We could each learn from each other. The more ideas in the pot, the better. @Traciatim, I couldn't agree with you more. All three are important, but my personal pet peeve is EXCESS PACKAGING.

Definitely there is no vision out there. Instead of throwing billions at GM & Chrysler, they should be working with home grown electric vehicle companies like ZENN (plus no union in the way), and help develop green energy mfg plants for wind, sun, etc. power. No vision of the future exists in our political landscape, Federal or Provincial. Even in the industry where I work Transport Canada just does whatever their US counterparts say!, I see it everyday working with them and it makes me sick, it has even gotten to the point that they make decisions without even asking Transport Canada. It's even more said because a few large American companies are pushing the agenda and it will mean once everything is put in place the few small Canadian companies we have making this stuff at toast. I like Americans but by doing this it makes us lose face in the bigger picture. Good thoughts. Definitely there is no vision out there.

Canadian Dream for President! ;o) Joking aside, I agree with you completely. The lack of vision in our politicians is what makes it so hard for us to get interested in politics. Or maybe they do have a vision, but just don't want to share it with the voters... Hear hear! Canadian Dream for President! ;o)
