Unfettered Spending Indicative of Moral Deficiency

Sadly most Canadians display little financial discipline, whether in their personal affairs and or in the finances of their state. Although politicians have ultimate pull on the nation’s purse strings, blame for our collective debt is equally shared by an enabling and entitlement-hungry citizenry, which demands profligate spending from its elected officials.

I Miss the Separatists
