	Ken Thomson still the richest man in Canada
		The Westons dine with royalty when not running the company store, but that is not true of the Irving family, the reclusive paper, lumber, oil and farming magnates who stay close to home in Saint John, N.B., where they keep an eye on their $5.4-billion.

		Canadians are stuffing their blue boxes full, recycling larger quantities than ever and diverting more waste from landfills, Statistics Canada suggests in a report.

		For an alarmingly large number of Canadians, the loss of a job is compounded by the lack of replacement income.

		For the first time in a long time, Canadians are toying with the idea that it might be time for a change and this uncertainty of intentions is causing some early consternation in financial markets, according to market sources.
		Canadians were enraged thinking that a fund that was supposed to quell separatist leanings in Quebec was instead of being used to enrich friends of the Liberal party.
		Canadians also don't seem keen on an election with one recent poll finding 60 percent of Canadians rejecting the idea of a vote now -- perhaps because they want to see more of Martin and his new team or because they want a better understanding of the spending scandal.

	Improving Social Security In Canada
		Any attempt to divide Canadians into competing groups so that the Government can play one against another in a disgraceful battle for decreased benefits, should be doomed to failure.
		We must not only be concerned with the costs of programs but we must also be concerned with the social and economic costs which will arise as a result of cutting or reducing these programs.
		Despite Canada's status as one of the world's richest nations, a large number of Canadians retire every year with very little money to live on - and only one out of every 100 men retirees are truly wealthy.

	Tax cuts widen gap between rich and poor (Canadian Union of Public Employees)
		The report concludes that either party’s tax cut hits lower income Canadians with a double whammy —a tiny share of any cash in their pockets, combined with the likelihood of major cuts in public services and social programs.
		Meanwhile, a small slice of the richest Canadians make off with the lion’s share of the tax cut windfall, widening the income gap between rich and poor.
		When those services are cut back, eliminated or turned over to the private sector, it’s the poorest Canadians who have the most to lose.

		Less than one in three Americans wishes for a change in the generally laissez-faire approach of U.S. government, whereas Canada and Europe remain largely dedicated to the preservation of the social welfare state.
		The sustainability of the tax gap between the United States and Canada is one of the most intriguing challenges of Canadian public policy, but one that is not under serious threat by the forces of Canadian neo-conservatism.
		Canada has witnessed a slightly growing gap between the rich and others, but evidence gathered by Statistics Canada shows little change in the income distribution over the past twenty years, thanks in part to transfers from the state (rich taxpayers) to the less well off, and "free" access to public services like medicate.

	ReformWatch News: Reform Vs Canadians on the Budget
		According to a 1994 study, 81% of English magazines are imports, overwhelmingly from the U.S. This was the point the separatist Bloc MP Suzanne Tremblay had made, in her defence of the Canadian magazine industry, and which flag-waving Reform MP Monte Solberg misquoted in his attack on this industry.
		Perhaps she was pitting the interests of Canadians against those of environmentalists.
		In an Angus Reid survey conducted at the end of January, only 6% of Canadians backed Reform's position that the Kyoto agreement would be harmful; 46% agreed with the actions proposed in the agreement and 42% said they didn't go far enough.
