So suddenly debt becomes more important than healthcare, education, public works, etc. Trust me there are better ways to balance the budget than to screw over the people by f*cking with our socialist policies - policies that keep everyone living well.
Ways like using the Bank of Canada for borrowing money at the federal level (w/ low interest rates) and in turn the feds giving funds to the province. This was done from WW2 to 1974. It got us out of the great depression and allowed for us to create highways, airports, sewer systems and the list goes on. It wasnt until 1974, when the genious Trudeau got rid of this system and the debt started and continued to build up.
So the choice is obvious. But who has the common sense to re-implement this proven success for balancing the budget while still providing for citizens in countless ways? Not the tories, liberals or even the NDP. The greens are the ones, thats who.
