umm, my parents are from the philippines. they witnessed the country transform itself from one of the richest countries in asia to complete ruin. so contrary to what is contrary to popular belief, i believe canadian politicians are quite efficient.
lowering taxes would probably be the worst thing for this country. we're socialist, remember?

if you want to be rich, move to america. it is impossible to be rich in this country.
We've been here since 1980 and I've witnessed Canada from a country with great potential to a country with not much potential.
Toronto used to be a world class city but not anymore. \
canada used to be a great place to do business but not anymore (you can check that out with the yearly UN's "most capitalist cities in the world") Toronto dropped big time.
I'll agree with you that Canadais a great place to live if :
1. You like communism (socialism)
2. You're not very ambitious
3. You are extremely left wing
4. You dont want to be rich
5. You like blaming society for your problems.
To all potential immigrants...I would choose the US or Europe over Canada.
