New study today shows that Canadians spend very little time on food and leisure compared to other citizens worldwide. We are working too hard, and it's making us tired, obese and generally grumpy :) That part wasn't in the study but I'm not a pundit for The National so I can say that instead of just thinking it.
One last thing - all of those tax-cutting types pretend that life in the Nordic democracies is terrible - everyone is overtaxed, the government interferes with everything, it's hard on business. But from this perspective, it looks like they have lots of time for hobbies, visiting, eating and relaxing. I hate taxes as much as the next person, but that seems like a pretty good deal to me . . .
