Namely, incompetent and dishonest spendthrifts. The budget increases spending in a wide variety of areas, ignoring their own muttering about being fiscally prudent, then lies about it rather blatantly by pretending they're cutting spending when they're really not. And, of course, there's more billions (tens of billions) for a variety of green energy initiatives. But all of them are filled with rules and regulations about how the money is to be spent, including the pay rate of employees. This is another income redistribution budget with zero real effort at increasing productivity or strengthening the economy. The budget points to $15.6-billion in savings, a declining deficit and an easing of the debt burden relative to the economy. Indeed, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland described Tuesday’s budget, her third, as an effort in line with Canada’s “proud tradition of fiscal responsibility.” That is all a fiscal fantasy: the Liberal budget is built on a cloud of sleight-of-hand projections and the hope that Canadians are suffering from collective amnesia. To start with, more than half of the savings touted by the Liberals were announced in last year’s budget, with a review to find and reallocate $9-billion in spending through to fiscal 2027-28. This year’s budget merely fills in some details. And the government’s austerity measures are exceptionally unambitious. Spending on travel and consulting is to decline by 15 per cent – but that is only discretionary spending rather than the entire budget line. And the full savings don’t kick in until two years from now. Even worse, the second part of the Liberals’ fiscal restraint efforts, a 3-per-cent reduction in “eligible” spending, will deliver savings of exactly $0.00 in the coming fiscal year. The remainder of the so-called savings come from reallocating $6.38-billion in previously announced budget measures that, somehow, the government was unable to spend. Rather than taking the smallest step toward fiscal prudence – simply not spending that money – the Liberals have instead chosen to roll those funds into future budgets, with the added temerity of touting that as proof of “effective government.” The Liberals are projecting what looks like a significant cut in real terms in the operating expenses of government, with such expenses dropping from $131.4-billion in the current fiscal year to $119.9-billion three years hence, in fiscal 2026. Prudence incarnate, yes? No, not if one flips through last year’s budget, when operating expenses for fiscal 2026 were projected at $113.8-billion – or in the budget before that, with forecasted operating expenses of $110.1-billion for that fiscal year. In reality, the government is larding on another $10-billion from what it foresaw just two years ago. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editorials/article-the-trudeau-liberals-build-a-budget-on-a-cloud-and-collective-amnesia/

So you can actually carry on a conservation with im about the weather, the left, turnips, anything you want?

You've run out of lies, now you're down to baseless insults. Hasta la vista, rube.

I think you'll find, more than not, Canada's culture is driven by very non-religious things. And if anything Canada's culture is linked to the wide diversity of religions and culture, not just white-bread colonialists who though Reformers in Europe were't pious enough.

I believe in the best get the job,if that's a gay non white Trans,then so be it. And don't make a big announcement about it either. Just pick the proper people.

The federal Liberals are incapable of balancing a budget. Like someone who eats to lose weight, this government spends to lower inflation and debt. It’s a recipe for disaster, but it comes from a government that hands control of our country to foreign governments and believes that debts take care of themselves.

I think PP will be picking ministers based on merit ,not skin colour and gender. That will be a great start. Trudeau doesn't deserve to even be in the running for PM for what he has done to this great country.

A public service held at a hockey arena is not a funeral inside a Christian church. I would assume Muslims, Buddhists and worshippers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster who as as stubborn and obstinate as Blackbird were equally offended. But had the decency not to whine that their faith was not promoted on the nearest internet forum.

This is not my first rodeo dealing with his type. On other forums, we had folks that would go on and on and on about the Vince Foster case. Day after day, they would write page long diatribes and no one would respond... yet they just kept going.

Never say never, WCM has apparently been able to put the truth about 9/11 behind him so there's always hope. Just don't bother trying to hold your breath in the meantime.

It's such a waste of money and resources. This country could do so well if the regulatory and tax burdens were lifted off a little, but instead, we get more borrowing, which means an increasing debt servicing cost that will rise to $50 billion in a few years - or sooner if inflation rises. That's just a waste of money. That's almost twice what we spend on defense. and it's only going to get worse.

With you they fell on deaf ears to begin with - you continue to lie. But now everyone reading this knows you're lying as well. I'm satisfied with that.

