Chuckle. You do not know what you are talking about and have no idea how it works and and just like to complain LOL It may be a stupid idea but it has been around since 1867 so, you must be the only dissenter

So, Ontario has just told the nurses college to develop plans to more quickly register internationally educated professionals. They complained so now they need to put up. The Province should also drop this on the doctors as well. It is easy to complain, now find a solution and be responsible for it. https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/ontario-gives-ok-for-nursing-college-to-expedite-international-nurse-registration-5789082?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=AutoPilot

I gave you the exact information on equalization. You, of course knowing that it is enshrined in the Canadian Constitution Act and that in the payments were formalized in 1957 and that In 1974, the revenues levied by local governments for school taxes were brought into the fiscal capacity calculation; In 1975, 2⁄3 of the windfall revenues[Notes 3] caused by the 1973 oil crisis were excluded from the calculation; In 1977 local taxes were fully included in the tax base calculation;[6] The concept of windfall revenues was dropped in 1978 and replaced by a 1⁄2 inclusion factor for all revenues of non-renewable resources; In 1982, the equalization standard was shifted from the national average to the average of five representative provinces (British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec). So, you claim all that to be fake?? So, Manitoba, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick are also being bribed. Well, here is a bit more to educate yourself with https://financesofthenation.ca/2020/11/17/who-pays-and-who-receives-in-confederation/ Oh and, even Alberta for federal funds https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/for-the-first-time-in-more-than-50-years-alberta-received-more-money-from-ottawa-than-it-sent

? So, " were sounding an awful lot like "truckers" means the truckers wanted masking, restrictions and all?

Oh? The unions that were wanting masking and restrictions to protect their workers? Teachers, nurses, public service?

You really need to figure out what equalization and funding it is all about. Clearly there is a significant gap in your perception and knowledge . I gave you 2 links that should fill in the gaps.

Who gives a rats ass, except you of course LOL

and waiting and waiting and waiting Use a bidet and get those nasty will nots off LOL

All you are doing is confirming how whacked out you are.

Who the F is Zelensky and why would I care about that the Ukraine in this discussion about Canadian politics?? As I said, you are whacked. Cannot stay on topic either LOL

Man, you are whacked out. Is that statement a will not that you just ripped out??/ LOL

Who are you calling "fringe"? Certainly not the Conservative Party? Or the people that support it? Or is it Animal Protection Party of Canada Centrist Party of Canada Christian Heritage Party of Canada Communist Party of Canada Direct Democracy Party of Canada Free Party Canada Green Party of Canada Libertarian Party of Canada Marijuana Party Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada Maverick Party National Citizens Alliance of Canada Parti pour l'Indépendance du Québec Parti Rhinocéros Party People's Party of Canada Veterans Coalition Party of Canada

What is??

You have it completely wrong. I have never voted Liberal. My hate for Pierre Trudeau still festers. As a Westerner, the liberals will never get my vote. As much as you don't like or want to hear it, elections, especially for PM, are as much a popularity contest as for policy. Canada is permanently screwed if the opposition cannot come up with a leader that everybody likes. Since last term of Harper, the cons have been a huge failure. Even you have to admit that. Or, if you don't wish top admit it, the proof is in front of your face. Say hello to Justin.

What problem? Why laugh? All politicians have to sell themselves to the public. Leaders of political parties have to present an image (and ideology) to the voters, not just a few faithful, but to all.

"This is indicative of a population that" has seen and heard the politicians speak. Maybe the politicians are solely responsible for their own image?

Oh FFS. Everybody pays taxes. You can not designate where your tax money goes. Quebecer and Newfie people pay taxes and the province gets equalization payments. Provinces do not pay taxes, they collect it, people pay taxes. Oh FFS!!! "Equalization is financed by the Government of Canada from general revenues, which are largely raised through federal taxes. Provincial governments make no contributions to the Equalization program. All Canadians are subject to the same federal income tax system and its progressive rate structure, regardless of where they live." https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/programs/federal-transfers/equalization.html

ALL taxpayers pay for equalization payments (and every government service). Taxes, ALL tax money, is used towards equalization payments and ALL other government services, grant etc etc.. No taxpayer from anyplace in Canada is exempt from paying taxes and no one has any say on what or where their taxes go to. ALL taxes go into a big pool and is drawn upon for everything the government give back. You cannot choose what your taxes go to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canada

Unfortunately, it is a display of lack of reading comprehension by you. I said "It is all taxpayer money and by that, most of the population is in Ontario and Quebec thereby, most of the equalization money comes from Ontario and Quebec taxpayers.. " The taxpayers pay for equalization, and most taxpayers are in Ontario and Quebec. Read and understand before you make yourself look more foolish than normal :

All that means is Quebec has better accountants and can make it look like they are a have no province. Businesses with the best accountants always do well.

Tommy Douglas, Saskatchewan NDP brought medicare to Saskatchewan in 1962.

The "wealth" of Ontario and Alberta are not applicable here. Yes, Alberta is "wealthy" in resources but Ontario (and Quebec) is "wealthy" in people. They are the primary taxpayers. It is government tax money that is distributed in equalization payments. Over 50% of the money the government gets comes form individual taxpayers (another large amount comes form payroll taxes). Resources are a minor amount. While they belong to the crown, extraction of them and shareholder payments diminish money to government.

There is no "provinces money". It is all taxpayer money and by that, most of the population is in Ontario and Quebec thereby, most of the equalization money comes from Ontario and Quebec taxpayers..

Why do better, it always catches you just fine. Foolish fish bite the same bait again and again LOL As I have said before, don't like it, don't respond.

But but but... I like you LOL I like people that live in the past and cannot live for today. It makes things easy.. By the way, who do you think will win the conservative leadership considering that is the topic?
