It's something to take into account, yes, when that was the only program some of them could count on.
I'm not talking about scrapping OAS- just trimming the inarguable fat.
That 81 is now 90 for 2024.
Yes, just like all the rest of social spending
Yes. Unlike, say, health care, day care, (soon to be) dental care, the CBC, DND...
Will there ever come a day when WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN stuff?
Once all the social program spending is gutted to pay for green initiatives and all the other new Liberal special interest programs that will flow out of the next election.
It's not my original idea. But it's one that a non-hypocritical CPC should be universally behind.
Yes. I'm pretty sure my Carl Barks and Don Rosa Library collections and all my tiny toy soldiers/tanks/ships are never going to be federally subsidized.
The part of the carbon tax not returned to taxpayers? A couple of billion there into general coffers.TIL: general revenues are not contributed to. Where do they come from, one might wonder. A pot'o'plenty at the foot of a rainbow, surely.
Any idea what the net would be, given that presumes Club Fed no longer raking in loadsa dough via the Carbon Tax? I suspect (happy to be proven wrong) a load more comes in than goes out, meaning the rebate portion would be more than covered now, and not so much if the tax was axed.
The problem is school lunches, dental care, housing, day care. No matter what trudeau is trying to pull, those are all provincial jurisdiction. However, it's nothing new. Trudeau is trying to nationalize all these things and bring provincial jurisdiction under one federally controlled social conscript. Last week he flew into Alberta, unannounced, didn't invite the province to participate in his presser on federal housing initiative. Yesterday he flew into BC, again unannounced, held a presser on his school lunch program without the province in attendance or knowing. Then flew out before anyone could respond. His intention is to make premiers and provincial programs irrelevant. Centralized control of everything.
Provinces should be able to make Trudeau persona non grata.
According to the recent debates in the HoC leading up to April 01, it's something like 2 billion to the government after all rebates are handed out. Let me look,for an article.
If our Premiers were smart (which they aren't), they would file suit against Trudeau, hopefully getting it to the SCC to review the division of powers under the constitution.
He's bringing in money that will free up money for them to do their own vote buying. Why would they bite the hand that feeds?
with conditions. No free lunch right?
Our electorate in Canada has no idea how our system of government, constitution, or laws work. This is due to both ignorance, lack of a proper education, and honestly... a large media consumption of news from south of the border. Just look at how many of the Trucker protestors were trying to exercise their right to be Manitoba and you'll have your answer.
That’s not something you do as a catch-all. Rather, the provinces would need individual standing to bring matters to court either as the applicants themselves, or as intervenors in another province’s legal action. See for example the case Alberta succesfully brought that struck down a portion of the environmental review legislation that encroached into provincial jurisdiction.
That sounds at least in the right neighbourhood, but that must also mean they're pulling in more than that, so if ALL off that revenue disappears, what's now the rebate pot will also be gone.
