357,000 Canadians have lost their jobs since October of last year and analysts predict the situation will only get worse. The large number of unemployed Canadians can expect competition for the few jobs available to only get more intense as their ranks are expected to swell by a further 20%. The unemployment rate, according to government numbers, has risen to over 8% and is expected to break the 10% mark before the situation starts to brighten.

Even the Economic Powerhouse of Alberta is suffering massive job losses and their provincial government recently announced their deficit for 2009 is rising fast as well. BC and Ontario are experiencing a similar slowdown of the overall economy with dramatic job losses of their own and excessive deficit spending.

Social Safety Nets such as Food Banks are seeing unprecedented increases in overall need. With numbers climbing faster than have ever been witnessed before. This is spawning a lack of general resources for these local Food Banks and an inability to meet the needs of their clients.

Government intervention is to blame here. The solution is not more intervention. The Free Market System would quickly, albeit painfully, rectify this ongoing depressive economic tailspin we find ourselves in. The Canadian Government and Governments around the world need to stop meddling with their respective economies with fix after fix, bailout after bailout and meanwhile racking up huge amounts of debt. The entire issue, as macro as it appears to be, is really not that hard to understand. It all boils down to intervention and the self-righteous expectation of these monstrous corporations, their ideologically socialist unions and the representatives we vote for who really don't represent anything other than what their party leadership tells them to. Should they fail to toe the party line they are swiftly dealt with as to serve as a lesson to the remaining MPs.

This type of politics must end in Canada. Representatives must be free to represent their constituents without fear of repercussions and without threats made to their status, position or party affiliation. A Member of Parliament must be allowed to dissent, A voter must be allowed to dissent, A citizen must be allowed to dissent. "It's what makes the system work" one might say.

Silenced dissent is not democratic and it's fails to serve anyone other than those in power.

  • I didn't know there was a Libertarian party in Canada!... Is there? Cause i might just vote for it! :)

  • There is!

    Join the Libertarian Party of Canada

    libertarian (dot) ca

  • Cool! Can you tell me if this party is similar to the one in America?

  • While they are similar, the American Party has been around considerably longer and has a wider reach.

    The Canadian Libertarian Party is beginning to gain a foothold now but there is still more to do and more Canadians to reach.

    However, with all major political parties in Canada all left of center we need a Libertarian voice now more than we have ever needed it before.

    Government must stop it's reckless expansion.

    The rights of the collective now seem to surpass those of the individual.

  • Liberals are neo conservatives NDP require more seats in the senate

    to really create any opposition. Conservatives help out big business

    & corporations while shafting the working class. Can't believe Harper

    back in power! Welcome to the extended shaft people, bend over and

    smile cause its going to keep on hurting big time!!

  • So the libraterians will recreate the job loss. Are we this gullable to believe

    that politcal parties really give a toss about the working class? All goverments

    and parties are SELF SERVING!! The conservatives were reelected and we

    will suffer higher national dept & unemployment regardless who's in power.

  • @Rob2977 Because 85% of Canada’s economy is based on selling things to Americans, Obama’s all out assault on the U.S.’ capitalist economic engine will destroy Canada as well. To save Canada, humanity greatest/vilest deficit spender, Obama, must be stopped!

    Socialism destroys lives, not by the hundreds of millions, but by the billions.

  • When we sanction 'envy' and its demands by camouflaging it as 'social justice,' this quest becomes “the most anti-social and evil of all passions." - John Stuart Mill and F.A. Hayek

  • He cuts goverment jobs.. put out this HST ...and his answer is ...USA...time to step down buddy..we don't give a rats ass how Americans are doing ...they have their own Gov and I'm sure people put there word out for this problem ...do you see Americans say " look at canada there gaining up with us" so it's not so bad...Liberal is the way to go..everybody knew that..I think the poles were tampered nobody I know voted for Harper!

  • thanks government pricks,,,,,, everyone make the move to freeman and pound these assholes to the ground..........the deserve it............

  • I agree. Maybe not exactly for the same reasons as you but i do.

    I'm guessing the Canadian Libertarian Party is inexistent in Quebec? That's where I'm at.
