It's strain a gnat and swallow a camel. Through minor austerity measures, the federal government is saving $807 million this budget year, but spending $11.4 billion more than last. That's a ratio of 14 to 1. Canada doesn't need tax increases. We need fiscal restraint!

Already the federal debt is past a half-trillion dollars--a per-capita burden of more than $15,300. Visit DebtClock.ca for the current debt total, your personal share, and more background.
