Some things would change if I was in charge

• Eliminate speed bumps. They're only good for wrecking suspensions.
  
• Free transit for anyone over 60.
• Big financial incentives to buy hybrid cars. Low Emmission Vehicles get to use HOV lanes. They also get parking at 50%.
• No more red light cameras. Only a live cop can judge whether you should have stopped in time.
• Speed cameras in all school zones and playground zones. There's no excuse for speeding in them.
• Hide the GST back into the price of all products - we don't need to see it. This will also make it more realistic to:
• Abolish the penny. Everything totalling more than 2 or 7 cents is rounded up, otherwise rounded down to the nearest nickel.
• Financial incentives to companies that capitalize on telecommuting at least 50% of the work week.
• Abolish the CRTC. Or at least its mandate of legislating Canadian content. Canadian programming that's any good will stand on its own.
• Build a lot more wind farms for power generation - especially in Southern Alberta.
• Send all cooks back to school and tell them to can it with the pepper already.
• Twin the Trans Canada highway from coast to coast. Find a way. It's embarrassing.
• Make all specialty cable TV channels a-la-carte. There are too many crap channels riding the coat-tails of good ones. The ones that get no demand must be tossed.
• The penalty for drinking and driving is loss of license. Forever. No exceptions. Not even for work.
• Abolish the gun registry. Crimes are rarely committed with registered weapons.
• If something you order in a restaurant doesn't look anything like the picture, you get to send it back - no questions asked.
• Legalize marijuana, but only on Vancouver Island. Think about that for a second. Don't worry, it'll be faster to get there - the TransCanada will have been twinned...
  
• Find a way, maybe through corporate sponsorship or something - to make University free.
• If someone emigrates to Canada with a professional skill - for heaven's sake let them at least challenge an exam to earn the right to practise that skill here.

This list is a work in progress.....

P.S.: I cannot believe the lack of comments on this post! I thought for sure this would prompt some lively discussion. Must be a slow week.
