Interesting how many on this blog don't understand that we cannot spend, borrow and tax ourselves rich. Look at Ontario - 20+ tax increases in 14 years and a fiscal disaster.

And missing the point on why the public sector enjoys higher wages for the same work, generous benefits and indexed pensions, while most in the private sector, who pay for the bulk of this public sector largess, do not enjoy the same benefits. 

Somehow ever increasing taxes without a commensurate reduction or freeze on government expenditures are the answer for those on the left side of the spectrum - because people "can always pay more tax" .....

Prudent governance and expenditure control is critical, as well as facing the fact that we can no longer have a bloated public sector paid for by a shrinking private sector.  In Ontario we have run out of other peoples' money - Canada is on its way to the same fate.
