For me the real issues are the struggling economy, job creation, raising minimum wage, better health care services, ivestment in cities, the environment, more and better aid, inner-city poverty reduction, education including lowering college and university fees, eliminating corporate tax loop holes and giving tax breaks to the lowest income earners and providing a social security blanket for those with mental/physica ldisabilities and low-income families. I realize some of these issues are dealt with at the provincial level, however, the federal government can always support these projects with provincial transfers and federally mandated programs. ]]> Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:35:00 -0400 http://Aglobalcitizen.tigblog.org/post/477025 43.6666667 -79.416666743.6666667-79.4166667
