Financial means for social reinvestment exist but what about the political will?

OTTAWA--On the eve of the Speech from the Throne, Canada finds itself at an historic moment: will Paul Martin as Prime Minister be any different than Paul Martin as Finance Minister--The Man Who Killed Big Government?

Paul Martin's Permanent Revolution, by economist and CCPA Research Fellow Armine Yalnizyan, details how Paul Martin's reign as the federal Finance Minister brought about lasting change by shrinking the scope and role of government, neutering funding mechanisms, and deeply cutting spending, even for programs the government was committed to providing.

The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
