Several years aoe we had a battle with the Liberal government that was then in power, and Mr. Arnott remendous support throughout the whole ludicrous ordeal.

ANOOP 905-877-CARE (2273) SAYAL Q' How do | get my kids to brush their teeth? located in + You know it’s important for your child’s health. Asa parent, you want to do the right thing. When it comes to regular tooth brushing, though, it’s become a struggle just to get your child to brush their teeth. Some parents, unfortunately, give in and allow their children to neglect good oral hygiene. Don’t make the mistake! Your children should be taught very early how to brush. This can be encouraged as a regular habit by using some of the flavored children’s toothpastes now available. Try to reserve brushing for the same time each day so it comes to be an expected activity. If your child still resists, make a game of it. You may even wish to pretend to be a “dentist” for your child, in the process doing the needed brushing for them. Older children may respond to a reward system that you establish. Perhaps most important, set a good example. Your daily brushing, flossing, and avoidance of sweets will do more to develop good dental habits that anything else.

A must taxes up ... We must focus on getting growth up at the same time as we strive to get spending down. That was former fi- nance minister Paul Mar- tin is 1996 budget speech. He understood how to create jobs and rowth. The 2022 federal budget seems to do the opposite of what Martin called for. It increases taxes, increases spending and spends on consumption — not invest- ent. Since 2015, the Trudeau government has taken the same approach, and it's not working. Ps MICHAEL CHONG Column Astonishingly, the bud- get document — in m opinion — seems to admit this. There's a chart on Page 25 of the budget. It shows the average potential an- wth in real GDP per capita of OECD coun- tries from 2020 to 2060. Canada is dead last. This chart is an indictment of the economic policies of this government over the last six The “pudget increases taxes. It imposes addition- al taxes on large financial institutions, one of the few areas of growth in recent ears. FP} owe See increases nding. It ads 1 mote ethan n $56 billion in new spending over the next six years. This is on top of the spending an- nounced in last Decem- ber's economic updats fe and in last year's budget. In fact, the federal gov. ernment is now spending $70 billion more per year in this budget than before the pand ‘That's | three per cent of the GDP per year in addi- tional spending. It's not sustainable. Despite all this new spending, the Trudeau government continues to fall short 9 on Canada's i ternati al commitments, including defence spend- ing, climate change and foreign aid. Martin understood that budgets s should create jobs by forever setting aside the old notion that new gov- ernment programs require additional spending and by reallocating existing spending for new pro- rams. g . The Trudeau govern- ment has forgotten the les- sons of the 1990s. That is why Canada's growth and prosperity are faltering.
