Something to be worried about - and with promise to an indexed pension, of course! But are we a country with low population growth, non-judicious immigration, and a baby boomer - where is our tax base? Well, we might as well jack up the already high taxes that we pay! Print more money, introduce new taxes (that does not seem hard…some of which are just optics) or anything that sounds like money in to the treasury!
Add in the companies whose only customer is the government and you can see the panic that might set in when people start talking about cutting budgets.
Maybe we should commission a more complete analysis to show the similarities between communist Vz and the U.S.
That's not sustainable. Great share, thank you
Interesting 🤔. Great share Shane
21.8% is 13% less than 1 out of 4 Canadians. I wouldn't call that nearly. But it is 'more than 1 out of every 5'. Exaggeration usually weakens a point instead of strengthening it, especially to those who can see what you are doing.
Really does make you question where things are going. This is not good.
