health care: The fact is that we need humans. We need them in Canada, and we especially need them in Nova Scotia. We need them to work and pay taxes to support state provisions such as education and health care, according to The Chronicle Herald. We re fighting a two-front war of demographics and The recent brouhaha around the crackdown of the temporary foreign worker program has the hallmarks of a political storm and not without some reason but the storm and crackdown will not make the elephant in the room go away. There are many sophisticated economic analyses and forecasts enumerating the demographic problem some have called it a bomb but when you boil it down to the basics, you get this: We arent having enough kids to replace ourselves. Theres a big chunk of us retiring. The number of people available to work and pay taxes is shrinking. At the same time, we re getting older as a population and the demand on services such as health care is increasing.
