NDP leader Thomas Mulcair says Canada is infected with some ailment known as Dutch Disease. Dutch Baloney we say. The NDP leader’s vague concern for what might happen when the oil runs out (a hundred years from now?) is just drivel. No one expects the course of Canada’s economy to be perfect. We live in the real world like everyone else. We will deal with it. But this dithering about what might happen some day is foolish. We’re reminded of the late astronomer Carl Sagan who concluded that there was an epidemic of irrationality loose in the world . We needed baloney detector kits to protect ourselves, he said.
