How can I adopt the intensity principle into my life so that I, too, can be a better Canadian in the new way:
- At work, I will not promise to be more productive but when I do work, I promise to really really work, focusing on the really.
- When losing weight, I will not eat less or exercise more but when I do I will really eat little - perhaps even nothing - and I will exercise in a meaningful way.
- When retirement planning, I will not fall in to that trap of beginning to save now and making sure I put away a sensible amount every month but when I do get around to savings I am going to borrow a hell of a lot and stick it away...for sure...definitely.

Only in a neo-con world would something like this be acceptable. Actually proposing this nonsense tells me the Reformers have given up on majority rule.

I get it that you think there should be some hard reduction in GHG emissions and I agree with that but your analogies are really lame.
If intensity targets were applied to your work you would produce less BS per hour worked. If applied to your diet your ratio of exercise to calories consumed would increase and if applied to your retirement fund the amount saved per dollar earned would increase.

If my analogies are taken to be about not doing the thing you say you are doing, they are quite apt. But entertain yourself.
