Canadian socialists take perverted step down slope of non-market wage controls in non-market “corps”

First of all, socialists, snap out of it.  There you go. 

The Ontario secretariat of the you’ve got to be kidding party, the NDP, wants to cap salaries of every public or “crown” (oh God please let me say this sarcastically one more time!) SO-CALLED, and QUOTE-UNQUOTE“corporations”, at oh, you know, double the Ontario politicians’ NDP leader Andrea Horwathsalaries.  Just why Ontario politicians’ salaries are their sacred benchmark, I do not know. Perhaps they really do believe that the world revolves around them and their model of perfection.  (And just why they think they can’t already “cap” salaries of their own employees at their own government division is completely unclear to me as a normal, clear thinking and sober Canadian.  But I guess even the sound of the words “corporation” and “CEO” — even if they’re state-owned entities and employees — makes the Ontario leader’s head explode with fear and loathing and their insatiable need to regulate and intervene and control and engineer and limit and…)

“NDP seeks cap on public CEO salaries”

TORONTO—The salaries of publicly-paid CEOs from Ontario hospitals, universities and Crown agencies should be capped at $418,000—double the salary of Premier Dalton McGuinty, according to a private member’s bill proposed Wednesday. …

HERE’S A BETTER IDEA!
  Why not cap all politician salaries to, say, oh, double that of the average Canadian citizen?  What would that make it?  $60,000 per year instead of $209,000 for the Ontario Premier; and of course an identical $60,000 (everybody’s equal, remember socialists?) for brother (comrade?) Layton’s MP salary of $157,731.00 plus his additional socialist party leadership salary of $53,694.00, for his total of $211,425.  That’s quite a saving!  Ontario MPPs get a base salary of $116,550, plus expenses, but that’s just a bare minimum base.  Imagine cutting their salaries nearly in half!  We could lower taxes! 

Hello?  NDP leader Andrea Horwath?  Where’d you go you little scamper?!

OR BETTER YET!
  How about capping salaries of all politicians in Canada — even Ontario’s — to double that of the average self-employed Canadian businessman’s private enterprise profit?  That would be quite a saving for Canadian taxpayers, and possibly an incentive to stop socialists and other progressives from constantly cutting self-employed citizens off at their knees with taxes and myriad red tape;  stop progressive politicians and governments from competing against their own citizens as they do with the CBC and VIA RAIL and several other crown SO-CALLED, and QUOTE-UNQUOTE“corporations”;  and would encourage them to eliminate all manner of other progressive intrusions and meddling in the business lives all of Canadians which reduces their profitability, and thus the take-home pay of NDP and other progressive politicians.

Hey did I say double the salaries of private enterprise profits?  What am I thinking?  HALF of their salaries would be fair.  Not double.  HALF.  Nobody works harder and takes more risks than free-market, private enterprise business men and women.

Where’d that Andrea Horwath go?  Hey should we send out a search party for that NDP leader?  Andreaaa!

ADDITIONAL IDEA!
  Why not also suggest completely shuttering — or selling back to the private sector where they always belonged and would do better, cheaper — nearly every public or “crown” SO-CALLED (yadda) “corporation”? 

Andreaaa!  Yoo hoooo!  Yikes.  She vanished.  Does Ontario have a crown search party “corporation”?
