What are news, COVID-19 and the new government at the foot of the cabin doors. Certainly, the melody line that stretches today is the abrupt abandonment of the parliamentary government, the defining institution of the Canadian Confederation, sometime in the spring months of 2020.
Likewise, all that ceremony and history, everything is gone, as well as the sergeant-at-arms, the speech from the throne, the guardian of his rights and privileges. The commons itself, a chamber rich in memories, where the souls of the prime ministers and the great parliamentarians of the past still remain.
Meanwhile, it has been expressed that we currently have its modern replacement, a pure dream of a government, an unopposed one, free to spend the money wherever it wants, in whatever amount it chooses, whom it favors. All executed during what is called a “morning briefing”. Which is that their leader appears, alone, making announcements of enormous amounts of money to be fired in all directions, to an attentive and obedient press gallery.
Current policies
The new policy is clear. It’s the Liberal Government at the bottom of the cabin doors (LGBCD), chaired by the nation’s most honored tenant, the Prime House Guest (PHG). Which has been indicated to be very aerodynamic.
So far, over the 40 days, we’ve had this innovation, a low estimate indicates that the total amount dispensed is $ 200 billion. In the old system, getting that amount approved and going outside would have taken months. It would have required the presentation of a budget and would have been harassed during the question period, the finance committees of the House of Representatives, and the supervision of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) immediately thanked LGBCD for their generosity, which, everyone agrees, has been impeccable in handling the current crisis and excellent in maintaining good relations with the Chinese communist government.
Now $ 850 million may seem like a pittance compared to the other loot that the LGBCD has been throwing away. But before being totally derogatory, keep in mind that this was more than THREE times the amount allocated to Canadian farmers, a notoriously grumpy group, many of whom don’t even live in Ontario or Quebec. And it was also almost TWICE the $ 500 million given to Canadian arts and culture groups, which while more respectful than farmers, maybe a little clandestine and full of themselves.
