This is the very essence of the choice facing Canadians in this federal election. The regressive tsunami in the U.S. is a perfect predictor. We have never had such a clearly illustrated preview of what might come. The warnings are loud, constant, and detailed. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ap...
