Canadian Politics and Political Economy: Ideological Incompetence and Planned Paradoxes!
Nipawin - Monday, June 11, 2001 - by: Mario deSantis
misspending	Our political and bureaucratic leadership seems unable to learn new ways of thinking and
	continues the fixing of our social and economic system by further downsizing, further
	misspending and further savings of money. Health care, in Canada, is principally not a
	matter of being private or public but a matter of good management and economics(1).
planned social paradoxes	Economic growth in Canada is not a matter of productivity but the problem of a decadent
	political and bureaucratic leadership(2). We live in an environment of planned social
	paradoxes, and as I am concerned, I believe that paradoxes exist only because we fail to
	understand that there are more stories to a single reality.
Romanow	So we have the paradox that Roy Romanow is going to fix the Canadian health care system
	after he downsized Saskatchewan health care, the Saskatchewan people, and the Saskatchewan
	economy.
Chrétien	Imagine this, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has discovered the failure of his own
	government in directing economic policies in the past(3), and has now put Minister
	of Industry Brian Tobin(4) and Minister of Human Resource Jane Stewart(5) in charge
	of drafting the government's blueprint for increasing productivity and in turn raising the
	standard of living of Canadians(6).
Calvert	Imagine these other stories related to the vicious circled mentality of our leaders; our
	own banks, whose tight monetary policies have been partially responsible for downsizing
	the economy(7), are now preaching the gospel to overtake the US's lead in the standard of
	living in the next 15 years(8), while our Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert has drafted
	a sixteen goal strategic plan to increase the provincial standard of living by 20% in the next
	five years(9) as our Saskatchewan economy has taken a turn for being the worst in Canada(10).
