Muskrat avoided Stats Can?

Muskrat Muskrat and the people who will be left to pay for it.

Yesterday's National Post - read full story HERE

Of interest: "The shrinking East Most projection scenarios show Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick all losing population over the next 25 years. This is because of their relatively older age structure, their small share of Canadian immigration and their tendency to lose people to other provinces. Newfoundland is projected to be the hardest hit, dropping to 455,600 under the medium-growth scenario from 526,700 in 2013. "

What will the debt loads be for that 455,000 people in 25 years? How many of our children today will stay - considering the debt burden placed on them? Will the population numbers then be worse?

We need a change now. We need to do some serious reflection - particularly on the Muskrat fiasco.
