I'm one of these cynics who thinks that people get the government they
deserve.  It's not government greed; it's the financial demands of the
programs we insist on having and demand of our elected persons.

Canadians are great believers in "sacred trusts"; we'll elect anyone who
uses those magic words, even in passing.  For evidence, look to Ottawa.
Sometimes I think if some transient sleeping on a subway grating in
Toronto declared invading Bulgaria was a sacred trust, we'd elect him
with a huge margin, no questions asked.
