I do live in Canada, I have never been to Nova Scotia. I am on the other side of the country, where they have trees thicker than a person, and I will defend my country until it does something horrible that I do not agree with. One day I hope to take over (ok maybe not take over just get elected) and change some things like.....
The first thing I would do is cut politicians pay cheques down to $0, they are serving their country not making a living.
Gas who needs it not me. Pollution sucks, people are gready. Electricitys the way.
Manufactures in other countries should pay their employes canadian min wage.
Manufactures should abide to Canadian enviromental codes no matter where they ship their crap.
Harder enviromental codes, cause its obviously not workin.
To clean up the mess of the past companies should pay for the costs of cleaning up their mess.
Everything that posibly can be recyclable should be, food containers ect. Do you really need your chocolate bar wrapers to last forever?
Food should be composted. Every city should have a comunity compost, supported by the selling of the soil.
There should be trees in every back yard.
Cows, pigs, chickens should be fed grain not each other.
No growth hormones, in food animals.
Anything with Endangered Animals as a ingredient will not be allowed to enter the country.
Better animal laws, no tiny cages, bad treatment, no importing animals who lived in conditions that are against canadian law.

I would make these changes gradually. People would hate me but like children people will not change unless they are made to. By "take over" its a joke. I would get elected, then change stuff. The only problem is in Canada the opposing partys can get rid of you if they dont like you. I think the pay cheque thing would make them mad. The switching over of cars to hybrids is moving a little to slow, all new cars should be hybrids or fully electric cars. If companys could not make gas cars hybrids would evolve a lot faster. If canada moves away from gas first before other countrys it would save us money when gas is almost all gone, and when there is a mad rush for hybrids.
