Book Review #1
Rescuing Canada's Right
by Kheiriddin and Daifallah
This book is a very good text into what Conservatives in Canada need to be doing to help create a climate in which Conservative majority governments are not just possible, but likely. This requires building the intellectual and public relations infrastructure to slowly change Canadian public mindsets. Some reviews state that this book is not strong on new ideas. They are correct. Most of these ideas have existed in part or in whole. However, these ideas were either identified individually, or in an American political context. The value of this book is that Kheiriddin and Daifallah provide a complete picture with a Canadian context.
The surprise (this book did not expect it) Conservative victory in the January 2006 election opens some doors to accelerate some of the Kheiriddin and Daifallah plan. Primarily this has to do with the ability of government to influence mindset. The Harper government should, in the interests of individual liberty and the future success of the Conservative Party, immediately act to:

The Harper government should, in the interests of individual liberty and the future success of the Conservative Party, immediately act to:
- reduce the power of the CRTC (or get rid of it altogether)
- amend the broadcasting act to remove Sections 3(1)(d) and 3(1)(i)(iv) in the name of freedom of expression. These sections limit that freedom
- privatize the CBC
- eliminate government funding of left-wing think tanks and lobby groups
- eliminate government funding of socialist education programs

I generally agree with the sentiment about CRTC policy as it applies to broadcast rules about Canadian content.
But I'll tell you as a 30+ year veterean of the telecom industry that the CRTC is desperately needed and needs to exercise good judgement in support of sound policy.
CRTC does not need to be use for cultural manipulation as the Liberals have directed but for promotion of growth, competition and consumer friendly restraints on the communications industry.
