TIME TO GROW A BACKBONE, CANADIANS

 Other than that, Canada appears as directionless as a rudderless boat on a windy sea. It’s far too late to expect governments at senior levels to make serious efforts to balance the books or eliminate deficits. We’re in too deep a hole. The cuts required at this point would be too onerous, and Canadians have shown themselves unwilling to accept even trifling reductions. When a pre-pandemic Ford sought to eliminate a program that provided modest health coverage to Ontarians facing emergencies outside the country, the Canadian Snowbird Association took the province to court and won, just in time for retirees to head to Florida for the winter. Presumably they could afford winter homes, but not their own health insurance.
