50,000 Quebecois Protest Tax-and-Spend Policies! I’ve been waiting for this for a year, and now it’s here: the Tea Party has come to Canada! If 50,000 Quebecers are marching in the street against big government tax-and-spend policies, then there’s hope for the free world. PM Harper, I hope you’re listening: Canadians want change, Canadians want smaller government.

Interestingly, I understand that Canada is the only country in the world, where the states are the more significant government division than the central federal government. I don´t remember exactly how, but it seems to be that they are more like what the American founders foresaw for the US, strong states with a weak central government.

This is a great story, but begs the question: Is the Canadian media claiming they are being organized by a few conservative leaders? It couldn’t POSSIBLY be grassroots, right? Also, are they touted as gun-toting, right wing extremists? Are they yelling the N-word and spitting on their beloved leaders? If Canada has anything equivalent to CNN, you bet they are.

I have a pic of several middle-aged to elderly women resting peacefully on a bench at the TPX gathering in Detroit. I wanted to post it with a note “BEHOLD DANGEROUS RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS”, but I don’t know how to post a JPEG file. :(

Maybe Canada is more like what the US was like under its first constitution, the Articles of Confederation. That was essentially an application of the Continental Congress that fought the US Revolution to the new independent nation. Government under the Articles of Confederation was judged too weak, which led to the development of our current constitution.
