The worst part is the Liberals still have numbers at all. It tells you how incredibly stupid some Canadians are. When you have 8 ridings in the Capital and 7 of them are Liberals, that tells you how many useless overpaid and underworked government workers there are afraid of losing their jobs. Liberals = let me hold my hand out for free this and free that.

ASD weere given to people that were ready to retire and not 30. Not where I worked. And with ASD, the government did not have to worry about benefits, superannuation, etc. Once gone, you are gone and no longer a burden to the tax payer. The government is the most inefficient entity in Canada. Try turning a profit! Just look at the CBC. You have no idea what a full day of work is. But keep on dreaming as you are a legend in your own mind.

l lot of assumptions from someone that knows nothing. ASD was given to people that were ready to retire years ago. They got well over $100K each. You are or were obviously in the PS so I can expect you to be defensive. I left due to the stupidity there.

From what I remember, it was called Alternate Service Delivery. Of course the Civil Service hated Harper. The PS will never admit they are useless simply because you do not bite the hand that feeds you. And in the vast majority of cases, they are grossly overpaid, underworked and with benefits people in the private sector do not get. Someone I know did the medical claims for the PS at Sunlife. She had far more responsibility and had to produce for far less money than some clerk in the government gets and no benefits to speak of. PS working from home, isn't that a joke. Hell, they do not work at work. Half hour lunch breaks are an hour, countless smoke breaks. Of course PS hate hearing the truth which of course if you gave them any real power, think about how corrupt they would be. Look at Justin Trudeau. Look at the huge increase in the PS in recent years. But it makes our unemployment numbers look better. It is a form of expensive welfare. And by the way, a full pension for MPs after a mere 6 years. Really, who gets that in the private sector? Nobody. And all this on your tax dollar. Governments really need to be revamped.

I guess if you look at enough data and cherry-pick you can find the answer you are looking for. 60 years ago, far more women were at home with the kids.

Without FACTS which seems to be typical for someone that is FOS, I wasn't. You really need to get a life. You must have been a totally useless PS or in the military.

Nope, I left early even though they tried to get me to stay. I was allegic and tired of the BS. Working for the government is all BS. Look at the bright side, I saved the tax payer some money. I think the issue is we are still under a British system.

It is unfortunate that leaders from the City to the Federal level fail to understand that they are there to IMPLEMENT THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE, not their wishes and spending habits.

For the vast majority of these kids, there might come a time when they'll get a wake-up call that they cannot handle. These home invasions that I see on YouTube can turn out deadly for them.

The other week I tried to get a hold of the CRA and this not being tax season, you would think I had a good chance of getting through, especially with over 59,000 employees there. I finally got their phone number as it is not listed on their web side. After 31 minutes on hold, I hung up. They are probably working so very hard from home, walking their dog or doing the laundry. The Public Service, grossly overpaid and underworked.

Of course, that also applies to the Federal Government Offices, the Public Service and all the way down to the Provinical, Municipal and City levels, but that can be another topic. So instead of trying to be delusional and say, "why can't governments be bigger", the question is, why can't we do what other countries similar to ours does.

When have you known ANY Canadian government to govern. Some are better than others, but the differences are small.

If it is run by the government, good luck. Of course if the PS were "clued in", fraud would not be an issue. But of course, when it is not your money, it is easy to pi$$ away.

I recently got back from Europe a while ago. Imagine that, a case of 20 x 500ml bottles of great beer for €9.49 or about $15. What am I paying here? $57, nearly 4 times as much. You'd think with all that tax money, we would not be in debt. LOL

There are 11 (3 in Quebec and 8 in Ontario) but incredibly 10 of them are Liberal. Now why would that be? Public Servants afraid of having their positions cut? Demographic Snapshot of Canada’s Public Service, 2022 Number of employees 335,957 active employees (282,980 in 2010) Represents 0.86% of the Canadian population (0.84% in 2010) But not all in the "Canadian population" are working so that 0.86% is actually much higher in the "working force". Plus talk about an increase of 18.7% increase. Your tax dollars hard at work. LOL
