But dealing with -- and changing the law -- takes time."<br /><br />Why? We have records of what the laws and regulations were. Replacement should be simple and straight forward. There really hasn't been a long time involved. It is not as if going back would mean we all had to ride donkeys and live in thatch huts. The rules and regs immediately preceding Harper were reasonably up to date and could be dropped back into place. <br /><br />My impression is that the Harper/Neo-Liberal bureaucracy is determined to hold onto as much of Harperism as possible. I also think that Trudeau Jr. is much closer to Harper in practice than his cheerful personality would suggest.

Just do it. We had the rules and regulations; reinstate them. Mincing about, tweaking wee bits, accomplishes nothing. <br /><br />If there was a button I could push to undo absolutely everything that Harper did I would push that button. Tobynoreply@blogger.com
