@PathosToWhack @pondering_patty @WhiteskInjun @Martyupnorth_2 Your example of economic productivity is a civil servant taking months to format information the government already possesses into a booklet a private company prints? How many times should we do this to eliminate the debt?
@rupasubramanya Investor sentiment isn’t an endorsement that something is good. I recently heard someone who manages billions of dollars describe Canada as potentially becoming slightly less awful, which makes it potentially attractive to invest.
@bruceanderson We’re not required to babysit the whole world.
What sort of world would it be if places and people had to take responsibility for themselves? Much better.
Canadians have been oppressed, brainwashed and had the very soul crushed out of them over the last decade. The Trudeau government has captured the media to serve as their personal propaganda presstitutes, and has weaponized every institution of society to increase their power and wealth while destroying Canada's faith, families, history, culture, values and traditions.
They've even used the military to unleash psychological warfare on their own citizens.
They've imported millions of Third Worlders, and executed a machiavellian plan of anarcho-tyranny.
All of this has left Canadians confused, angry, divided, and despairing. Most of them don't know what has hit them. They don't realize that they're involved in an all out ideological war, and that the other side is winning because their side doesn't even know the war is on.
It's funny watching Canadian legacy media wake from their stupor and wonder what happened "out of nowhere." Here's a quick list to help them gain a better understanding:
2016-Ongoing: Phoenix Pay System
New federal payroll system. Costs quadrupled mysteriously. More costs to fix the quadrupled costs. Actual cost unknown because spending wasn't tracked.
2018: Chrysler Bailout
Liberals wrote off a $2.6 billion loan to Chrysler for unknown reasons. No recovery of funds.
2020: WE Charity Contract
$912 million student grant program contract awarded to WE Charity. Contract cancelled when Trudeau's family were found to be receiving payouts from WE. $30 million in initial costs unrecovered.
2020-2021: COVID-19 Relief Overpayments and Suspicious Benefits
$27.4 billion in suspicious payments through programs like CERB and CEBA. $4.6 billion in overpayments, $1.6 billion to ineligible individuals, $6.1 million to prisoners, and $1.2 million to deceased people. $3.5 billion to ineligible CEBA recipients. Insider payments (corruption) and migrant housing accounted for another $1 billion.
2020-2021: Liberal Ventilators
$237 million on 10,000 ventilators ($23,700 per ventilator) purchased from Frank Baylis, a Liberal MP.
2020-2021: Unaccounted Pandemic Spending
$600 billion in unaccounted pandemic spending in 2020-21.
2021-2023: ArriveCAN App
$59.5 million paid to Liberal insiders GC Strategies on an app hobbyists recreated over a weekend. Estimated real world development cost: $50,000. GC Strategies received $65 million across 106 contracts from 2015-2024 and produced nothing.
2015-2023: McKinsey & Company Contracts
$209 million awarded to the Liberal insider corporation (Liberal ambassador to China, Dominic Barton was also managing director of McKinsey). Nothing of value was ever produced from this "partnership."
2015-2023: Infrastructure Projects Under Catherine McKenna
$187 billion spent on 20,000 projects. Money was untracked and disappeared. No projects completed.
2018-2024: Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
$29 billion disappeared under Liberal management.
2021-2024: Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC)
$400 million misused through conflicts of interest (186 instances), with funds going to Liberal insiders' companies. Conservatives called it the "Green Slush Fund."
2023-2024: Firearms Buyback Program
$67 million in costs. No guns recovered.
2023-2024: Electric Vehicle (EV) Battery Plants
$270 million lost on one plant as part of a $30 billion commitment.
2024: Cricket Protein Plant
$42 million lost on one facility.
$61.9 billion deficit, $21.9 billion higher than projected.
Interest costs $53.7 billion.
$300 million on passport redesign.
Plus billions funneled into Canada's perpetually failing state-funded media.
And this is just what's documented. Who knows how much money was laundered and embezzled into offshore accounts over the last 11 years.
During his time as Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau's personal net worth grew from $7 million to upwards for $400 million on a $400,000 per year salary.
Canada might be poorer than Alabama but Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party definitely aren't.
Let me try to explain how retarded Canada is:
Canada has race-based sentencing policies. Native criminals get shorter sentences because judges are REQUIRED to take "colonialism" into consideration in sentencing.
Native men also kill native women at extremely high rates. And this has created an ideological paradox for Canadian libs, who are permanently confused as to why the killers of native women get disproportionately lenient sentences.
Their explanation? Racism. The courts simply don't care about punishing the killers of native women.
The actual reason? The "anti-racist" policies they pushed for which guarantee native men shorter sentences for killing native women.
But we have to endure academics, journalists, and activists pretending not to know the actual reason why, and taking millions in taxpayer funds to "research" this great mystery every year.
@Tablesalt13 Good, we need to stop facing economic uncertainty to protect a cartel that sells us inferior products at artificially inflated prices. Kill it yesterday, no compensation.
