Disagree, some things are unpopular but necessary. As much as I hated Chretien's arrogance and corruption he made the right decision when he cut the budget to get the country back to financial health, he never would have won an election if he ran on that. Governments first job should be to do what is right for the country. If you put everything to a vote the people would vote for lower taxes and higher entitlements every single time. People are idiots.
