The report is from the Frasier Institute, a right-of-centre libertarian organization.

I'll take the study with a grain of salt.

The right-wing propaganda machine is spinning up in a big way as the next election nears. There's blood in the water, and they want to kill hair-boy once and for all.

We can't get direct NDP governance.

We can get INdirect NDP governance. Give us a minority again and let them run the red puppet some more. Focus on healthcare and rank-choice.

We can get NPD governance the minute we stop believing we can't get NPD governance.

I feel this paints Mulroney(1984-1993) way worse than Trudeau.

The chart also doesn't look to hot for the guy running things in 2008 and part of 2015. Whomever that may be...

I wasn't aware that my standard of living was measured by the wealth I can produce for the nation, but I suppose that's how the right-wing views everyone not of the ruling class: as a resource to be strip-mined.