That's what it says in the meme you posted. Did you forget that you posted that?

So, christians killing christians??? How appropriate and god like is that LOL You misunderstand or misconstrue. It is you specifically that I am intolerant of, not the entire sect or even religion in general. My background, religious or otherwise is absolutely immaterial when discussing you and your zealous and belligerent attitude. And what country I came from??? There is no nationality required to identify belligerence, there are belligerents everywhere. I am intolerant of all belligerent zealots that accuse those of all number of things that do not agree with them. What I believe is as immaterial because it is you that I am talking to and about, not a religion or sect or cult. My personal life, which has been outstanding, is equally immaterial when talking about you.

So what countries do you feel work culturally? Certainly not the UK or the US. Both are as culturally diverse as Canada. France, Germany, Spain? Are those countries models of cultural integration? Do we need to go to Eastern Europe where the cultural make-up is more homogenous to see examples of a country should be? I think not. Japan is the one Advanced Economy that is quite homogenous and they're headed for a demographic catastrophe as they refuse to embrace immigration and their fertility rate collapses.

Because if you just say Christian then a lot of certain kinds of Christians might think you mean the WRONG kinds of Christians! Judeau-christian reminds all Christians that they are united in a common fundamental belief that this is all the jew's fault.

That pretty much would cover the entire criminal class, for sure.

Did they crucify him because he was a liar? Because that's what you're doing. No fraud involved, you're just lying. Did jesus die because he was a liar? And are you suggesting that lying is an inherent part of christian belief? Buddy - god or no god, a grown ass man should know better than to lie.

All you can do is lie, which shows a hell of a lot more about yours. You repeat a lie that is verifiably a lie again and again - and you claim someone ELSE is out of control and incapable of a civilized conversation? Just stop lying. You're making baby jesus cry.

So? AFAIK Catholics and Protestants have very different ways, in which they pray. In Ontario and Quebec, Catholics seem to have way more sway, politically? Does that annoy you?

He is not the only one accusing you. While you may not like it. The Pope is a world leader and gets the same respect, pomp and ceremony any other political gets. While I do not agree with CdnFox on many things, he is right and it is you that seems out of control with your constant christian banter and demonizing of those that do not agree with you. You are the worst kind of religious zealot. Using the funeral of police officer heros to further your christian ideals. You are a shame to chrisians and religion in general.

If they shouldn’t promote every religion, then they shouldn’t promote any religion. Canada has no official state religion.

Well seeing as christ obviously has instructed you lie in order to spread hatred - why would anyone WANT christ at their funeral? Seems like your imaginary friend is a bit of an ass - always demanding you lie like that.

We didn't. And you are aware of that. You simply repeat the lie. We did spend 20 million on security etc. If you were going to complain about something that would at least be something spent "ON" him. But the 35 billion was not spent on his trip. And his trip was not religious - it was political. It was an apology to the first nations for things done under the church's watch. So - it's money given to the natives so they could address a political issue. You are lying. You know you're lying, this has all been pointed out before and yet you pretend that we paid for his visit. We did not, other than the security etc we do for any visiting dignitary. Does your bible command you to lie?

Or possibly you could cease being so sensitive to this.. it goes both ways. If your belief is so strong and unwavering.. why do you need someone to say the right things at a funeral?

OK, I didn't realize he was an adult. Now, here are some takeaway factors: 1. We know the murderer will never have the ability to legally purchase firearms again. 2. He has identified as a female so we know he's mentally unstable and should probably have been in some kind of professional custody long before this tragedy happened. 3. This casts a new light on this identity bullshit that seems to be taking the country by storm. It may be time to take a much closer look at every lunatic that thinks he or she is the opposite sex. This has been very informative. Thanks for your input!

More exaggeration and hyperbole. What would you do if you could not fill in the blanks with assumptions? Not sure I want to know the answer.

I joke about PP's LGBTQ "squad" but it's probably good to put that kind of moralizing behind us that he puts these tokens in his inner circle. We are a society of shallowness and proudly so.

