Unfortunately, once a nation begins down the slippery slope of economic collectivism- the philosophy that everyone's income and property is to be considered common property (communism) to be re-distributed by the state- there is no possible objective line to limit this intervention.Iain G.

Instead of bringing Canadians together, it simply tears them apart. Transfer payments can always be adjusted to make up for changes in equalization. At the very least, I would support keeping it if an independent board was appointed and they would decide on it. This would take the politics out of it, which is what is really messing it up.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859678.post-21042280184977343522008-06-04T22:51:00.000-04:002008-06-04T22:51:00.000-04:00Zolton - please use the word "they're" correctly. ...Zolton - please use the word "they're" correctly.
