I like the idea. While you're at it, can you decentrallise government a
whole lot? There are a lot more people in Ontario than in Manitoba, and
it would be nice if the tax money paid by people in Manitoba didn't
end up supporting things done in Ontario. This strange thing happens
now, so we then have to go and give money to the weaker provinces...
It gets very messy folks.

Also how do we prevent our tax money being spent on advertising campaigns?
"Vote your dollars into Environmental protection!" no "Vote for NASA!"
no "Vote for Improved Community Health Services!"

it sounds horrid to me -- but then I would be strongly tempted to send
all my money "to the abolition of pretty and clever advertising in favour
of the hard, cold, unglamorous facts".