That is a lie. it was to pay for first nations events around the popes apology. It did not pay for his 'visit'. He paid for the visit - they paid for their festivities. Again - does your bible require you to lie to spread hatred of religions you dislike?

But they didn't. They spent that on the first nations. The pope was there to apologize to them and the gov't gave them money ot organize events. Does the bible say you're supposed to lie to people to try to spread your hatred of other religions?

You get caught lying (again and again and again), and when I call you out on your lies, citing your own words you call me a liar and put me on ignore? ? That all tracks, actually. Bullies are inherently cowardly and are all the same online and off. None of them have a backbone. Will be nice, actually. I can correct your lies without watching you desperately weasel afterward. ?

"impossible choices"... wow, you are quite the drama queen. So when I go to restaurant and order an carnitas enchilada and they tell that they are out of carnitas but they have beef or chicken... that's an impossible. choice. Its a good thing that you do not work in my office. Your constant use of unproven assumptions is both sad and comical .

Why do you think this funeral is about you?

Every country has its share of mentally I’ll, only Amurica arms them to the teeth.

1. YES YOU DID claim that the MFF is specifically for rioters, you pathological nutbag. This is the exact quote from your post: "You know that Kamala Harris publicly called for people to support a fund which was specifically for getting rioters out of jail." ,The "absolute indisputable fact" is that you are a shameless liar. Kamala Harris never said anything about bailing out rioters, yet you claim she did. That is lying. She tweeted about the MFF to support protesters. You don't get to just change her words and invent new meanings for them. Some pathological liars are very smart. You, on the other hand, are as dumb as they come. Like Trump and his "largest crowd ever" and "no rain fell during the inauguration" lies, you just can't help yourself from telling the dumbest, most casually disproven lies. Of course many protesters were arrested for non-violent offenses. MOST of them were arrested for non-violent offenses. For example: In Minneapolis, the city where Floyd was killed, local police arrested 570 people in the ensuing protests — nearly 90 percent of them from the metro area, with the vast majority being charged with curfew violations. Now, according to city and county prosecutors, all but 44 cases have been dropped. There were people "thrown in jail" for a huge variety on nonviolent "crimes" that had nothing to do with rioting. Many peaceful protestors. Occasionally people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time or tried to run away from the "kettling." Here is your challenge: "If you think that they were against the violence and the rioting, I'd like you to find some examples of Dem politicians or MSM pundits excoriating rioters for the destruction of communities" It took about 30 seconds to find quotes of not just randoms, but the POTUS and V-POTUS both condemning violence and rioting in strong language. Hard to see and hear what politicians say when you have your head up your ass. This would be more fun if you were smarter or made even remotely plausible claims. Oy. No one was aware of his "violent crime" until 6 days after the shooting. I posted proof for you--literal screenshots of FOX and CNN breaking the news on the day the police eventually released the robbery video. Yet you still maintain that your (apparently magic) TV showed you the robbery on the same day as the murder. -- You see what I mean, the same stupid, easily disproven pathological lies. You just can't help yourself. The media reported Brown's friends and family describing him as a "gentle giant." No one in the MSM knew Brown to characterize him one way or another, though you're welcome to produce a link of someone directly characterizing him rather than reporting. And when the robbery video became available they reported that perspective as well. Again, hard to know that with your head up your ass. Great, if you can agree that it's unsolved by unknown shooters then you can stop yammering about "a 16 yr old black kid was killed by Chazz police" and whining about how the media didn't cover it. You posted a damn article from the Seattle Times. Hey look, the media covering it! You go on to say: There's no heart-warming/heart-wrenching backstory about "a gentle, happy child" or a sad story of a "troubled, impoverished youth..." in either story to stir up emotions. But you link to an "MSM" article that says this: "Antonio Mays liked video games and rapping and playing with his 7-year-old sister, his family said. He didn’t even own a cellphone. His family called him Little Tony, or Rico." -- “He told my brother he was going to Seattle to be a part of history and protest,” his uncle, Michael Mays, told The Seattle Times, describing the note. “And he just wanted us to be proud of him.” “He was into mischief like any other kid, but he was respectful, he listened, he was just into mischief,” You can't even keep from unraveling your own lies. Jeebus, I'm not sure you could make this any easier. The moral of the story, as always, is that you live in a completely delusional fantasy world and whenever anyone pokes holes in it with facts or evidence you start lying your ass off to spackle over the cracks and then call names and tantrum like a toddler. Grow up. Get a life. Try being a decent, honest person.

