Default Wealth

To me the question is not about how our nation can afford CPP or other benefits for seniors; it is where has all the wealth gone?

We have one of the richest countries in the world with one of the smallest populations. We have huge oil reserves, gigantic forests, rich mineral deposits of gold, silver, diamonds, and uranium. Were is all this money going? When I look at a nation like Norway and see the benefits there citizens get relative to what we as Canadians receive I am flabbergasted.

The level of corruption and waste in our government and civil service must be astronomical. The question becomes how do we change it?
