I remember in the U.S. a few years ago there was a coordinated attack on Social Security and Medicare by some punks hired by the banking and insurance industries.. all part of the Free Market drive for AUSTERITY. The more pain and inequity they can inflict on the society.. the more pliable their markets and the greater the profit potential. Someone is behind this dismal punk at the Winnipeg Free Press.. and you should look to the usual suspects in the Global Investment Organism.
The fact of the matter is that the ONLY threat to Canadian prosperity is if we follow their maxims of polarization of weath.. and Libertarianism .. especially those of free trade, monetarism, privatization and deregulation (especially of the financial and investment industries).
We essentially owe everything we have to our seniors... and our own cildren will some day inherit all we have created. Sadly our generation has really dropped the ball by betraying the economic principles on which Canada was built.. which includes protected industry by way of tariffs, control of the currency, regulation of the financial industry, progressive taxation, equitable distribution of wealth and the establishment of an integrated national industrial economy which includes public ownership on key natural monopolies (in natural resources, energy, communication and transportation).
We've let fools and charlatons.. Mulroney, Chretien, Harper.. sell out our national potential.. and let @$$holes (like Mia Rabson of the WFP) turn the blame on our parents.
When ever you see that argument that we are 'mortgaging our future generation'.. whether its about AGW or public debt be aware that you are being SCAMMED by an agenda that cares nothing about you or your offspring. It essentially attempts to appeal to a high sense of altruism but its intent is enrichment of a small group of oligarchs and their henchmen.. at the cost of everybody else.
