The grey tsunami is coming










How to avoid it? According to London Free Press columnist Licia Corbella, the best way is to cut taxes:
The figures show the youngest province by far is Alberta, which also happens to have the lowest taxes and the most robust economy. While the recent economic boom is fuelled in large part by the spike in oil and gas prices, most economists also acknowledge that low taxes in Alberta has helped attract investors and made having children affordable.

The only way to prevent the baby boom from busting Canada's economy is to make it easier and more affordable for young Canadians to have more children -- not through more onerous social programs, but through lower taxes.
Quite a contrast, especially to those [individuals] who suggest we should put our seniors back to work here in New Brunswick as a means to counter an aging population (workforce). *sigh*
