After legislating the production of Vegemite and it's daily consumption, then very next thing on the agenda would be to get onto Ford and GM to restart the production of CMPs as a matter of National Importance.
Soon the sounds of the stovebolt 6 and sidevalve V8 would again be rumbling across the Canadian countryside...
Some of the overseas developments would be essential - Canadian mothers would be shopping and dropping their children off in HUPs and F8 personnel carriers, the gun tractor would become the SUV of choice (as it is in parts of Eltham here).
Carriers would also be built to satisfy the needs of the man on the land.
Think of the benefits to Canadian society - not to mention the millions of export dollars it would generate. This could become a world-wide CMP led recovery. Poverty would become a thing of the past.The crime rate would drop to zero, as would the road toll...
Oil crisis? What oil crisis?
