WHEN SOMEONE FAILS YOU, YOU CUT THEM OFF.

There is little need for revolt, in any violent way.  Remember, this is
Canada, land of the beaver, beer and a good TV program.  Government is
in a weak position.

If you really want to watch you politicos jump - stop paying your
taxes.  Remember, as taxpayers, you may wish to complain as often as
possible.  If your governments refuse you and your interests, closing
your wallet might be an effective means of slapping those politicos
where they need it most.

You need attitude for this.  You need to accept the fact this is your
country and your responsible for it.  The politico subcontractors work
for you, and of they be irresponsible, then it's you right to fire
them.  No elections required.

Voting in responsible people would also be a move in the right direction
;-)

No need for that.  So much effort for the polticos on your part.  I
seriously doubt they desearve it.

Next time you feel like taking that shotgun and aiming it at a politico,
stop.  Wait until your ready to take a really big shit, put it in
plastic bag, and mail it collect (no postage needed for your MP).  I
think that's a much more effective and aromatic position to take.

Remember, wrap your shit up well so it does not bother our postal
people.  The goodies are not for them, and they don't need the odure ;-)
