The shape of the fall debate is coming into focus. One party will speak to people who weren& #39;t terribly badly inconvenienced by the shut down, promising to use other people& #39;s money to remake Canada in a way they describe as fairer and greener. Other parties, speaking for

people who paid a terrible price in the shutdown, will talk primarily about recovering jobs, business income, schooling and normalcy.

It will be a class-based debate as much as anything, with the protected classes - those with protected jobs and income streams - dreaming of dreamy futures - and the at risk classes reaching for security.
