Canadians worked damn hard and sacrificed much in the 90's as a result of the debt and deficit fighting program introduced by then Finance Minister, Paul Martin.   As a result of this fiscal prudence undertaken by the Liberals at the time, Canada was  left relatively unscathed during the Great Recession vs. other nations.  If we allow Justin Trudeau's government to continue on this path, we are just setting ourselves up for another round of spending cuts and tax increases somewhere in the not so distant future.
