Canada's seven wonders

Gordie, you're clearly clueless. Look at the 1995 federal budget where the feds substantially cut into provincial transfers and tell me again who took substantive action on debt and deficits and who sat on their ass while times were good.

So from all this, I take it that Radio-Canada and the CBC didnt make the 7 wonders list?

Wrongo Grouperthink. Finance department officials working under Martin stated on the record on many occasions that deficits were going down faster than anticipated due to higher than expected GST revenues and higher rates of economic growth. Any cuts to transfer payments made a miniscule contribution compared to the torrents of cash that the GST brought in. As someone who supports heavy and onerous taxation, you should be able to recognize this better than anyone else.

gordie - why don't you invest in some "flow-through" investments. They are 100% deductible from your taxable income, thus reducing the "onerous taxation" you so decry. Oh sorry, that's a subsidy to corporate Canada.
