Yet day after day the Liberals jump to their feet to proudly announce that Canada is the best country in the world to live in.</p>\n<p>When one compares Canada with other countries in the world, there is no contest. Even if things were two or three times as bad in Canada it would still be the best country in the world to live in.</p>\n<p>I would like to suggest a different test for the Liberals to ponder. Compare how Canada is now with all these problems and how it could be were it not for 25 years of irresponsible Tory and Liberal governments. That is the real test.</p>\n<p>By the way, as of this morning our national debt stands at $536,017,269,801.89. Shame on that irresponsible government.</p>",
