 O Canada! A National Swan Song? (washingtonpost.com)
This approach holds that Canada is a kinder, gentler, fairer society than the United States because of national health insurance, generous welfare benefits, gun control, protections for minorities against discrimination and hate speech, subsidized university education and fiscal policies that redistribute tax money from wealthy provinces to poor ones.
Even Tom Axworthy, the staunchly nationalist former principal secretary to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, warned that if Canada failed to create a more productive and innovative economy, its corporate assets would soon be "picked clean" while the government would be unable to afford national health insurance and other cherished social programs.
The uneasy merger of English- and French-speaking Canada to form the nation in 1867 was prompted by fears that the Union army, fresh from its Civil War victory, was planning an invasion.

As former finance minister for New Zealand and professor of economics at Queenstown she has spent considerable energy studying this history of national income accounting, the fertile fallacies of eternal economic growth, and the obfuscation of measuring that which makes life worthwhile, such as unpaid women’s work and the unpriced services of nature (Waring, 1988).

Or, "Why I don't the Conservative Party of Canada to be thorough-goingly libertarian." In yesterday's National Post, here, Brian Chen, self-described as "a teenaged, card-carrying Conservative living in Ontario," argued against "social conservatism" in the Conservative Party and "for small government and personal freedom." I disagree with Mr.
Many, but by no means all, libertarians do fail to take into account "intermediating institutions." Partly, I suspect, this comes from an over emphasis on economics in much of libertarian analysis, and partly because of an ignorance of the history of methods of social provision prior to the development of the welfare state.
Given the lengths to which Martin and his team have gone just to prolong the life of their minority government for a few more months, one has to wonder how many more ethical niceties they would dispense with if, like Jean Chrétien, they, too, were faced with the implosion of the Canadian federation.

In Ottawa the Liberal Party knew they had a rising star in their firmament, and saw to her advancement by appointing her first as Parliamentary Secretary to the Secretary of State for External Affairs, followed by ministerial office as Minister of National Revenue, and seven years as Minister of National Health and Welfare.
Stridency was unknown in her approach to seeking solutions in welfare and health issues, and in her person she embodied human traits that came peeping through the ministerial aura of power surrounding holders of high office.
In the latter office she was an unwavering supporter of the federally and provincially funded National Health Act, and did much to assist alleviate the plight of the poorest in society.
