Grassroots, if you look at where government spends money, the bulk of it goes to health, education and transfers to individuals (CPP, OAS).

I suppose you could always cut back on government ministries, but then people would complain about that as well.

If you were in charge, where would you get the extra money?

Zip, if people decide not to vote, why is this a bad thing? To me, all this indicates is that people are relatively happy with the government of the day.

If this were not the case, casting a vote would take on greater importance and you would see higher turnout. I bet this will be the case in the upcoming U.S. election.
