If this continual bribing of Canadians with our own money proceeds into the future, eventually one day we will be like Greece and have our debt pulled; and suddenly there will just be no more pensions, no more healthcare, no more EI. Nobody will be joking about a national day care program, gun registries, or fitness tax credits.
Why does it take a watershed moment for people to realize that money doesn't just grow on trees and we can't afford what we already have.

Right and like I've already said in this thread I'm undecided and not particularly enamoured with any of the parties and their platforms.
Reality is that people only seem to talk about the CPC here though and take shots at the Liberals and NDP. I suppose they have a monopoly of worthwhile ideas?
Forgive me if you think this is misguided, but I don't have faith that the CPC and their band of convicted fraudsters will be able to sort out the issues with the aging population any better than the others. They've offered me no reason to think otherwise as a continual "Liberals/NDP is bad" campaign doesn't give me that hope either.
