Legislation Fallout

The three pieces of legislation highlighted combined with policies, regulations, institutions based on them, SCC decisions, and Provincial Court Decisions, Human Rights Tribunal decisions have us, over 3.5 decades, in the place we are today. Minority control of the majority in a climate of Extreme Political Correctness.

Something like 25-30% of Canadians are now and have always been in control of the legal, political, socio-cultural agenda of this country and their control is becoming increasingly stronger. For the most part it has been enforcing the Liberal philosophies of increasing individual/minoity linguistic rights with no commensurate increase in responsibilities. This happens to the detriment of the majority.

This 25-30% group is mainly composed of unilingual Quebecers, Bilinguals in primarily QC/ON, Bilinguals & their supporters in the ROC, and minority linguistic groups who have always voted Liberal as a best way to promote their own agenda. We are one of the few countries in the world where a minority of the population has basically legally acquired the divine right to govern and ensure it remains so in perpetuity. The Conservatives from '84 to '93 did nothing to change the dynamics. The only way of change now is for the Provinces to take back much of the power that they have allowed the Feds to encroach on.

Today, Anglophones (particularly males) may as well forget about applying for most any career position within any of the Federal Government organizations/institutions - member of parliament, the public service, the RCMP, the Military , CBC, Judiciary, IRB Adjudicators, Border Service, Human Rights Commissions, - and on it goes. Federal hiring, promotion, transferring policies over decades have entrenched the minority groups and the careers of dominants are most likely to start with entry level positions and then either be career stagnating or downright career ending as far as higher level promotions are concerned.

Under Law S-3, Official Bilingualism is being forced onto the Provinces whether the need is there or not. Lately, the feds have been relocating departments into the provinces - such as Tourism in BC, loading up the Harry Hayes Building in Calgary - with Francophones/Bilinguals of course getting a high proportion of the jobs. A push is under way for all RCMP policing the Trans-Canada Highway to be bilingual.. Radio Canada is seeking equal broadcast time in French for the 2010 Olympics.

In spite of the billions of dollars spent since the ' 60s and the millions that are continuing to be spent on bilingualism today, it is estimated by a Deputy Commissioner of the RCMP Human Resources (CPAC) that there are only 18% of Canadians today who are bilingual. Watch CPAC for a while and you are bound to conclude that bilinguals are far over-represented in most all federal institutions at the higher levels. Look at Harper's cabinet today. Most all of the people in power positions are bilingual easterners as are far to may of the senior bureaucrats.

Time for AB to get control of its own agenda
