The Cabinet shuffle under Harperism is designed to create, or rather sustain, the illusion that there is government going on. This is mere theatre and of course there is no Federal Government, no set of plans for Canada, no intention to work with Provinces, nothing except more of the same Laissez Faire management which is the essence of what we have already seen in Canada. Laissez Faire means “let it be” or let them do what they want, meaning Corporate Private Power doing what it wants. The only role for Government in this Economic Regime is to help remove all and any obstacles out of the path of the Bulldozer of Corporate Greed.
Greed and Profit is now the only goal of Business replacing people, community and widespread peace, prosperity and harmony. Safety is gone; education is going; fairness and detail is almost gone. Lies and half truths rule the land, shutting down dissent and caring. Not one single thing in the list of governance principles is altered by this Musical Chairs Charade of shuffling Ministerial portfolios. Laissez Faire has always looked like this and is always the same and always produces the same result: human society functions at its ugliest and the gap between rich and poor, most privileged and most miserable always gets larger. This is typical of traditional Monarchic rule so attractive to Thatcherism and Harperism. The difference between these two is the addition of the Puppet Leader factor under the latter.
