A couple of things jump out at me here. The first is the false statement that keeps getting repeated so that otherwise informed people think it's true. There was ONE person with a Confederate flag and ONE person with a swastika, and both these people were outside influencers that we immediately shut down. STOP repeating this lie! The second comment I would make is that the Truckers and their supporters weren't asking for financial reform or help from government. They want LESS government control in all aspects of our lives. Treat us like adults that can make our own decisions and stop lying to us and spying on us. How can government help? Give us accurate data, not politicized, and get out of the way. Help the truly poor and disadvantaged for sure, but stop buying votes and controlling the media.

Now, housing is another issue, and we see 2008 looming once again. Thanks for your insights into that problem.

Excellent, perspicacious article. Many feeling disillusioned by government obfuscation and inaction on the housing file. Terrible financial burden for new generations. Can't believe there is any support at all for current governing parties. If young people stay out of housing market, they will be poor tenants in the future. If they get in the market, they will be house poor or living in a shoebox.
