Everything isn’t broken. The government is
Here again, however, neither side has an interest in admitting it: the opposition, for obvious reasons; the government, because it does not want to be accused of complacency. That, and because it provides an opportunity to talk about all the things it is doing to put things right.
Not that this should be taken as an admission that its previous efforts had failed in this regard. Rather, it takes the form of resolving to carry on doing more of what it has already been doing. Throne speeches and incumbent campaign literature are filled with promises to “continue” to do this and “doing even more” about that.
What neither side can ever admit is that government is not the centre of the universe. Most of the things that are going right have little to do with any positive action on government’s part; the most you can say is that government has not made them worse. The same could be said for most of the things that are going wrong, with the exception of the things that are going wrongThere is never any shortage of these; the larger government has grown, the more numerous they have become.
Governments are incompetent because they are trying to do too many things, mostly because we demand they must. Here again government and opposition are in broad accord. They disagree on the government’s actual competence, but on itscompetence they are as one. The notion that government might try to do fewer things better, rather than more things worse, simply does not enter the conversation.
– median, meaning half of all surgeries take even longer than that. What, then, do governments federal and provincial propose to do about it? More of the same, mostly. What does the opposition urge them to do instead? More of the same, only more of it.