I read your post, that's how I know that you absolutely were forced: you had to do it or there were unacceptable consequences. That meets the definition of forced. FYI physical contact isn't required to meet the definition. Just because you weren't extremely averse to it, or caved fairly easily, doesn't mean that you weren't forced, and the decision to knuckle under wasn't necessarily as easy for other people either. Some people have kids in school or daycare and they can't make a 2pm trip downtown. Now you know.

This place has become a big bonobo monkey cage, with you people all f*cking each other non-stop. We more civilized Apes are moving to another tree.

If they aren't paying property taxes, they aren't supporting the infrastructure and services they use.

I said it was poorly written and conceived, and in your petty little pea-brain the only thing that this could possibly mean was that I was commenting on the language skills contained in the document, and that the Supreme Court would strike down laws on that basis. You're pathetic. ? You can't even keep the conversation straight. Here's a recap of this specific sub-topic: So you start off telling me I claimed the judges commented on the notwithstanding clause (which I didn't), and then you insisted I go back and reread my posts, which I did, confirming that I didn't, and now your "quote" proving that I did is talking about something completely different. That's funny shit man. ?? Try not to confuse yourself too much here.

I'm highlighting that, once again, you are making up dumb shit for yourself to argue against. Sure, brb... Nope didn't say that! As usual, you're proving you're not worth engaging with. You're just arguing against your own made up points again. Sure, but it didn't start under Trudeau, it started under Harper and continued under Trudeau. As far as violent crime goes, it's overwhelmingly due to increased reports of sexual assault. It's almost like correlation and causation are two completely different things! ?

? Are you suggesting my comments were about the bill's prose, or syntax? ? I never said the judges made any claim whatsoever about it. I made my own comments on it. ? So would you say its use could potentially be abused then? ? "You dumb. Me win argument". Mommy would be so proud of you. Given that the spike in violence mostly due to an increase in reported sexual assaults since 2014, I wouldn't say that has anything to do with Harper, or Trudeau, or mandatory sentencing. It's nice little tale you're spinning though.

It's basic human decency to uphold vague/broad and poorly written legislation? ? Evidently the laws weren't fine, according to 5 conservative appointed Supreme Court Justices. You have to be 11 different kinds of dim to think you know better than these judges, and to not understand the implications of the notwithstanding clause, which was conceived to be used rarely and sparingly rather than whether you didn't like the outcome of a court decision. I think maybe you need to do that, otherwise you need to explain what you think is wrong. ? Because he is "pro-criminal", obviously. ?

Why would he though? They were poorly written and poorly conceived laws that were expected to be challenged and fail when they were implemented, and using a constitutionally murky tool like the notwithstanding clause to subvert the Courts would have been stinky. Over half of the Supreme Court Judges ruling against these are Conservative appointees, and the (Liberal) Justice Department had asked them to uphold the Law. The Supreme Court also invited the government to rewrite the laws and fix what was wrong, rather than just shut the hole thing down as in principle. Trudeamanbad though, so we obviously have to blame him for everything. ?

Oh blah, blah, blah. So instead of "You know that Kamala Harris publicly called for people to support a fund which was specifically for getting rioters out of jail.", it should have said: "You know that Kamala Harris publicly called for people to support a fund which was specifically for getting TO GET rioters out of jail.", Now it is 100.0% grammatically correct. Does that change the way you feel about it, princess? You know that's an absolute fact and yet you want to pretend that she wasn't trying to get rioters out of jail. You're the worst, scummiest form of liar there is. That woman was openly advocating for violence, and then supporting the actual criminals after they committed serious & violent crimes, but you wanna get hung up on semantics, because somehow you feel like my choice of words is more important than the VP's open support of violence. You're going on ignore now you stupid, lying POS.

YOU ARE DUMBING DOWN the conversation with your GRATUITOUS CNN reference.

Just like you to regurgitate editorials and Fox News BS than actual facts.
