It seems that our Prime Minister has decided, most charitably, to funnel 300 million of our dollars through the east of Canada to help individuals with uninsured losses due to the heavy winds experienced there in recent days. How wonderfully generous he is with the product of our time and energy.
Despite showing that he has at least a fundamental grasp of computing, he seems to have forgotten that the Internet has provided us with an effective and convenient tool that enables us as citizens to make our own choices as to charitable priorities and funds.
Perhaps he thinks we are too juvenile as thinkers to be able to assess the situation for ourselves. It must be true that the more he makes such decisions for us, the more likely we are to fall into such a state of mind.
Some decisions are properly the business of government since we cannot make such choices as individuals; but when we are capable, and have the means, and have access to up to date information, that decision should remain with the individual. It's not the business of government to be an arbitrary insurance provider.
