Yes you are absolutely right. There is no reason such jobs could not be
filled by private sector workers. This would give the ability to
negotiate cost and quality based on the principal of supply and demand.
As for protecting us from invaders I believe this is a bit of a joke. If
Canada were to be invaded the only recourse the Government of Canada
would have is to place a quick call to Washington for troups to protect
the Canadian military.

see above.

You have not provided any ant facts to support your statement. This post
reads like it should be under the heading " Pity the poor abused Civil
Servant."

Thanks for the offer, you can donate it and the thousands of other
quarters the taxpayers provide you with, to your favorite charity. The
reason I say thousands of quarters is because millions of people in the
country feel as I do. This has been shown by the many polls taken in the
past few years.

PS You have are even using our tax dollars for personal use by replying
to this post on a government Internet connection.  Are you also being
paid wages to do this? How do you justify this as an act of a dedicated
civil servant? ;-)
