Dalton McGuinty politics, versus Donald Duck in the real world.

It is high time that the media party and similar propaganda agencies, expressed the other side of the argument, in respect to pseudo governmental organizations. These are legislatively empowered, taxation funded, "control boards", which hold the power of imposing behavioral laws, fines and imprisonment. All the while being responsible to no one, outside of their own organizational regime. The workplace insurance board of Ontario [or whatever they call it this week] is just such and agency, has highhandedly outlawed such tools as Bolson's chairs, under threat of fines, seizure and imprisonment, tools which were used to build the pyramids. Banned only because an unskilled and unqualified spectator, looks in awe and finds it unbelievable that anyone could use this tool confidently and live. Today they actually have many of the larger sign companies in Ontario, fearful to even allow their employees to carry a ladder on their trucks, or a bic lighter, or even to smoke, in a vehicle on the highway, of all places. An imposition of a pseudo-reality where micromanaged children of all ages, live with no right to make adult choices. They live within a mandate; which declares "there is no such thing as an accident". Or will any incidence exist, where an accident will go unpunished.
The principle empowerment of these Gulags is the entirely low to non statistically significant health and mortality risks, of working in an Ontario workplace. Being made to appear in the media by tax payer funded ad agency presentations, as though thousands are being slaughtered every hour. One of the safest places to work on the planet is what we saw, prior to the invention of the bubble wrapping, that is choking productivity and competition, right out of our workplaces, while offering up our jobs to China, who is now beating the hell out of our new coddled wimp workforce, in every perspective imaginable. Over "protection" by fines and seizures of private property, or banishment from workplaces, is a step too far. This constitutes direct and unreasonable interference, in someone's inherent rights to earn a living, or to house and feed their families. People who have always sustained themselves, by the skills and experience earned of real work. Within a regime that understood them to be; intelligent and capable adults and self sufficient human beings. The essential training of hands on life experience, that can not be found in a government published workbook. Earned Competence and skills are now being described as careless and brainless activities, by robber barons, who can only stand in awe, with no understanding of the work, or human compassion for the increased difficulty and expense, being placed in the road of getting any job done efficiently, with any measure of profit allowed.
I see roofers being protected against falling off a roof, not by their own instinctive cautions and common sense, rather by a guard-wall, installed around the edge of a roof, that it seems is illegal to construct, without a risk of substantial fines or imprisonment. If someone is in peril of falling off a roof and needs that guardrail to protect them, they are neither qualified as a roofer from the outset, or should they have ever have been allowed to travel more than three feet off the ground. To live in a highrise, walk or ski along a mountain trial, or be allowed to tend pigeons, sunbathe or barbeque, on any rooftop or balcony.
Is there much wonder that this Province can no longer compete in the workplace? With a overbearing mothering attitude, endemic in our legislatures, that won't allow us to accomplish real work, without the necessary paperwork, daily repeated safety meetings, over emphasis of the sound bite chantings, promoting fear of the consequences of a days work. There is always that duty to fear, that always arrives with every teenaged schoolbook trained inspector. Who has the sole voice that resides over all forms of superior experience, in what constitutes "safe enough". Workers are protected by hardhats, work boots and safety vests in an open muddy field against the showering of meteors or bird droppings, with no other sane reason to wear them, beyond the absolutes of compliance with pseudo fear law. Championed by the threat of being caught by the "safety inspector" who dutifully reports anyone who is getting too much accomplished, "stealing jobs" according to labor union sloganeering, as someone who obviously needs another blockage placed in their road.
There is only one justification or reasoned excuse for this over exuberance, of micro managed safety inspections, and that was seen in the regime of Adolph Hitler. Who also protected his people over the top, and imposed a responsibility to be healthy, safe and fearful, or to be scorned and punished. As a conditioning of the working class, to instill a new norm of an oppressive regime. A norm of "knuckling under, if you know what is good for you" in fear of those in control. They call this the nanny state, this mother is an abusive self sanctimonious sociopath, a frothing at the mouth bigot and a hypocrite. Who like all overbearing mothers, instills authority, by promoting exaggerated and improbable fear into all of her scoldings. The empowerment of such an agency existing as a mercenary force, to impose on the working class what the government hasn't the courage to do to them directly. Which is an outrage akin to the Taliban watchers on every street corner. With one important exception, the Taliban consider thievery to be a crime. If the government has the power to bestow the authority of fines and imprisonment on an independent organization, outside of the people's control and deliberately separated from our protections under the proper courts of criminal law that assume innocence, that regime is a dictator and democracy is dead, by the coercive contracts of their entitlement.
I would advise my peers in the workplace, or what little private space is still within our control, for the time being. If you value personal autonomy rights and believe yourself a free agent and an adult with an ability empowered by intelligence, to protect yourself, without forced bureaucratic assistance. Of a government that does not accept or recognize the existence of that intelligence, that ultimately is the only legitimate perspective that entitles their power. Or the power of an "inspector" to successfully solicit a cash bribe, in lieu of the alternative consequences. Resist this fascism, that stands against your right to make a living, without their interference.
We need to stand up and chase these so called "safety" inspectors off our job-sites, by refusal to recognize their false authority, to resist with abusive language, no co-operation and all forms of mutual disrespect, without limits, until they learn to be human once again and abandon their own employment, as cattle herders, for those who describe us all as "human capitol" and industry slaves, while promoting the Chinese version of the UN globalist campaign.
Stand free and proud today and defend yourself, or get used to bending over in servitude tomorrow. The government is legally our servant not the other way around, in spite of what daddy Dalton and the opposition members standing in compliance, still dare to believe. If the largest corporations in this country can be trusted and enjoy the "conveniences" of self regulation, so too should we, have that same trust, among those whom we hire, to do our bidding.
If it is legitimate to accept, as those who rule outside of the people's control will declare; "there is no such thing as an accident", we have to believe also, that mandatory "accident insurance" paid to this same enterprise, is a fraud and a criminal activity. No more than a mob styled protection racket, empowered and introduced by an illegitimate government, who are now only trespassing in our government buildings, in need of arrest and imprisonment, as traitors, by the theft of our democratic rights and freedom, within the wide-brushed "presumption of guilt" and a large scale theft of the public purse, that demands full compensation for everything they squandered, as the proceeds of organized crime.
Is it any wonder in so few years, we went from a Province of plenty, to a subsidized have not Province, with an economy collapsing under the force of it's own bloated bureaucracy and its duty to apply; our ever pressing, always media dramatic and ever urgent, protection of the "children".
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
