   Most of provincial does, most of Ottawa does not.  Most of 0ttawa is   
   corruption spend.  Bailouts, big fat government with big fat pensions,   
   pomp, egalitarian bullshit.   
      
   0tawa spends less than 25% of the take on itself, and self funded   
   pilfered CPP/EI, education, health and LE.  Government actually spends   
   more on itself than it does the people.

   How do Canadians benefit from big ticket items like $5 billion for glass   
   houses, billions in transfers from African banks to natives to shut up?   
     Or for the growing multi-billion par-lame-mentry system?  $1.3 billion   
   in bombs for Libya, or $40 billion for F35s we will never use in   
   protection of sovereignty.  Or CIDA funding Pakistan for food while the   
   government makes nukes?   
      
   As I said, we need a more Canada less 0tawa movement.   
      
   Tag line says why the government can't fix economic problems.   
   --   
   The reason government can't fix the economic problems is government is   
   the problem.
