Governance

Politicians have turned over governance of our country, province to the bureaucrats

It has come to my attention that this great country and province of ours is being bureaucracy, not our elected politicia run by an anonymous ns. Now "we" being us and our elected so called "representatives" are to blame for allowing this subversion to happen.
Vic Toews had to table extra legislation to stop provincial firearms officers from keeping their own statist gun registry after he had already passed a law telling them to stop. Did anyone catch the RCMP commissioner whining that all he can do to remove Mountie bad apples is to ask them nicely to leave? Then along comes good ol' Toews with high hopes and more legislation.
Have you noticed that all the legislation that is being passed these days is called 'enabling legislation'? In other words the politicians turn the description and regulation wording over to the bureaucracy that then enforces their interpretation Ñ not what the politicians wanted to happen. The politicos then show up on TV, shrug their shoulders, smile and wander off.ÊDoes anyone really believe Jim Flaherty wrote the last budget by himself, or that Doug Griffiths was given a magic pill and overnight knows all the municipal issues facing each city council in Alberta?Ê
Health Minister Fred Horne talking on the radio kept referring to Alberta Health Services as if it were a private contractor and not a body that reports directly to him. More than 200 AHC care executives make more than $150,000 per year, yet seniors have to pay for physiotherapy. The driver for AHS CEO has his own secretary, yet handicapped patients have to pay for parking.
AHS has its own private army of security guards known as protective services. These stalwart employees make sure the handicapped pay for parking while a contractor ensures the well being/security of patients and staff. Between visitors and hospital staff, AHS takes in close to $250,000 a year in parking fees in Medicine Hat alone, yet the only improvement has been to parking fee machines that freeze and break during anything colder than minus 15.
