Dear Mr. Broadbent:
Your letter is honest and the first non-hype I have received from the
NDP. I was about to write-off your party but I am happy to note you
are still part of the party.
There are Two serious problems with politics. 1. is pretentious
pomposity and 2, beaurocratic regulations which take years to
implement and which often fail when they are implemented! In other
words nothing changes and the imperial economic status quo remains the
same with corporate lobbyists pushing for undeserved tax breaks for
their companies. Companies such as Oil and Gas and Car continue to
dominate our Canadian economy but not for much longer. If the N.D.P.
wants to profit from future economic trends, I suggest creating
government owned Plastic recycling plants and water filtration plants
as well as water pipelines. It will shift our economy from pumping gas
into the atmosphere to using oil and recycled Plastic for creating
plastic pipes and planks and plastic insulated Blocks. Why Plastic?
Because there are millions of Tonnes of free plastic floating in our Oceans
and sitting in recycle bins across Canada.
With 90 percent going to waste it is not honestly being
recycled. Plastic is dangerous to our Ocean fish and it helps create
global warming. With building materials created from Plastic, there
will be less demand to cut Trees from what is left of our Forests.
I suggested years ago a unity of Green with NDP to form a stronger
bond but it was the Green Party that refused to merge. This time
around I was happy to hear how Vancouver Greens united with D-Pers to
form a new government.
What makes me nervous is the fact that a socialist NDP government
needs Tax money to distribute to certain segments of the general
population. It will not hurt so much if across Canada home owners are
provided with free 4x4x2 garden boxes and free vegetable and flower
seeds with full growing instructions, compliments of the Canadian
government. Distributing these Plastic containers will work as well as
the large Blue Recycling containers we continue to use today.
Canadians are not fools and most of us understand how much of the
meterial we place in recycle Bins end up as waste in garbage or land
fill dumps.
Creative ideas such as those mentioned above are good but here is one
idea that is not as esoteric. Bring Dentists and Dentistry into the
Medicare system. Millions of poor people are suffering with bad teeth
because they can't afford to visit a Dentist. One of those people is
me!
You can use this important Dental political plank in your Plastic
political platform.
Thanks for reading this letter, Mr. Broadbent,
and I hope to read you again sometime soon.
