First of
all I would like to welcome you to this page! Let me tell you
a little bit about the Marcie Party. Miss Marcie M. Farsea is
as you likely will know the Corporate Secretary and the Author
of the ..."best book ever written about business in
Canada" Your Very First
Billion. She was born
in Corner Brook and so is a newfie which may explain some
things but as you also likely know "girls from Corner
Brook can do anything". Anyway with the political
system in Canada in such a mess I managed to talk Marcie into
running for PM. It took a bit of arm twisting and only three
shots of Screech but I did it.
We are
not asking you for any funding because we have more than
adequate funds in place thanks to our kindly old CEO who
donated $20 cash to the party so don't worry about that. That
should be more than enough to do it.
A vote
for the Marcie Party will send a clear message to our
politicians because first of all every vote for the Marcie
Party will save the Canadian taxpayer $1.75 per year that
would normally be paid to the political party for every vote
they receive. That means if the government is elected for a
four year term then voting for the Marcie Party saves a
minimum of $7.00 for every vote we get. That may not sound
like much but if for every one million votes that you give to
the Marcie Party the mainstream political parties lose seven
million dollars. The Marcie Party won't get the money because
first of all we don't need it, secondly we do not intend to
register so wouldn't be paid it anyway. By voting for the
Marcie Party (just write in Marcie Party!) you are showing
support for our platform, saving the taxpayers potentially
millions of dollars and really pissing off some political
parties that have been playing with your money for years with
no hope of ever winning. Its much better than not voting
and voting for a protest party you don't really support
anyway.
Here is our platform:
MARCIE
PARTY PLATFORM
1.
Everyone in Canada will have basic rights regarding a shower,
a place to do laundry, a place to sleep, a mailing address and a good nutritious
meal. Certain responsibilities must be met by people receiving
these benefits related to restrictions on drug and alcohol
use. Funding for these benefits will not be given directly to
the individuals to avoid funds being misused. Further details are on our poverty
page.
2. The
GST and HST will be cancelled.
3. A flat
tax will be implemented with no loopholes and no
complicated forms.
4. All
government funded positions will start at $10 an hour for the
first year and the maximum cap on ANY government job or
position will be $70,000. Only one spouse can have a
government job. No strikes in any government position.
5.
Government Lottos will be cancelled as will government
operated gambling institutions. More info here.
6. The
Canadian Navy will be built back up to a formidable force that
can protect our coast and Canadian interests world wide. This
will call for 3 nuclear aircraft carriers a fleet of 12 nuclear subs,
48 frigates, 10 destroyers, 2 cruisers and six support ships.
All ships will be built in one yard only instead of piece meal
spread around several politically correct but horribly inefficient
locations. This will produce a healthy, stable ship building industry
with thousands of jobs. Further details on our Navy
page
7.
Canadian troops will be brought back from Afghanistan
immediately. Five Divisions of 15,000 troops each will be
established in Canada. All troops who served outside the wire
at the main base in contact with the enemy will be given a
$100,000 non taxable performance bonus. All troops who were
killed in Afghanistan will be receive a $1,000,000 non taxable
payment to their estate. All troops who received a serious
injury will be paid a non taxable performance payment of
between $250,000 and $1,000,000 depending on the seriousness
of their injuries and resulting disabilities. These payments
will be paid in addition to the regular payments and
allowances they would normally receive.
8. The
Canadian Army will be built up as a formidable well equipped
fighting force with a five year optional government service
draft available supplemented by reserve service. The
strength of the the Armed Forces will be brought up to 1% of
the total population in regular and reserve forces.
9. The
Canadian Senate will be abolished.
10. Run
off elections will be established to obtain a ruling party
which must obtain over 50% of the vote. If not the bottom
party will be dropped and a run off vote held until the 50% is
achieved.
11. No
party funding from taxpayers based on votes received. All
parties must self fund.
12. There
will be work available for ALL Canadians who wish to work.
This work will be building infrastructure including highways,
bridges, maintaining parks etc.
13.
Official bilingualism will end except in the Province of
Quebec where the official language will remain French.
Graduation from high school will require that a student have
basic skills in math and the ability to speak one additional
language and the ability to play one musical instrument.
14. The
metric system will be officially abolished in Canada. Although
the Metric Commission was abolished several years ago Canada
continues to maintain two systems of measurements which
confuse most citizens. More details here.
15 A
Canadian vehicle factory will be established with Canadian
designs for our winter and severe conditions. more details here.
The Canadian vehicles must have adequate clearance and size
for winter driving conditions here and be equipped with block
heaters and a set of snow tires must be sold with the car in
addition to the summer tires.
16.
