"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
