Is that the new way of dealing with problems?  Discounting them to a level of inconsequence?  Khadr is not a small problem it is a major problem, neither is the 'Open borders' policy or the constant attacking of Canadians' tax levels.  Then there is how the Indigenous people are being handled.  Canadians see these things as borrowing money to pay off your visa bill then putting next months payment on visa.  Debt is a major issue and isn't being addressed at all.  Mechanization is a major problem and it is not being addressed.  As a matter of fact the proposed massive increases in minimum wages have served to accelerate mechanization.  Creating a method of discounting problems isn't going to make them go away, of course you can always prorogue Parliament hmmm.....didn't they criticize someone else for that very thing?
