We will be fine: just borrow some more money to pay for more women teachers, healthcare workers, and government paper shufflers. :)

The hard decisions that need to be taken are: 

- radical downsizing of the public sector
- adjustment of tax regime to fit the need to encourage growth in the digital economy
- the facing of some raw facts: average Canadian incomes will go down not up (barring Canada inventing a whole new way of making energy etc.). In this context, taxes have to come down. In order to do this, the public sector needs to be downsized and reduced in costs. The future is with a digital economy but for most, that digital economy will not pay as much as what the previous industrial economy paid. The world has changed. Canada can still thrive but it needs to get the tax and government monkey off peoples backs.
