-owned sector in Canada. Nothing to prevent giant foreign companies, Walmart, Home Depot, Nordstrom, from moving into Canada at will and doing whatever they please. Our economy is bleeding out because foreign-owned companies send the profits back home. And when we sell a Canadian company to foreign interests, we convert a Canadian company into a foreign-owned company and increase the bleed-out.
The list could go on. A policy of no action is still a policy on an issue. The Canadian political system is wrong on every issue.
Please take a look at our free on-line book, revised based on 2014 data. We take not 400 or 700 pages, but just over 50 pages, to show in detail what the problems are and what corrective actions are needed:

Do we want to continue our present downward path to destruction, or do we want to turn Canada around and put Canada on an upward path to prosperity?
Who benefits from destruction and why? There is enough room in Canada for everyone to be on the upward path!
