We are blessed to have an exceptional social safety net, with at one time a fair and balanced redistribution of wealth and sound budget priorities with debt financing for real investments not masquerading as capital expenditure and operating costs (ie: Infrastructure).  With the Ontario team leading the country, and all going well, a minority of us succumb to distractions, creating make work social engineering projects, many of which give people false hope of success without effort or cost.  This creates an industry of activism where minority ideals rule the majority, going against the fundamental principle of democracy.  Activism should bring ideas from both sides of the political spectrum, but should be sold and adopted by the majority, not rammed down our throats, as has been the case in Ontario.  This results in a lot of money spent on failed experiments that future generations will be paying.  A return to a balanced approach of economic liberalism and socialism is required.
