yep, minority government, israel-style.
which incidentally is why there can never be peace there, minority governments talk peace but allow the ultra-right to build illegal settlements because their votes are needed.
not that canada even ticks at all with a majority, but good god, NDP fiscal policy is a guarantee that services will go down, but slow.
year after year our credit rating gets worse as debts aren't paid. more money to interest, less money to services.
why don't canadians get this?
it's really, really simple.
perhaps someone should campaign with the idea of a house mortgage.
disposable income is what's left after mortgage and bills. that's spent on foos, cars, vacations, etc.
start paying $50 per month extra. then $100. then $150. or whatever, figure out the average canadian's debt load, and get a proportional figure increase that the average joe can understand - a real-world example of why you cannot spend yourself out of trouble.
