Take action on government debt
In Saskatoon, National Communications Director Scott Hennig encourages Canadians to contact cabinet ministers and MPs telling them to deal with the federal debt. Scott says the federal government started paying down the debt in the 1990s because Canadians wanted it. The visit was part of the CTF's National Debt Clock Tour to raise awareness of growing government debt. The tour started at Mile 0 in Victoria on February 22, 2011 and is expected to wind up in Halifax, the last week of March.

Can I pay off my share of the National Debt??
I figure that if I pay off my portion of the national debt that the Feds will not be able to increase my taxes and even better, my tax amount would have to be reduced due to there being no interest on that debt I paid. It would only take me about 5 years to break even and thereafter would be ahead of trheir game.
