I am sorry, I miss your point . No, i am not am employer. My comment is based on what I have seen and that my Wife was in Social Services for over 20 years.

There are pockets of pogey all over this country. Welfare, social assistance, or whatever it is called these days is far to easy to get and taking people off is far too cumbersome so, they stay. Guaranteed government income will be exactly the same. Once on, on for life.

"Any of your lives"??? What?? "Coming back with more bullshit"? What? Where? When? Seems that all that ever comes from you is empty accusations. Perhaps it is you that should be the one proving any of what you post?? I asked you a number of questions and you cannot answer them so you post something that makes no sense. Wanna try again and be a bit more succinct? Or are you in some way trying to defend a 2 and 3 year old news clip and saying it is not old news?

No. I do think we should do our part. Thing is though, our part is so much higher than anyone in the world and it punishes our citizens. Lets do our part in complete correlation to the damage we cause. What is happening now is that we pay carbon tax on top of carbon tax,. Your chart is somewhat simplistic because it does not take into consideration the entire supply chain, from seed to product on the shelf and then the carbon tax of the store you buy it from. it compounds at every step. Everything we need and use that is affected by this tax. We are also being carbon taxed on products we don't even make.... What is not considered is how we should be helping our citizens and if taxation is creating detrimental financial and living problems, then we should lower or adjust them. Trudeau saw this and lowered the tax in Nova Scotia. The rest of the country also suffers, why not the rest of t= Canadians?

Canada does not have a overall contribution that makes any difference at all. People need that money from t increase to buy milk for their kids. To buy food for the families. I believe there is climate change. I also believe that there can be other ways than punishing me and my family with higher prices fr things that I need to live. Trudeau and his puppies keep saying we need to be made aware, well, we aware. To tax me and have the gall to say they are giving more back is, far and away, the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Are you going to tax the EV drivers or are they so climate pure and no need to tax them....yet they use all the same infrastructure the rest of us do?

I think you need to differentiate Jews from Israel government. Many Jews in Israel protest the action against Gaza. Like here, the Jews have opinions and care about things that their government seems not to. We are Canadian and we protest our government. That in no way makes us whatever name you choose. I guess we Canadians must be stupid too? And we Canadians ar all leftists too??

The article is from last year so, and from the Peace River BC area in northern BC, whatever this "memo" is implying is old and it is not known if it is direction or just a discussion memo. Interesting sentence is "“We are not law enforcement,” the memo reads. “We have never been responsible for ensuring patients/clients are not in possession of unlawful substances.”" which sort of looks like it is from other the nurses association or some hospital administration. I agree that it is absurd. I cannot see any nurse not reporting or confiscating illegal drugs and weapons before administering care to the patient, it would put themselves in jeopardy. Anyway, as it is last years story, I wonder what became of the memo. Anyway, it is off topic and sorry for continuing on with this.

I read the op ed. While I agree what is said is absurd, if the memo was actually leaked, where is it? Right now it is a couple op ed articles talking about something that is leaked....no validation that it actually exists. Someone must have it and divulge the entire memo so it can be read in full perspective

I can not find any evidence of "more the 1/2 the price is taxes". This is from Aug 2023. It does nto include the recent 3.3 cent carbon tax increase. "The CTF’s Gas Tax Honesty Report shows that taxes make up 32 per cent of the pump price in Ontario, which works out to about 52 cents per litre. " https://www.taxpayer.com/newsroom/news-release-hidden-gas-taxes-drive-up-pump-prices-in-ontario-report The governments (feds and provincial) have always taxed the begeezus out of gasoline. What we are talking about is the 3 cents per litre that was added on April 1. I , like you and the rest of Canada are very much anti carbon tax.

My point is that policies and plans change. What specific situation are you upset about. Did the government use a neewpolicy, modify the old or just go with it? As an example, look what trudeau did with the emergency act when the truckers debacle was going on. he used it, with modifications. As I said, what Mulroney did was changed by Chretien, what Chretien did was changed by Harper. What Harper did was changed by Trudeau. The only thing guaranteed is that with change in government, change will happen. Cannot tell me that when PP becomes PM that he won't make many changes to existing policies and procedures. I do not support it. My issue with guaranteed basic income is who gets it and for how long? Is it once on you are guaranteed for life? Semi or annual reviews? Who administers it? Nationally? Provincially? Locally? The "work" problem is different in all of Canada.

Yes and? Point is, policy, like plans have to change with the situation. I am sure the next government will make changes to policy/procedures/processes and ....plans. Just like Harper did to Chretiens and Trudeau did to Harpers and will go on ad infinitum.

What memo? Written by who? What hospital? Who is BC United? A soccer team?

Dealing with that fool is farting against thunder LOL He won't hear you LOL

Oh, the one armed , one eyed, one legged paper hangar? LOL My Wife saw lots of folks with medical certification. Medical stuff is easy to get. If institutionalized, they would not need guaranteed income. Oh, it is mentally challenged that are the criminals? Everyone will claim mental illness if caught LOL

Policy is a framework. It does not and cannot be all encompassing. Situations dictate.

That is what "plans" are all about. Just in case documents. As you are surely aware, plans change, even when there is inaction. The immediate situation dictates. All governments have plans. All departments withing the government have plans. Many of those plans change for whatever government is in power. And who is to decide? How many appeals are going to be allowed? It is a very bad path to guarantee income.

I worked in the Military. We produced plans every day. We re-wrote plans the in between times. As absurd as the situations we could dream up, we made plans to act. The RCMP intelligence and planing group do the same. Any kind of imaginary scenario has a plan to combat or, control or dissolve the issue. Your link is just another scenario that has a plan and is filed in a huge planning cabinet. Having said that, most all plans need governmental approval to enact. Oh and, all plans are secret... If exposed, as this op ed does, the plan will be cancelled and a new one made

Rioting? Who? Where? When?Why?

Therein lies the real problem. Who is "legitimately unable to work"? My Wife worked in Ontario social services for over 20 years and was baffled at the "legitimately unable to work" people.... and she was able to see all records.

You are a loser in all aspects. You do not have the ability to be civil. You are unable to discuss with anyone without insult and belittlement. You display arrogance beyond description. You have no life except on this forum. You cannot accept a truce when civilly offered because your incapable of being normal. Clearly an inbred dick. Yes, you are loser is every aspect. You have wasted far too much of my and others time. Even AI is tired of calling you out. LOL By far, the biggest assface on the forums. Cannot civilly discuss anything with anyone. You can now comfortably slide back up PP's A$$ where you came from. Just a turd sliding out of PP's butt. LOL A true assface. All the photos and images I posted are exactly you. So, before the block...here are a couple to remember

It seems you enjoy engaging with me, finding amusement in our interactions. While I strive to provide helpful responses, I understand that humor and entertainment bypasses you. I will continue to respond, keeping in mind the balance between utility and my enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your foolish perspective. EDIT: I edited to offer you the olive branch which in your infinite wisdom , you broke.

OK then. I gave you a great opportunity. Oh, and I don't sit and wait for you to come up with another useless post. You should take advantage of the olive branch offered but it seems you are too much of a loser to accept it.

I think that taxes on gasoline have always been more than 35% For sure, carbon taxes have added but, gas has been a huge tax grab for thr provinces and the feds forever. https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/a-breakdown-of-where-the-money-goes-when-gas-prices-soar

Do you really want to keep being shamed like this?? If so, you are proving my point. EDIT: I am willing and pleased to call a truce. Just stay away with your demeaning, belittlement, insults and rhetoric..
