This is the political class in one headline:
Run the country into debt for over a decade, blow money on every boutique ideology, consultant racket, subsidy scheme, failed program, foreign cheque, and bureaucratic empire, then suddenly discover “fiscal responsibility” when it is time to cut seniors.
No. Start with Ottawa’s waste machine.
Cut MP salaries. Cut the consultants. Cut the corporate welfare. Cut the bloated bureaucracy. Cut the ideological departments. Cut the vanity climate spending. Cut the foreign virtue-signalling cheques. Cut the CBC. Cut MSM subsidies. Cut the programs that do nothing except employ people who write reports about programs.
But elderly benefits?
That is always where the technocrat brain goes first. Not because it is smart. Because seniors are easier to guilt than bureaucracies are to fire.
Canada does not have a “seniors are too expensive” problem.
Canada has a government-is-too-bloated problem.
The same crowd that told us endless borrowing was compassion now wants Grandma to pay the invoice. That is not courage. That is cowardice dressed up as accounting.
@ShahShite@TWilsonOttawa Is this the new angle the Liberal social media accounts are using? Interesting technique.... a little glowey, but Interesting nonetheless.
@ajsomerset@winnipegsun Tube fed is more common however box fed has (had) been growing in popularity. Your original post insinuated that nobody used box fed for bird hunting, which is a false statement. I'm not the one moving goalposts. So what do you use? Will you be upset once it gets banned as well?
@ajsomerset@winnipegsun Not everyone can afford a $4000 over under. How many people need to use a cheaper, reliable option before you would defend their ability to keep hunting with it?
