The War on Poverty.

War on Poverty is top priority, Dion.

"Liberal leader Stephane Dion yesterday declared "war on poverty" in a major campaign-style policy announcement he vowed will create a "greener, richer, fairer" Canada."

It's about damn time. I am against poverty and of course, I've got the best and only solution. We should follow the successful Gun Registry program. Because the only way to get rid of something is by making it illegal, then you've got a guarantee; if the government says it's solved the problem, the problem is solved.

We need to start building trenches and bases now, also known as employment centres and highways to nowhere.

"The cost of doing nothing, which is the Harper plan, is far, far greater than the cost of investing in Aboriginal Canadians."

It's about time we started investing in aboriginal canadians. I suggest an investment pool of some sort, maybe a hedge fund. A fund manager will pick Natives to give money to, like venture capital. When the native gets rich and becomes famous (i.e. goes public) we'll sell our share of the Native, reaping capital gains!! I hope the manager is a value investor, perhaps a balanced manager. I suggest the Dogs of the Dow theory, we'll pick the ten worst and hope their value rises.

"Though the British government was often criticized for not meeting its ambitious targets, he said it still made a lot of progress by setting benchmarks."

Perhaps a batting average? The uses of Sabremetrics are unknown in the field of poverty. Maybe BMI? The puffy can't be poor can they? If I know anything about how successful socialism is, 5-years plans have always turned out well and ahead of target; a Ukranian told me that i think. I mean, we all know how well politicians handle firm targets: by repealing them. I'm looking at you Fiberal!

Poor people should be registered. That way we know how many of them there are. Then we can grandfather them out of Canada. We'll ask the Americans not to let all their poor people to be smuggled across the border. They'll not even be allowed to be traded at convention centres or flea markets either.

If you want to become a poor person, you must take a safety test to make sure you really are poor. You'll have to take a course as well, poverty & me. You'll have to answer some skill testing questions like: what is the cause of your problems? Answer: Everyone else. If you have more than one kid with the same person, you're disqualified.

Anyone claiming to be poor but not a part of the program will be thrown in prison. Think of it as more of a waiting period before you're cleared because anyone that breaks the law must be a victim of poverty.

So when we 'Make Poverty History' will that mean it becomes a social science with all the perks of alumni, tenure and all the pressure for excellence created in the non-profit sector?
