Dear Editor,
I was wondering if you would reprint this letter that had been written by Bill McCallum and published in the Winnipeg Sun in your letters to the editor column of the ECA Review.
A look at the recent changes in the USA shows what ‘undefined’ change can look like.
The Conservative government got us through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression – Canadians say they want change.
The government reduced the GST by two percentage points, a 30 per cent reduction on a tax that we pay on everything – Canadians say they want change.
The government introduced pension splitting for retirees (this benefits my wife and me and most of my retired friends, and we are not rich) – Canadians say they want change.
The government instituted tax free savings accounts, which benefit anyone willing to save – Canadians say they want change.
The government has negotiated a number of international trade deals which will stand us in good stead in years to come – Canadians say they want change.
The government stands four square in favour of Israel, a country threatened with extinction by a vastly larger contingent in the area, and the only democracy in the Middle East – Canadians say they want change.
My question to those Canadians who want change is which of the foregoing would you like to change, why, and what would you replace them with?
