Happy Thursday thy sons!
Right after crafting my wily (even if cynical) blog headline about conservative ideas, I came to realize that I don’t actually remember the last time a good conservative idea came from anyone but me and a few other conservatives in Canada, rather than the Conservative Party. But I’ll go ahead and behave just like government, Conservative or otherwise: It’s there now, so it must be vital! A core function of my blog entry! A blog entry “value”! Multicultural! Inclusive! Feminist! And progressive! Well whatever. It’s there now.
Today’s great idea, which involves dumping just one of the hundreds or thousands of government “corporations” which are actually divisions of the government which compete against citizens and exert power and authority and grow government, is fraught with embarrassment. That’s because while it is an idea I’ve been espousing for, well, ever (reminder: I’m conservative and believe in freedom), today it is news only because it is put forth by an elite global government-funded agency based in F-F-F-F-France! C’est dommage! It was and is a perfectly good idea every time I have and continue to mention it —but I’m not elite. Or French. Or globally government-funded. I’m just a normal Canadian conservative. So therefore the National Post didn’t see fit to mention it when I mentioned it a thousand times before. Only now. Citizens don’t have credibility. Only elite government-funded Pairs-based organizations do. This says so much. (Hey “elite” is a French word, no?)
You’d think it would be front-page news, rather than news shoved back into the hard-core financial pages.
It’s the best idea to come out of the OECD in, well, ever. Alas, they apparently didn’t get the memo on the abhorrent waste of money and the anti-democratic and anti-freedom and free-market disgrace, the state-owned, socialism-reliant CBC, which epitomizes lack of productivity (cited as a reason to sell-off Canada Post), waste (ditto), stupidity, totalitarian progressive government, and so much more. Maybe the OECD needs more government funding.
