143 years ago...

...a small group of men wrote the law for our country. 143 years ago - laws for an era long gone by, laws for a world that no longer exists!

Today, we try to live by those laws. The result is constant confusion, if not confrontation, between the provincial and federal governments.

For example, there is the Canada Health Act, but it is the provincial government that has responsibility for health care. The Alberta Government has authority over oil sands development, but it is the Canadian Government that has responsibility for the environmental calamity at the oil sands..

It is time to modernize government, and I suspect the list of things to change will be long. I'd like to hear what you would add to such a list.
