Your Two Faced Climate Change Fighting, Pipeline Killing, Oil Project Approving, Let's Pump More Oil in Light of Russia Sanctions Liberal Government

 Liberals drive away pipeline investment, yet now want to magically pump even more oil in light of Russia oil sanctions; Liberals want to increase carbon taxes annually to "change our behaviours" even though oil price is at near all time highs - changing our behaviours; Liberals want to reduce (enforce?) Emission reductions over one entire oil and gas industry yet approves another oil project...

Look Out Canada: Your Elected Liberal, but NDP budget Released Today

 "...NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh should have pushed for a formal coalition with the Liberals. He could have been finance minister and taken full credit for Thursday’s budget, which, if he didn’t write it, is certainly being written to appease him.

The budget is expected to include a whole slate of costly and expansive NDP priorities that will combine with the Liberals’ own pricey policies to create not just big government, but mammoth government: a government that is not just big in terms of how much it spends, but in its ambition to federalize every area of Canadian life..."

Who Really Owns Real Estste in Canada? Who Knows?

 "...Ownership of real estate in Canada is also difficult to pin down. Property can be held by a private corporate entity, including one outside the country, and there is limited visibility into “the ultimate control persons” due to a lack of disclosure requirements, according to Caylor of Bennett Jones..."

Canada's "Vacant" Jobs Issue (If Real) and NDPLiberals' Response: With 6.5% unemployment in January (almost double the USA) and +411,000 permanent residents arriving in 2023

 With 6.5% unemployment in January (almost double the USA) and +411,000 permanent residents arriving in 2023 this is the answer ? More absurdly, advocating "temporary" foreigner workers to have "permanent" resident status?

"...The federal government will also remove a restriction that forbids employers in regions where the jobless rate is higher than six per cent from using TFWs in retail and food service.

Before the pandemic, employers had to fill out paperwork every six months to show they couldn’t find domestic workers to fill the jobs. During the pandemic, the rule was relaxed to nine months. Now, those applications will only need to be completed every 18 months..."

When Government Benefits Become Rights - Who and How To Pay For Them?

 "...And the cost? Like everyone else, France runs on debt and deficits. If you’re on the left you probably don’t care much, if you’re on the right you probably wake up wondering when the reckoning will come. In general revenue terms, the Tax Foundation, using figures from the Organization for Economic Competition and Development, places the French tax system 35th out of 36 countries in terms of its competitiveness, attraction for investors and impact on workers and businesses.

Canada ranks 20th on the same list. Comparing the two, Canada ranks much higher in individual taxes (mainly income taxes), drawing 36 per cent of its revenue compared with 21 per cent in France. In turn, the French pay much higher amounts in “social insurance” charges — 32 per cent of revenue against 14 per cent in Canada.

In other words, French taxpayers fork over considerably less as  general income tax, but make up for it with charges dedicated directly to programs for unemployment insurance, pension plans, health coverage, dental, drugs, daycare etc..."
