We should have corporations paying their fair share, and improving the majority, instead of improving the select few. The Norwegian Social Democratic government, with there Oil Fund (the world's largest), has over $570 Billion, compared to Alberta fund, which has $14 Billion with their massive Oil Sands.
But many right wingers wont allow this because they don't want Canada to become an even more "socialist" country. Look how the USA is turning out?

Well, I for one don't want that. I like the balance we have, and don't want to see it disrupted, NDP style.
I have no problem with people earning, and working their fair share, with a healthy safety net, that is relied on as that, a safety net, not a hammock.
And apart from the peacenik hippies, I think most people frustrated in the US would be looking for just afair system where people can get ahead.
