Affordable Housing: Education Reform

Health Care System Dept: The affordability of a higher-quality health care system does merit debate. Also affordable housing, the cornerstone of poverty reduction. Also education reform that better matches students with a workplace that, as a business think tank complained last week, is suffering a desperate shortage of skilled workers despite 1.42 million Canadians out of work, according to The Star. In the short space of a week, an overtly partisan actor a Liberal Party distracted by a leadership campaign was able to collect 12,000 signatures in an online petition opposing cuts to seniors benefits and say what you will of Stephen Harper s success in scaring Canadian seniors with his recent musings about cutting seniors benefits. It does not warrant the public debate that the most charitable of the PM s critics on this issue have tepidly welcomed. The PM is wrong about the sustainability of Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement, paid to the poorest Canadians. And Canadians have let him know it. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
