I think it is fair to say that generally speaking, 95% of our provinces are very much in debt. And if you add the Federal gov't debt, it is hopeless.: $3 Trillion. 
Manitoba can't even afford to keep the lights on, yet they produce much electricity...Bad management, corrupt politicians, greed, abuse, you name it.

  • We live near a small town but not in town. The town is dying and as a small population. It amalgamated a decade ago because of the small population and i predict another amalgamation may happen in the future. However, I was reading the council meetings and the way they manage money is not good. Blowing it on unnecessary things. But there is no incentive for government to manage taxpayers' money responsibly.
