There is a strong disincentive, especially in Canada, to pursue a fiscal conservative policy.

Is that because people tend to turn optional things into pretend compulsory things, and then demand these costly compulsory things be provided/funded?

I see what you did there. :P

In general though, it's because people think they can vote in governments which will allow them to get more from the system than they put into it.

Not going to change. Canadians in general are completely clueless on the most basic economic/financial/monetary concepts and a big portion of this country believes that the government is the best and most appropriate allocator of capital. There’s no fixing that.

There is fixing that, it just looks really ugly.

These aren't just opinions, they have a real world impact. You can only try to run an economy by avoiding the free flow of capital, free markets, and price discovery for so long. Then it implodes.
