Excessive Spending Will Not Lead To Sunny Ways
There has been much talk in the election and the time since then about Prime Minister Trudeau's desire to emulate the "sunny ways" approach of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier. Laurier's sunny ways philosophy is often attributed to his approach to the challenges of linguistic and religious differences facing a young Canada. The most famous quote is from a minority religious schools issue in the 1890s when Laurier said: "Do you not believe that there is more to be gained by appealing to the heart and soul of men rather than by trying to compel them to do a thing?"

There's three main facts that can't be ignored if we're to remain functional as a country.
1. Infrastructure has to be upgraded, repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
2. The ideal time to do it is when interest rates are low.
3. The ideal time to do it is when unemployment rates are high.
The foregoing don't need discussion except for which projects to start on first.
Is it impossible for you (like Cannuck) to merely say you disagree and forget the character assassination? (Who gives a f**k if you roll around on the floor laughing your fool heads off like f**king idiots?)
Wages they get now is a lot more than we used to get!
While many Canadians proudly boast about our country’s "free" health care, a new study has broken down exactly how much money in many tax dollars go into the system each year. According to a report by Fraser Institute, the average Canadian family will contribute $11,735 in taxes for public health insurance in 2015.
Just a little less than $1000.00 a month.

No, they didn't. The Family Allowance Act or "baby bonus" (which was passed by the Liberals) was repealed, in 1992, by the Progressive Conservatives, after The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney PC, the 10th Prime Minister, attempted unsuccessfully during the previous Parliament to pass a plan for a $5.4 million national childcare program for 200,000 childcare spaces.
Nope. We had a child tax credit at the end of the year and a baby bonus check every month. Martin got rid of the baby bonus check and replaced with the child tax benefit every month. End result, no baby bonus, but a reduced child tax credit and less tax refund every year. But heck, he balanced the budget.
You want to supply a link for that, cause this is what I came up with
Cost of Care: The U.S. health care system is bleeding green | Dallas Morning News
And it says less than 5k per person.

Fraser institute study. I'll have to look for the link. But the numbers are actually lower on my end if your counting heads.
No, I said I would have to go back and look for it. I believe I got it off the CTV website. However, as I said. My quote was per family at 11 K and yours is per person at 5 K. Two people in a family usually pay taxes, the numbers look pretty close to me.
You're right, my apologies. It's still half of what the Americans pay, and in line with the rest of the world.
O sorry, Gerry I just realized that was an American number, I'll see if I can find the link.
That's your annual Child Tax Credit chopped up into twelve parts.
Paradox, I stand corrected. It was the Conservatives who got rid of the baby bonus.
Thank you for showing me the err of my ways.

Here is an article (in the National Post, of all sources) discussing the history of the children's benefits changes made by the Mulroney Government (in his case, as well, to balance the budget).
lol, no problemo, sir.
Already read it, but I didn't want you to think I would look the other way when I made a mistake.
Justin still sucks btw. :thefinger:
All the lefties that screamed about Harper's deficits suddenly find deficits acceptable. Say it ain't so!
