FOR THE WANT OF A NAIL
A commentary on seemingly minor things
that can result in the loss of a campaign.

As the rhyme goes an entire Kingdom was lost due to a missing horseshoe nail.
(For details visit:- http://www.rhymes.org.uk/for_want_of_a_nail.htm )

The lesson conveyed being:- to tie up all loose ends before beginning any action that you really want to win.

It appears to me that candidates seeking votes in Canada’s next federal election are leaving a few missing nails unattended.

First and foremost are the thousands of honest, hard-working Canadians that have been abused for years due to defective taxable benefit, (TB), legislation.

If Canadian politicians wish to construct a solid campaign platform -- upon which to solicit votes in the coming federal election -- they would do well to commit to correcting the defective taxable benefit legislation and providing all Canadians -- already victimized by this outrageous rip-off -- with a fair compensation package.

Otherwise their platform is going to have a few loose planks that might just trip them up.

A few newspaper journalists have already published articles – very critical of the defective taxable benefit, (TB), legislation and related policy applied. But so far all calls for reason, fair treatment for all TB victims, and correction of the defective legislation – has fallen on deaf ears.

For more details visit the “Canadians for Fair and Equitable Taxation” (CFET), web page at:- http://www.cfet.ca and follow the links to published articles, petition, signatures etc.

Then if you wish to notify your candidate -- for election in the next federal election – that you are not going to be voting blindly this time:- Call them and e-mail them to let them know you demand a commitment from him/her to correct this TB atrocity which includes fair compensation for those already victimized.

After all it is only fair to let them all know there is a nail or two missing from their campaign for election -- so long as they support or tolerate discriminatory, unreasonable and unfair taxation.

See you at the voting polls for the next federal election – O’Grady.
