Perhaps there is a connection between economic underperformance and government intervention in so much of the economy? Talk shows? Brace yourself Canadians for the next round of “infrastructure spending”.

……and that suits the present political elite just fine. It’s allowed them to slip through the new CHMC mortage rules that will effect affordability dramatically. Then there’s the “enhanced” Canada Pension Plan. Very very few understand the financial obligations our Millennials are set to shoulder. Infrastructure spending…again, its the millennials who’ll pay for that. For the political realm its really just fine there’s no rioting in the streets…..yet.
