If I had to describe myself, I would use the character of Alex P. Keaton, played by Michael J. Fox in the show Family Ties as spitting image of who I am.

Always interested in politics and money, today I find myself in a career that embodies the spirit of my interests.  As Tony Montana said in the movie Scarface, “With the money ju get the power”.

Even as a kid I would always watch Lloyd Robertson on CTV, religiously ‘Canada’s #1 News Network’ and took interest when Mike Duffy would provide his spin on the world of Canadian Politics, especially on
Parliament Hill. 

As a respected individual he was asked to sit in the Senate as a Conservative representative who clearly was a fantastic choice at the time. Unfortunately when there is no accountability regardless of political stripe it is easy to get caught up in the moment and grow a sense of entitlement that most of our Canadian politicians and representatives feel they deserve.

In Ontario the wasting of approximately $600 million dollars to scrap contracts for Gas plants, the People get a simply ‘sorry’ from the unelected and only Party appointed Premier, Kathleen Wynne for her government’s waste of public funds, it was given on TVO a station hardly watched, foregoing the public legislature.

Is it this easy to waste money and simply say sorry for the error and get away with it?

In Toronto, they mock Mayor Rob Ford especially the media,specifically The Toronto Star always trying to embarrass him.

Yet this past week, the City voted to nix the Province from imposing a multitude of taxes for the improvement of transportation which they have neglected for thirty years. The Mayor said it best, ‘find
efficiencies with the funds you have’. If they didn’t waste money on E-health, Gas Plants, Air Ambulance-Orange…etc, there would be enough funds to build a subway from Toronto to Sudbury!

I have totally lost respect for Mike Duffy and personally I am totally disgusted with the attitude of many elected individuals.

It may be time for Canada to reduce the levels of Government and eliminate useless bodies that do nothing but rape hard working Canadians from their hard earned money. It is just shameful that we accept what is unacceptable, willingly!
