I am NOT refuting that ultra-left policy is fiscally irresponsible (It is) but your reasoning, that Canadians are in a bad financial position, is not in line with the facts.
Despite a healthy dose of social spending Canada has one of the most enviable financial positions in the G8. The only nation with balanced books, annual surpluses, strong job growth, etc.

what i meant was that canadians should be shown a real-world example with dollar figures that they can grasp easier, why it is important to be fiscally responsible.
i know canada isn't so bad off RIGHT now but in the recent past it wasn't too well off and it could easily be bad if our credit rating slips.
