Mike’s Saturday Editorial
Have you heard about the retired mechanic who rejected a government proposal to build a set of stairs in a park for $65,000, and instead raised $550 and built them himself. Well he is in as much trouble as the little girl trying to sell lemonade. Update:
Toronto workers remove $550 park stairs built by senior after city’s $65K-$150K estimate
The usual anti-free trade special interest groups require a unique kind of ideological blindness to miss the benefits to Canada’s most needy.
…how worried should Canadians be!
Canadians have been gobbling up US Real Estate and are a now 2nd in dollar value to China and number 1 in units. And the gap between the US and Canada on Trade might not be as bad as previously thought and consumers will benefit.
Government BS that all spending is “good for the economy” is coming home to roost at all levels.

Wasteful spending is no longer definable along with the news that human initiative is no longer allowed. Whether it a city ripping down $550 resident donated stairs in a park so that it can be replaced by a set worth between $65,000 – $150,000, or requiriing children and their parents to pay a fee and sign 3 page legal documents to open a lemonade stand, the incentive to sit back and just let Government run wild through our society is becoming compelling.
