Not sure that this will go ever well. Actually I’m pretty sure it won’t.
I read the article and finished it thinking "Nope..."
To say this government has a 'fiscal responsibility' problem is an understated epic statement.
And what I mean by that is most Canadians have a lack of faith in this government when it comes to fiscal responsibility...
and most Canadians don't know the half of it.
If we simply take the ArriveCan scandal at $60M+ $42M spent buying back guns after the gun ban took effect (that purchased 0 guns) thats a total of $100 million dollars.
$100 million dollars...to accomplish absolutely nothing...
(How does one spend $42 million buying 0 guns, anyway? If 0 guns were bought, and if my long form math is correct...then after carrying the 1 from the one column to the other and dividing the square root of that number by pie, shouldn't the amount spent to buy 0 guns be $0?)
Those are just 2 things that were caught by the watchful eye of the opposition, and hence have received media coverage.
How many fishy expenses have there been that have flown under the radar undetected? I'm assuming it's more than just these 2 things...
At the end of the day...
You can't spend more money in 8 years than all previous governments
combined and then try to sell yourself as fiscally responsible...
You can't collect more in tax revenue than any previous government (while literally giving your citizens the middle finger) and deliver absolutely nothing for it, and try to sell yourself as fiscally responsible...
You can't waste $102M on absolutely nothing, and call yourself fiscally responsible...
You can't double the national debt, and sell yourself as fiscally responsible...
The list goes on.
Allowing rent payments to be considered on your credit score isn't going to remotely make up for a decade of sheer f*
king incompetence, blatant corruption, and an open contempt towards those pesky little citizens that are beneath them - especially if they have to collect even *more tax now...
And for what?
What is actually so f*
king expensive that is costing us *so much money?
The government is already collecting GST, and a carbon tax, and has raised income taxes -- yet with all that revenue they still run deficits to the order of tens of billions of dollars every year, while giving us nothing to show for it.
So what is actually costing us so much money? Show us what's costing so much before asking people to pay even more tax...
Thankfully our little Gremlin is actually more intolerable than JT himself, and has absolutely ZERO credibility in the HoC when it comes to anything of a financial nature.
The public is tired of being lied to & gaslighted, and isn't buying her bulls**t anymore. But I guarantee that's exactly what she's going to do on her 'big announcement day! ... try to sell the public on stupid ideas to win votes, while telling us how amazing we're doing as a country.
(Which might not sound so absurd if people could watch from anywhere other than their tent city or ATCO trailer...)
