We will have to make sacrafices - April 17th, 2015

 April 17th, 2025  

The global system of economics is changing.  It is not going to go back to what we have been used to for the last 35 years.  This change will mean sacrafices for all Canadians.

We will need a stronger and more robust government, and that will cost money, money that will come from businesses or individuals in Canada.  It will mean a sacrifice. 

• Economic growth will be much slower for years and this means wages will stagnate
• There will need to a constant campaign to protect Canada as a nation state
• Taxes will have to rise
• The government will have to provide more services especially in areas the private sector is doing now
• The most important issues globally will be off the table for a number of years - think climate change
• Military spending will rapidly increase as will the nuimber people in the Canadian Forces.  How much will we spend?  within a couple of years $60,000.000.000 a year, and within six to seven years it will be $100,000,000,000.  That is about $2400 per Canadian per year, up from under $1,000 a year
• We will need more robust defences of civil society and that is not going to go over well with the narcissistic freedom whiners.  Another anti-freedom truck convoy is probable

This is not going to be easy; people will have to lower their expectations.  It has been 43 years since we last had a major economic crisis.  What will happen is going to a lot worse.  No one is left who was an adult the last time when the shit really hit the fan.
