[QUOTE="klein, post: 748295, member: 23950"] Yup, and in good times, taxes get reduced. Like the GST from 7% down to 5%. Just like a normal household would balance a budget. Once you have some debts paid off, better times can start. You have extra money leftover. I guess Canada doesn't believe in leaving debts for grandchildren and great grand children to pay. And we shouldn't. Here's what the BBC thinks of us, today, after the G meetings : TORONTO - With hundreds of reporters from around the world in Ontario to cover the G8 and G20 summits, the average Canadian might wonder: What are they saying about us? While the majority are focused on the key issues brought up by their own leaders, it's inevitable a little commentary on the host country sneaks into media reports. In the English media at least, it looks like the Brits want to be more like the Canadians, on the subcontinent the Indians are awed by fortress Toronto and the Americans, well, they're just taking it all in. The BBC's Caroline Hepker raised the profile of the Canadian economy across the Atlantic with a piece headlined "Why we all want to be Canadian now." While examining the country's banking system, its rules on mortgages Hepker even manages to throw in a maple syrup mention as she explains how the G8 and G20 summits are a crucial opportunity for Canadian policy makers. "The Canadians, it seems, have answers for even the toughest puzzles and they are keen to share their strategies with the rest of the world," she writes. "Why in this economy, we all want to be Canadian." [/QUOTE]
