@SeeKyleRunNGun@billinformed@bruce_arthur That's a lie. My husband is treaty and pays plenty in taxes. I am Metis and I pay plenty in taxes. We both think land acknowledgements are ridiculous and that almost every form of Canadian governance is broken and ineffective.
@Sparkeysf@Jeremy_@notgwendalupe I don't think it's an either/or situation. JT has destroyed Canada and Carney is about to finish it off. You can hate your government while understanding how your neighbours have been suffering.
@Sparkeysf@Jeremy_@notgwendalupe As a Canadian who has had to endure nearly 10 years of the guy's utterly embarrassing stint as PM, his shady past, failed governance, every hypocritical stance, and the fact that this mid-50s man-child is doing exactly what he lectured Canadians to not do... it's is strange
@Sparkeysf@Jeremy_@notgwendalupe The man is a living, breathing contradiction and let's not discuss the multitude of scandals, more than the number of years he was in office.
@Sparkeysf@Jeremy_@notgwendalupe After lecturing Cdns last year about not traveling to US, banning single-use plastics (only straws & bags though, cups seem to be okay?) penalizing us with carbon tax and pushing climate policies & narrative while simultaneously flying everywhere on a private jet w/ tax dollars.

Based on Auditor General reports and diverse sources, a rough estimate of untracked or mismanaged Canadian federal taxpayer funds from 2016-2026 is $40-70 billion. Major cases: $32B in COVID benefits (ineligible/unverified), $5B Phoenix pay fixes, $29B Trans Mountain overruns, $60M ArriveCAN (untrackable costs), $200M McKinsey (poor oversight), $135M SDTC (ineligible/conflicts). Figures vary by source.
@gator_gum@Timsiebs We don't pay disproportionately but we receive disproportionately... but I also know that I'm wasting my breath because your refusal to acknowledge this is evident in all your replies.
@LukaszukAB For the past 10 yrs the feds have continually negotiated in bad faith with AB and have proven continually that they care more about their ideological politics than they do about Canadians, and care even less for Albertans. Forever Canadian will achieve nothing but the status quo.
@Garnet_2203 They can figure it out just like they did before. For fuck sake, you’re acting like going to the office is some kind of new thing. The entitlement of these people is off the charts.
@JakeLandauTO Not exactly. It’s more like women going undercover exposing the lack of guardrails on the abortion industry in Canada. Who knows how much $ people are making by parting out babies.
@d3tuned@tired_albertan@ABDanielleSmith@Alberta_UCP More than that. Funding is 70% per student funding, but independent, accredited schools do not get capital or operational funding so it works out to about 40% when those are factored
