"We need a strong private sector with good incomes to support our social service,".... yes, we do. However, for that to happen we need steady rising business investment and that we do not have.  In Canada new investment in plant and equipment does not even equal current levels of depreciation. Unless that number turns around there will be no new capital formation.  

lack of new business investment leads to poor productivity performance, which ultimately leads to a lowering of the country's potential growth rate.  It's a spiral downward in the land of Wynne and Trudeau.  This will not be remediated by government spending.  Sad, really sad.
