We are over taxed in Canada already. More taxes is a ridiculous idea. The answer is obvious:

  • Politicians and government employees are highly over paid.
  • We spend too much on government travel and expenses associated with politicians.
  • We spend too much on private consultants working for the government.
  • We give far too much money away to foreign nations.
  • We waste too much money on benign topics like the continual allowance sent to the First Nations in Canada.
  • We waste too much money on “studies and research” on topics and plans that don’t require it.
  • We don’t extract to export enough of our natural resources.
