With plummeting oil revenues, the federal government is scrambling to balance the budget and avoid another deficit. Here’s some suggestions on how to do that:
1. Retrofit Royal Canadian Navy to use more fuel efficient sail technology
2. Reduce House of Commons expenses by putting all legislation for next century into single omnibus bill
3. Create a maximum living age to reduce health care costs
4. Reduce bridge spans by 20% to save on infrastructure expenditures
5. Ask single mothers to get a fourth job to increase tax revenue
6. Ask everyone to chip in
7. Release the Territories back into the wild
8. Start offering Tory MPs lower-grade feed, made out of other Tory MPs
9. Give veterans a shiny new medal instead of their pensions
10. Start producing attack ads against the deficit
