"The hallmark of Paul Martin's permanent revolution
is the permanent devolution of responsibilities: passing the buck (but
not the bucks) on to lower levels of government and, ultimately, onto individuals.
It implies continued under-investment in health care, early childhood education,
and our cities. It undermines the very nature of the federation. It strangles
community capacities and individual opportunities." Armine Yalnizyan
