New data reveals Canada's senior population is expected to exceed 11 million people by 2043.

No, because we're still refusing to tax at the level needed to maintain services. We'll try anything--anything--except returning marginal tax rates to 1960-something levels and building things directly.

Because doing the right thing would mean the 30-year-plus neoliberal experiment was a failure, and all we did was make rich people richer.
