    Who cares about strong borders when half of canadians are living paycheque to paycheck and 1200 famlies own more than the bottom 80%

    None of the current politicians care about the 80%

      I’d say at least some of these problems are caused by the ‘opportunity costs’ I mentioned in the article. When I write my second article I plan on dealing with this issue. As I see it, most people fear that a strong govt will oppress the citizenry. In my case, I think we need a strong govt to protect people from the free market and capitalism. And I’d suggest the oppressive way our legal and bureaucratic system does things gets in the way of those politicians who might actually want to fix things. But until people of good will are willing to redefine what government needs to do, we aren’t going to get to a better place. :-(
