Cheaper to live in London England

[perfecho]

And the bail outs really get to me...many cry "free enterprise" and yet governments pick winners and losers all the time...with who they support. Lets call it what it is, but at least be fair about it..the Alberta Oil sector is certainly one of those....

govt. certainly pick winners and losers

. seed laws , blocking generics with regulations. duties etc.

power given to groups to control supply

unions , professional associations, like DR.s, dentists . pharmacists .
keep the supply low , and drive up the price.

the cost of London
unless you are very rich , (with a huge tax saving) everything there i saw cost almost double , what it costs here.

There is no doubt Chrétien and Marten reduced the federal debt but they did it by cutting transfers to the provinces. Look at Ontario, they have added over 150 billion to their deficit since 2003.


As for your dislike of governments picking winners and losers I believe that is exactly what Premier Notley intends to do with the 3 billion a year she will collect from the carbon tax. Time will tell.


One other interesting article I read this morning pointed out that Justin Trudeau promised in the election campaign to spend 10 billion a year on infrastructure. In the newly released budget he will spend 2.7 billion in 2016-2017 and 3.9 billion in 2017-2018. A far cry from what was promised and with triple the deficit. Have a good day:-)
