Canadian Museum of Canadian Rights
You read it right. Instead of building a Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, I suggest taxpayers opt out of any agreement our New Conservative Government of Canada has made on our behalves, to build a Canadian Museum of Canadian Rights instead. I know it sounds selfish and not very caring about, well, the olden days lack of human rights, but given what's gone down with the Security and Prosperity Partnership - so far, I think we'd better get on it sooner rather than later.
You know, it's hard to imagine, really, why a New Conservative government would think 30 CEOs would negotiate ANYTHING that wasn't directly in their personal financial interests, eh? I mean, it should know these people and what they're all about. Afterall, they're the same people who put New Conservative governments in power.
Anyway, I hate to single out the Aspers and their charity works/mega monuments, but since they've secured lots of taxpayer $$$s already for the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, I figure they could... oh... wait... they wouldn't be able to get any private investment $$$s for a Canadian Museum of Canadian Rights to make it much of a public/private sort of endeavour, would they.
Sigh.
Well, maybe they can add a new wing to the Canadian Museum of Human Rights for Canada in the days before the Security and Prosperity Partnership was negotiated. It could even have a little plaque at the entrance "Paid For With Canadian Tax Dollars", so we'd all feel like we'd done our part to honour our past.
