Canada Is A Vast And Empty Country.

I Do Not Intend To Dispute In Any Way The Need For Defence Cuts And The Need For Government Spending Cuts In General. I Do Not Share A Not In My Backyard Approach To Government Spending Reductions.

Look, I Think The Worst Case Scenario Is Obvious. I Think First Of All It Doesn't Work For Very Long. It's An Unstable Government That Raises Taxes And Destroys The Image We're Building For Canada As A Strong Place To Invest.

There's Unfortunately A View Of Too Many People In Atlantic Canada That It's Only Through Government Favours That There's Going To Be Economic Progress, Or That's What You Look To That Kind Of Can't-do Attitude Is A Problem In This Country But It's Obviously More Serious In Regions That Have Had Have-not Status For A Long Time.

There Is A Canadian Culture That Is In Some Ways Unique To Canada, But I Don't Think Canadian Culture Coincides Neatly With Borders.
