The most monstrous binge ever imagined is to be unleashed in Canada. Last week’s throne speech spelled it out.

Putting political affiliations aside, ask yourself this: if Justin Trudeau, Jason Kenney and Naheed Nenshi arrived at your door asking for a loan to start a new business, would you give that trio your hard-earned savings?

Maybe you’d first ask how many successful enterprises they’ve started from scratch, in the past? How many folks now work for them and if the top and bottom lines of their various companies’ balance sheets are expanding at a decent clip.

You’d wait a long time for any answer that would make you eager to pull out that chequebook, I’d wager.

Yet all three, in eye-watering levels of hubris, believe they’re up there alongside J.P. Morgan, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs in being creators of wealth and jobs.

Certainly, they’re no slouches in spending other people’s money to prove how adept they are in such remarkable feats of entrepreneurship.

Our mayor, presiding over a city with one of the highest levels of unemployment in North America, loves nothing more than doling out cash from a $100-million job-creation fund or nipping off to India to try to bring huge new investment into Calgary.
