A few weeks ago, Prime Minister Paul Martin said something during a media scrum that has been eating at me ever since . He said Canadians have to lower their expectations.

I'm sure it was only a coincidence, but it was almost word for word what former PC finance minister Michael Wilson told us, about the time we were clubbed with the GST.

Just so we're all on the same page I wonder how much lower should we set our sights this time? Brazil? Argentina? Bolivia ? How about a nice Mexican standard of living ? Or is that expecting too much?
