It's the stupid economy
Today is election day in Canada. David Frum says that the polls show a dead heat between the ruling Liberal party and the Conseratives, who not that long ago lost nearly all of their seats in parliament. Frum thinks the reason for the Conservative's comeback is that, although "Canada prospered in the 1990s, individual Canadians did not." And, in part, that was because "the lion’s share of Canadian economic growth in the 1990s was pocketed by government, especially the federal government."
