Edmund Pries: Apocalyptic crisis budgeting (in the Toronto Star)

Edmund Pries teaches in the department of global studies at Wilfrid Laurier University.

"Some have pretended that the budgetary crisis is real and not manufactured. Let us be clear: our relative wealth is greater than at any time in our history. Our collective ability to build a strong, caring and inclusive society in which everyone can participate has never been greater. This also holds true for the community of nations: we have the capacity to build a just global society.

"Our preparedness to do so, however, seems utterly lacking..."

Apocalyptic crisis budgeting.

Why can't our citizens see this?! Why else would Harper have given up billions in GST income to put a few hundred bucks in the pockets of each Canadian?
