SNC is about political interference in the judicial system/Aga Khan is about a charity? giving Dopey a freeby in the Bahamas in return for your $-not trivial @ all!
A few billionaires are necessary to create venture capital & fund new companies-hi-tech or other-success shud not be despised but praised if achieved ethically!
Finally something I agree with you on-no-they don't need $140 oil but they don't need a 15-20% haircut on the West Texas price because they have to ship by rail!
Debt has everything to do with it-U are borrowing against the future-it HAS to be repaid or default & bankruptcy-a very dangerous long term strategy-a province doesn't print it's own currency-nor will the feds bail out a province in trouble!
Might have something to do with oil prices out west because of no pipelines-let Trudashian jump around on his electric pogo sticks with David Suzuki for a while!
I'm OK with anyone trying to wrestle deficits/debt & increasing taxation down so the 'middle class' has more $ in their pocket to save for retirement or spend as they see fit-not by government decree!
Of course not-200 people not working & being replaced by substitute workers all paid for by taxpayers is the issue-total nonsense-in the private sector they'd all be fired!
