    Yeah, I can see why Lori Idlout would want to be in the government making decisions about those billions rather than hanging out in the opposition.

      In the end every voter is out for themselves and their own riding, and we have a tragedy of the commons in government spending. Where someone can win by just dolling out massive amounts of debt, and then letting someone else deal with the bill and the future austerity.

      We now spend more on servicing debt than health transfers, and as far as I’m aware we cant export our inflation like the US can.
