Canadian elections are among the most aggravating in the world. Watching the leaders race around the country, bemoaning problems we don’t have, promising things we don’t need, by spending money we don’t have is exhausting. It’s like watching bad actors in an off-off-Broadway play with no plot, no meaning and no intermission.

Since almost all Canadians consider themselves members of the middle class, odds are you are sputtering at my mockery. I can hear you insist: You are struggling. You are worried about getting ahead. Everyone knows the younger generations are not doing as well as their parents and the future looks even bleaker. How dare I suggest otherwise?
Well, because it’s nonsense.
