SpongeBuzz PinkPants!

Richard - Since you like to offer different musical choices, I thought I'd offer this one.


I have been working on posts on the CAW report Eye Of The Storm: The CAW and the Remaking of Canadian politics (pdf document), particularly looking at some of the many possible issues that arise from it. In the next few days I will be posting on these issues one at a time, with the first one slated to run tonight on At Home in Hespeler. The issues that I will be looking at are:

- The politics of the report
- What this report means to the Liberals (and Liberals, you should be more worried about this than the rest of us).
- The CAW's version of democracy
- Replacing capitalism and, ultimately, democracy.

For those not familiar, I give you one paragraph from this 24 page report (emphiasis are mine):

We want a society in which working people can have true hope, security and equality; a society with full economic and political democracy. To accomplish this, we need to be able to thoroughly regulate private business; manage employment, investment and trade; expand public ownership and non-profit enterprise; and run the economy in the interests of the working people. If we succeed, we will have fundamentally transformed our economy and society, replacing capitalism with socialism.

Meanwhile, I penned a theme song for this series of reports based on the SpongeBob SqaurePants theme song.

Enjoy!
