Mr. Speaker, the American economy is roaring while the Canadian economy is snoring. In the most recently reported economic quarter, U.S. GDP grew three times faster than Canada's, despite our out-of-control population growth. In fact, per person income is lower than it was 10 years ago in Canada, while it has gone up by 18% in the U.S. The gap between U.S. and Canadian incomes is worse than at any time in the last century.
Why will the government not call a carbon tax election so Canadians can vote for powerful paycheques that buy affordable homes on safe streets?
