And when the Saskatchewan Party put a non-confidence vote for the governmental dismal job creation record(1), MLA Andrew Thomson retorted "They don't talk about the job growth which has been steadily increasing during that time period, year over year over year. What they focus in on Mr. Deputy Speaker, are the negatives."

So, we have governments which are continuing their economic direction driven by cheating the public and focusing on the positives, and this reminds me of our financial analysts who predict ever growing stock values by trying not to murmur the letter "R" for recession. Focusing on the positives without learning does nothing else but reinforce the spiraling breakdown of our own individual freedom.

Focusing on the negatives is as bad as focusing on the positives. We have to focus on learning how to create our own well being together rather than how to create additional Gross Domestic Product for the few and privileged.

I already mentioned how Roy Romanow and Jean Chretien have been creating discretional new laws out of current laws(2), and this same decrepit legal mind set of our governments has been castigated by journalist Terence Corcoran of the National Post(3). Corcoran has recently stated that Canada is one step closer to a police state, that our police has the power to break the law to enforce the law, and that new laws and regulations are turning bankers, lawyers and accountants into government spies on their customers.

In the meantime, without mentioning the letter "R" we have big business Nortel Network telling the world that another 10,000 employees are being laid off for a total of 30,000 employees. So, as governments continue to constrain our individual freedom, so their big corporate friends continue to make money at the expense of common people.
