Two Federal by-elections have been
announced for September 11, 2000 in Okanagan-Coquihalla in B.C. and Kings-Hants in Nova
Scotia. These by-elections will involve the leaders of both the Alliance and the PC
parties and apparently their leaders will be virtually unopposed.
This will be an opportune time to
let Canada know and promote the ROC Concept.
The thrust of the ROC Party Concept
is National Unity. In essence, it identifies Ottawa as the corrupter and not Quebec or the
rest of Canada. The ROC solution to the problem is a "Made In Canada" Swiss
style republic with the following main initiatives…
1) Limit Ottawa's
powers to Foreign Affairs, Bank of Canada (currency/debt), the Military, and a National
Bill of Rights, Freedoms and Responsibilities. All other powers are provincial except for
First Nations which will be a joint federal/provincial responsibility. There will be no
wasteful duplication of responsibilities.
2) Cabinet
Ministers for Ottawa's limited responcibilities to be elected by MP's.
3) Replace the
Prime Minister's position with an appointed president having a similar status to that of
the present Governor General.
4) Reduce the
number of MP's in line with the reduced responsibilities of Ottawa.
5) Form a
"House of Provinces", comprised of the Premiers and Territory Leaders to
coordinate the expanded provincial responsibilities and administer our present key social
programs.
6) Abolish the
Senate.
To accomplish this major government
restructuring, a House of Commons majority must be achieved in the next general election.
A ROC/BLOC-Q coalition would accomplish this goal. The ROC/BLOC-Q coalition would also
welcome other political parties or MP's who support the ROC concept.
The ROC Concept would end the threat
of separation from both Quebec and the rest of Canada. The resulting Canadian Unity will
strengthen the present uncertain Canadian Dollar and because there will be less
government, there will be a major reduction in taxes.
To make the ROC Concept a reality,
it is vital that it be presented to all Canadians through the upcoming by-elections.
This call goes to all Canadian
Patriots who are fed up with the present federal system, which is not working! This is
your opportunity to stand up and be counted! Are you prepared to take on this challenge
for your country? Canada needs you now!
