I get a chuckle thinking of leading lights of big government debating the Nobel Prize winner, Milton Friedman. If it was a prize fight it wouldn’t last a round. Today is the birthday of who many call the greatest economist of the last 100 years.

Which is why so many have trouble even entertaining the thought that the UK could be better off outside the 40,000 plus EU Acts that cost $47 billion a year to comply let alone the EU’s 62,000 international standards.

Maybe our children should. After all they’re the ones who are going to pay for them but in the meantime – it’s full speed ahead on borrowing and spending in good times and bad.

We can chalk this one up to fake news.  UK’s Channel 4 News has done a take out on the oil sands and to say it’s misleading and one sided is generous.  It’s more accurately to call it propaganda.

Healthcare spending is up at every level – every year. Billions more are spent but there has been no appreciable change in waiting times. Why?  Most Canadians don’t understand that the system controls costs by making you wait.
