From 1980: "If the Liberals win tonight, the next government will be by representation anti-West and anti-producers. No matter what good intentions the Grits take back to Ottawa, their government will base it's power on Ontario and Quebec, and will in fact be a super-region government, not a national administration at all." In the 1980 election, the Pierre Trudeau-led Liberal Party returned to power for a majority government after only a mere nine months of a Joe Clark-led Conservative minority government. Prior to that short-lived Clark government, the Liberals had been the governing party for fifteen and a half years. In 1980, the Liberals didn't win a single seat in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon or Northwest Territories and only 2 lone Winnipeg seats in Manitoba. Why is it that Liberal governments always last so long in this country? Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie King got TWO majorities in 1935 and 1940 and a minority in 1945, followed by TWO majority governments under Liberal Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. When Conservative Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker, finally managed to replace the Liberals in 1957 after their 23 year reign, it was only with a minority government followed by ONE majority then one minority. When Liberal leader, Lester Pearson came in as Prime Minister in 1963, he got two minorities, followed by Liberal Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau with ONE majority then one minority then ONE more majority, followed by one more minority, followed by that quick one-and-done 9-month minority by Conservative Prime Minister, Joe Clark, followed by ONE last majority by Pierre Trudeau. Brian Mulroney managed TWO majorities for the Conservatives in 1984 and 1988, but he was a Laurentian crook and screwed the West over royally, which was why most Western voters abandoned the Conservatives for the Reform Party. Following Mulroney, Liberal leader, Jean Chretien got THREE majority governments in a row, followed by one minority government under the next Liberal leader, Paul Martin. The Conservatives under Stephen Harper got two minority governments followed by only ONE majority. Then the Liberals got one majority, followed by three minorities. In 91 years, the Liberals have gotten ELEVEN majority governments in total while the Conservatives have only gotten FOUR majority governments (two of them, unfortunately, with Mulroney). By now you should have realized that this is a nation mostly governed by Liberals and its not likely to change any time soon. And because they have gotten to govern so much, our Senate, civil service, Supreme Court, and our courts, have been thoroughly stacked by Liberal appointees who make it very hard for the Conservatives to govern when they do get their odd turn at the wheel.

@jeffcanadamson to keep things fair and sustainable maybe OAS should redistribute 1% of it's payments for every 1% the federal government cuts away from public sector wage bill and into tax breaks for private companies that hire Canadian citizens in tech, mining, defence, and other strategic sectors

The real purpose of this is so everyone will be required to use government issued ID to prove your age for access. No exceptions.

Canada is a failing startup without the self-awareness and willingness to pivot whether top-down or bottom-up, the country is acting like children and luddites rather than pioneers and innovators in order to thrive, we must establish a healthy regulatory environment

No economy can thrive if government debases the coinage. No society can be fair or stable when inflation eats up savings and devalues the pound in everyone's pockets. Inflation threatens democracy itself. We've always put its defeat at the top of our agenda. For it's a battle which never ends. It means keeping your budget on a sound financial footing. Not just one year, but every year—and that's why we need Nigel Lawson. Second, men and women need the incentive that comes from keeping more of what they earn. No one can say that people aren't interested in their take-home pay. If that were true, a lot of trade union leaders would be out of a job. So as economic growth has taken off, we've cut income tax. And as soon as we prudently can, we'll do it again.

yes @_gdelgado is correct and this is why the problem is far more insidious if enterprise can act far quicker than governments and still suffer massive breaches, what does that say about governments that do not act with urgency? tick tock 🐰👉⏱️
