The Problem With Quebec

Is that it's run by robotic bureaucrats. 

Likely armed with little versions of Marx's theories and other bags of anti-free enterprise cliches so prevalent on the fucking internet these days. They tolerate business, they don't believe it plays a vital role in society.

I saw a Chevy Volt on the road today decked with sponsorship stickers: ATM, STL, Hydro. You know, bastions of free-enterprise. And I sat there waiting for my wife to return with my Southwest chicken wrap meal thinking these people honestly believe they can foster and force innovation this way.

It's really remarkable when you think of it. All this "planning." 

Did you know that private pre-schoolers are no longer allowed to sell their business?

Nope.

You shut down or keep going.

This is how they "run" an economy. They command it.

Of course, because private means they don't fall under control of the government. In Quebec, L'il Bolshevikia, that's a bad thing. 

Who gets to make these decisions? I always look on in marvel whenever I see businessmen before bureaucrats on TV at various public hearings. In daycare for example, we have to go to explain to the bureaucrats that every decision they make can negatively impact thousands of people.

And for what? To build up a social-welfare appearance?

And you're gonna tell me we live in a "democracy?" It's socialism by other means.

Quick word on the upcoming Montreal elections.

In my view, vote for Cote or the young girl (I forget her name). Denis Coderre's party is filled with the same folks who ran the show previous. Coderre represents the establishment and that's the last thing Montreal needs.

But I have a feeling Montrealers will vote him in because that's the wrong thing to do.
