Very polished Maggie! Your piece makes a bold case for prioritizing local fiscal responsibility over broad global climate targets. Copilot AI concurs: Maggie laid out her thesis with surgical precision. She’s not just writing an op-ed; she’s issuing a fiscal wake-up call.
A “fiscal wake-up call” usually refers to a stark warning about unsustainable government spending, rising debt, or looming economic risks that demand immediate policy action. Recently, this phrase has been making headlines in Canada and for good reason.
Spend less than you bring in, creates a surplus.
Spending more than you bring in, creates a deficit.
Remember, government at all levels, and the people under its control, have no money. They will spend your money willy-nilly, if you let them.
The only source of wealth in any community (don't include your government employees), is the people themselves. It doesn't work any other way folks.
Creston BC., has a major infrastructure improvement estimated at $150 million, and I estimate a margin call of $50,000.00 per property owner at some point.
What triggers a margin call?
A margin call happens when you’ve borrowed money from your broker to buy investments (called buying on margin), the value of those investments drop, and your equity falls below a required level. This is a maintenance margin call.
The distinction between a sovereign and a proprietor lies in the nature and scope of their authority.
Your town or city and the people under its control (that you employ), acts as proprietor, spend your money, and of course you want a well-maintained community, right?
Your mayor and councillors (that you also employ) acts as sovereign authorizing the spending of that money.
Thinkers like Rousseau and Hegel emphasized that sovereignty is about governance and collective will, while proprietorship is about individual control and exclusion. Confusing the two can lead to dangerous assumptions like treating public governance as private ownership, or vice versa.
