The Conservatives talk about shrinking government spending, and yet they do the complete opposite. The result is a "George W Bush" like economic stagnation, where the poor and middle class get stuck with higher costs, and the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen.

What people really need is a government that stops trying to help them. Raise taxes on the poor and middle class, introduce user fees for medical treatment, waste taxpayers money on stupid things like tanks and space research. This callous way of treating the citizenship is the opposite of what any Canadian would call for, and yet it is exactly what they need.

As humans we are always looking for the easy way out in our lives, and yet it is the adversities in life that make us stronger, more capable, and happier.

In the early nineties, both Chretien and Harris followed this exact recipe of governing, they cut spending, and they let taxes run. The result was a great economy, and growth rates much more robust than is seen today, at least in Ontario.

As I have said many times before, everything balances out, so the only way to truly help people is to challenge them, not baby them.
