Are you ready to be heard?

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form."
Albert Einstein, Physicist
New York Times, March 19, 1940
US (German-born) (1879-1955)

Based upon the USA Resuscitation BluePrint, Canadian Banks and Auto Makers are likely to:
a) they come back for more money
b) two auto companies will merge
c) an outside company will acquire them with all the taxpayer incentives
d) file for bankruptcy

What do you think will happen with the Bank and Auto Bailouts?

Celine Dion has earned enormous success:

* $250 Million USD estimated net worth
* 5th richest woman in entertainment, as per Forbes magazine
* #1 female record sales in history
* 200 Million plus, record sales worldwide
* dominated charts in Canada, US, Europe, Asia and Africa
* headlined 5 year exclusive engagement at Caesar's Palace
* winner of Junos, Grammies and Academy Awards
* Taking Chances record, hit #40 in Mexico and #8 in Spain

National Post reported Universite de Montreal established, "the Research Group", 14 Masters and PhD students to study why Celine Dion hasn't achieved the level of success in Latin America, evident in other countries.

Professor Pato is quoted as stating:

Celine was selected over Shania because she is in Montreal, but didn't request the study to be undertaken.

The completed study will be "given" to Celine Dion's Record Label for use in expanding her extensive entertainment empire into Latin America to reach a potential 400 Million fan base - to sell more for her financial benefit.

If Celine's Record Label deems this massive $1 Million + study unworthy of investing THEIR money, why should Taxpayers finance a project, for the sole financial benefit of a very wealthy and successful performer?

This magnificent study is financed via Grants = Taxpayer money, plus salaries for 14 Masters and Ph'D students.

Shouldn't a Taxpayer funded project of this magnitude, benefit a wider base of Canadians, versus the personal financial empire of a wealthy singer?

If this study cannot be changed, 3 quotes with outlined criteria should be obtained, by an unrelated party. The market value cost should be offered to Celine's Record Label. If they opt out, then the is project canceled, without compensation. Should they accept this cost - it must be paid 50% in advance and 50% upon delivery; all funds to self-finance future projects: "The Performing Arts - Pay it Forward in Perpetuity Fund".

Elected Politicians & Appointed Officials are:

Very well compensated;
Entrusted with the prudent management of taxpayer money;
To be transparent, accountable and responsible to the People - Shareholders - Taxpayers.

Yet stories to the contrary are routinely in the news and commonly stated in Auditor General Reports.

Politicians aren't listening to their constituents, enacting loose legislation resulting in frivolous lawsuits further mocking the Taxpayer's common sense, ethics, honour and respect.

Change can only be effected from outside parliament.

Politicians and Public Officials must be reminded of their perspective, priority and performance on spending Taxpayer money.

Taxpayers subsidize Federal Political Parties:
$30 Million per year - non-repayable cash grants
75% tax credit for $200 donations vs 25% for charitable donations
100% full restaurant and entertainment expense reimbursement without an official receipt from the establishment
"Double Dipping" after serving 3 Parliamentary sessions - regardless of how long or short each is - Salary and Pension paid simultaneously.

In 2001, then Prime Minister Chretien proposed a 20% raise for MP's and Senators with a 42% raise for himself, backdating it to within 30 days of the 2000 election.

In a record 3 days, made retro-active 6 months, this bill passed Liberal Majority House and Liberal Majority Senate!

Have Politicians passed ANY legislation or spending cuts for immediate implementation - never mind retro-active, favouring Taxpayers with such frenzy and zeal?
No input.
No consultation.
No performance standards.
Is it any wonder why Individuals disconnect from politics and feel powerless?

In 2001 Godiva Rides identified a cohort of 35% or 10,000,000 passionate voices.

In July 2008, an Ipsos Reid poll revealed 35% of Canadians are angry about Government's management of our affairs.
Also quoting Political pundits describing Taxpayers as "apathetic and too disorganized to be proactive".

Your individual voice across Canada, in unison, IS quite loud, powerful and will change the way things are being done.

The People - Shareholders - Taxpayers DEMAND accountability, responsibility and transparency from ALL elected and appointed government employees.
