No problem, boot them out of the country and nationalize their factories. About time Canada took charge of car production and reduced its reliance on the USA and crappy multi-national car makers.

I love the vibe but we would have to address the legalities. Once that is done we would also have to come to grips with foreign investment drying up. I say we can do it, but nobody, including yourself, would be willing to accept the resulting standard of living. I'm not sure how we get from under the current system but we should be pursuing that at every turn.

This implies most people will roll over and accept corporate fascism and foreign control to maintain their standard of living. Which is not necessarily false. But is that what you believe?

Unfortunately I do. I'm not sure what else to say. I've written a sentence and then deleted three times. I appreciate that it sounds defeatist and that's not what I believe. I just see too many people complaining about situations they say need fixing without any mention of how they think that can happen. Many of the fixes would be detrimental the the economy because that is ultimately the problem in the first place, that we rely so heavily on it's structure. There are hundreds of approaches to the thousands of issues we face but if you tried to run for government outlining the hard fixes to pursue, you would be run out of town. I for one plan to be run out of town pretty soon, as soon as my domestic circumstances allow me the freedom to "kick bubble gum and chew ass". God I laughed at that South Park line.
