The 'Contraceptive Time Bomb' is about to explode in our economy! Unless we maintain or raise the levels of immigration into Canada we will face the same economic collapse that is facing Western Europe today. All of our social programs are predicated on the continual growth in our population so that there would always be sufficient numbers of wage earners (read tax payers) to fund our pension and medical plans just two areas where we face the almost certain prospect of receiving less from the government than did those who came before us.
Add to this the increase in interest rates which will begin to siphon away even more tax dollars (and the return of severe inflation due to the HUGE increase in the money supply) and we are in for a very rough ride here in Canada.
Times are going to get tough... for all of us - far sooner than most would expect.
'God keep our land, glorious and free....' It may take some divine intervention to keep us in either!

Cristina Alarcon is to be commended for defending the unborn when the opportunity arose. Her blog give details. Good work Cristina.
ReplyDeleteWayne, everyone is welcome to defend whatever they wish as it pertains to them. What is not welcome is for anyone to decide what I must defend!
ReplyDeleteNo one is allowed to make my choices for me. Or deprive me of choices I wish to make.
Sometimes people don't have the ability to make the right choices and sometimes they need help. It is wonderful that there are times we can help others make the right choices in life. I would defend the right of people to ask for guidance and the right of people to give it.
ReplyDeleteThere are no "right" choices. Only different ones.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has the right to ask for guidance or help in whatever they do. But no one has the right to interfere in anyone else's choices until they do ask.
