As you read yesterday, three young people accused of running a luxury car theft ring have been released for this reason The justice system was unable to judge them within a reasonable time frame.
About twenty police officers worked for free for a month.
Actually nothing.
We take the collected evidence and throw it into a recycling bin along with full diapers and an old computer.
BIGGER, LESS EFFICIENT
What do you think police officers think when they read news like this?
Will we work even harder to catch bandits?
Or is there no point in killing yourself at work because the system can't keep up anyway and the villains we're going to arrest end up being free as hell?
If you choose the second answer, you win a donut at Tim Hortons.
What you will enjoy next to a horde of disheartened police officers.
And that's just the justice system.
Added to this is a crumbling healthcare system.
An education system that is imploding.
A road network that is collapsing.
Hydro-Québec, which is afraid of running out of electricity.
Overburdened immigration authorities.
An unprecedented housing crisis.
Poverty and psychological stress are taking an increasing toll.
And politicians who no longer know what to do to increase the income column. (Tax the air? Install paid toilets in every house? Tax the tax that taxes the tax?)…
And in the end, public services are literally up in the air.
It cracks everywhere.
If you plug one hole, ten more will appear.
The state simply can no longer meet demand.
Even if the number of civil servants continues to rise.
We have never had a state so large and so ineffective.
Find the mistake.
GOOD CANADIAN CUISINE
Remember the days when restaurant menus were as thick as a phone book?
You went to a restaurant and could order anything: smoked meats, Chinese food, pasta, coq au vin, spanakopita, pad thai, BBQ chicken, etc.
We called them “Canadian Cuisine” restaurants.
Two hundred and fifty dishes on the menu, all bad.
There are hardly any restaurants like this anymore.
For what? Because it required too much inventory.
Restaurants are now offering shorter menus. Less ambitious.
Well, I believe the state should do the same.
Stop trying to solve every problem and respond to every request. It is impossible. There are not enough taxpayers to pay for all these services.
Check out the Olympic Stadium. Do we really need a 56,000-seat stadium in Montreal? Of course not.
But we insist on keeping him alive.
If you can't expand the income column anymore, there's only one way to get there.
Shorten the expense column.
When will we start this?
