Even in Canada Health care costs have reached the “tipping point”.
Recent research indicates the cold , hard economic reality that even in Canada with its informal subsidizes of defense costs by the good old USA is having trouble to fund its sc called all inclusive health care system that many liberal Americans beg to copy without full and thorough investigation.
Arab money in the US and a vibrant 5th column By: Stew Mayers Back in the 1930s various socialist and Marxist groups decided that orthodox-Western civilization could only be destroyed from within. Gramsci, the Frankfurt school, Derrida and the post-modernists along with others observed that a flanking movement which took over the media, the political elite and the university system, was the only feasible plan to achieve Marxist domination of the Western nation state. We can see the results of their insight today. A vibrant 5th column of socialistic thought and Marxian analysis dominates the above mentioned sectors of our political-economy. Now we see the same attack from Arabs and Islamic radicals. It is extremely advanced in Europe – but its most vital victim is fast becoming the USA.

US market dynamism! By: Stew Mayers Paul Krugman, arrogant heir apparent for the mantle of chief cheerleader for demand-side Keynesian nonsense wrote on December 1 in the New York Times, [also known as the Jihad Guardian]: “The last time things were this confused was early in 2001, when most economists failed to realize that the United States was sliding into recession. If that sounds ominous, it should: the bond market, which has a pretty good record of forecasting recessions, is pointing toward a serious economic slowdown next year…” Tags: Craig Read, productivity, social spending in Canada, Competitiveness in Canada, Confederat
Natural Law and ‘Conservative’ thought By: Stew Mayers The definition of what is a ‘conservative’ and what informs conservative thought covers an incredible range of philosophies. Paleo-cons, neo-cons, libertarians, social conservatives, ‘compassionate’ conservatives, orthodox liberals, free-traders, constitutional conservatives, objectivists and many others populate the conservative ideological continuum. Most of these movements are only partially conservative and some are not conservative at all. So what would a real conservative actually look like?

Trade: Softwood Lumber disputes and Soft Canadian heads By: Stew Mayers Canada illegally subsidizes its softwood lumber industry.In fact about $4 billion per annum in various taxpayer funded transfers are given to the unionized lumber industry.This is not a surprise. Canadian trade policy has always been ‘managed’ trade.Outside of the key auto and auto parts sectors, very little in Canada is subject to ‘free trade’ with the USA.Yet Canadian media and politicians want the public to believe that in softwood lumber – an industry with 300.000 jobs and worth $70 billion per annum – there is a free and fair trade with the USA.This is laughable.

Lumber - an example of Canadian trade hypocrisy By: Stew Mayers You have to love a country that disengages itself from reality so often. The Canadians – smug, moralistic, largely ignorant about history, economics and the world at large – declare themselves superior, intelligent and advanced. The Multi-Cult club of anti-Western, anti-American and anti-Jewish policy reigns beloved. Whole industries lie under government control to the detriment of bank accounts and morality. Boards manage all commodities excluding oil. Lumber which is a politically sensitive and vital regional jobs program in many parts of the country is massively subsidized by more than $4 billion per annum. Yet to hear the Canadians chatter about lumber you would think that they are pristine virtuous virgins engaged in acts of morality while the hated Americans are planning the destruction of thousands of unionized Canadian jobs and the shuttering of Canadian villages dependent on the lumber trade. The fact that Canada will forever subsidize its lumber and never solve the systemic problems in the lumber trade highlights the poverty of big socialism.

Fat, overweight, look like a pear? No problems you have the Fat Gene! By: Stew Mayers It is only a matter of time of course. Any deviancy, hardship, or under-performance will be blamed on inadequate DNA. Holding genes responsible for all failings gives the little minds of the world – [those who believe in global warming, the gay gene, that Islam is peaceful etc.] – taxpayer money for ‘studies’; ready excuses for being a group of losers; and a post-modern exit from high culture. It is in fact an important part of Marxist post-modern thought. Tags: Craig Read, productivity, social spending in Canada, Competitiveness in Canada, Confederat
The crushing burden of the high tax mommy-state By: Stew Mayers Consider the example of Toronto - the economic engine of Canada. The city-state does 2/3 of its business with the USA and supports the growing resource industry in Western Canada with financial expertise and capital. Yet it sits inside a middle-sized country that does not even have internal free trade. In respect of socialist management [and a Constitutional buy-off of regions], Toronto must export $20-25 billion per annum to fund the rest of the country. This does not make economic sense when the infrastructure, tax structure and social/welfare burdens in Toronto are in dire straits. Welcome to the fantasy world of the modern socialist state.

Car insurance and government incompetence - high taxes, fraud and regulatory waste. By: Stew Mayers Car insurance. A recent study maintains that in the good Canadian Democratic Republic [D.R.] car insurance rates are only 30% higher than in the US, and only, [in the industrialized heartland of the communal paradise], running at $1300 per year. Sure they are. I don’t know of one single person amongst say 100, which has a car insurance rate that low in Canada’s urban heartland. Car insurance rates are far higher than some accounting ‘mean’ average and as government regulation increases, so does fraud, rates, and consumer frustration. In Canada alone I counted 59 regulatory bodies and agencies involved the car insurance market – am I to believe that all of these are to protect me and to benefit me? Doubtful.

A comparison of tax rates in the OECD By: Stew Mayers A critical component for the elite of the current nation state is the statist and populist desire to control the resources of production and to manage the distribution of wealth and to a lesser extent consumption. This has meant that in the West we have seen an increase in the practice of private property (income streams) and capital (taxation, regulation, foreign investment controls, regulation and control of key industry sectors, FDI limitations), expropriation by the state. These ‘borrowed’ monies are then redistributed in various guises to the working classes, the old, those below certain income ranges, people in certain regions, state sponsored industry sectors, health and welfare programs, and state building programs of all sizes and shapes.