Capital punishment for child and police killers will be
implemented. All prisons will be moved to far northern
locations. Prisoners will be expected to support themselves
and all their costs by their labour. The personal wealth
of all prisoners will be used to pay for their expenses while
in jail.
17.
Drivers who drink and drive will receive a life time ban on
driving and the forfeiture of all wealth and property and a
five year jail sentence at hard labour.
18. Child
sex offenders will be castrated and placed in jail for 25
years at hard labour.
19 Alcohol
will be sold by permit and regular annual blood tests for
liver and kidney function must be completed to obtain a
permit. All alcohol sales will be included in a data base and
abusers will be flagged. Alcoholics will lose their driver's licence.
20
Cigarettes will become illegal in Canada as they cause cancer.
21.
University and Community Colleges will be free to students.
22. Two Air force
squadrons of CL-415 water bombers consisting of 48 aircraft
will be established to fight forest fires in Canada and
Northern US states on contract. The aircraft will also be used
for Search and Rescue and surveillance.
23. The drug
problem will be solved. Suppliers will go to jail for a
minimum ten years hard labour in a Northern Prison. Users will
be given an automatic $10,000 fine for the first offence.
Addicted people will be sent to Northern detox centers for six
months to recover their health. People selling drugs that
cause death will be charged for murder. All funds generated
from drug sales will be confiscated.
24.Prescription
drugs will become a part of the medical services. It is
foolish to give free medical care to a person and give them a
prescription which they cannot afford to fill.
25. All
government buildings will run on two shifts so that the same
office building can service two or more ministries. As it is
each building is empty most of the day. In the private
sector they would never run a factory on one shift but our
government does.
26. The
federal government cannot ask for any information or any
reports or any tax or tax information from companies with less
than $500,000 of annual income. This will reduce the paper
burden for these businesses to zero.
27. The
seat of government will be moved from the Parliament buildings
in Ottawa to a computer centre in Corner Brook where MPs will telecommute
over the internet thus saving billions on travel expenses.
They can work from home. That will save billions more.
28 MP's
wages will be set at the average Canadian family income in the
Province of residence.
29.
Political parties will be self funded with no taxpayer support
based on votes obtained. This tends to encourage splinter
party development. This will solve that problem.
30.
Canadian Banks will have a cap of two times prime for loans
and three times prime for credit cards. ATM fees are to be
abolished. Maximum credit card rates for all credit cards in
Canada to be three times bank prime set by the Bank of Canada.
For more info on banks.
31. MPs
will be elected in the ratio of half male half female so that
a gender balance is achieved.
32. There
will be one Canadian Driver's License not the ten provincial licenses
that now exist. There will also be one Canadian Health care
card not the ten that we presently have.
33. Free
trade will be abolished and replaced with a system that keeps
50% of the market for each good and service open to Canadian
companies. This portion of the market will be open to all
countries who open their country to Canadian products
34. The
export of raw logs will be prohibited.
35. The
ownership of all Canadian resource companies will remain in
Canadian hands.
36.
Similar to the US Jones Act all resources shipped from Canada
will be in Canadian vessels with Canadian crews. This will
require a substantial Canadian merchant marine.
37.
Canadian trades will be federally certified and each tradesman
will be responsible for his or her work. Those doing work that
does not meet standards will have their trades certification
suspended. Once a government department certifies that work is
done to a standard they are then responsible for any problems
resulting from the structure related to non standard but
previously inspected work. A central registry accessible by
computer will be kept on all de-certified tradesman and a
database of certified tradesmen with the date of certification
will be kept.
39. A
company Director or CEO may not be paid a bonus in addition to
his or her regular salary if the company declared a loss in
the year for which the bonus was paid. A cap of 1 million
dollars will be placed on the salaries of all publicly traded
companies in Canada. The salary of any executive or management
position with a Canadian publicly traded company cannot exceed
ten times the annual salary of the lowest paid employee. If
the publicly traded company produces a deficit the CEO cannot
be paid any more that five times the annual rate of the lowest
paid employee.
40. Spam
will become a serious offence with minimum fines of $10,000
and five year jail sentences. That will solve the problem of
spam from Canadian sources.
41. Cell
phone companies will be not allowed to sell multi year
contracts and if they cancel a clients service they will not
be allowed to continue to bill the client for that service.
Right now Canada has the 30th worst cell phone service on the
planet and this will fix it!
42. All
food sold in Canada must meet nutritional standards and must
not contain excessive amounts of salt or sugar. Fast foods
with high caloric ratings will not be sold to people who are obese.
Obese people will be placed on a medically administered diet
to reduce deaths from medical conditions associated with
obesity.
43. The
TransCanada Highway will be double lane across Canada with separate
highways for east and west travel. There will be clean and
safe rest stops every 100 miles.
