August1991 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) As another point, it's irrelevant whether a government budget is in surplus or deficit. Does it matter whether your ex-wife uses your credit card or your debit card? It's still your money. And she's probably buying stupid stuff.

August1991 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 With Powell's recent remarks, I expect to see many more divorces, arguments around the dinner table. Powell? I would blame Bush Jnr, Obama, Trump. Bush Jnr in particular. He abused the good will of America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly the price of a case of a dozen bottles of Kokanee beer spread over the 5 year period of the grant. That's 2 bottles of beer a year.

So what you’re saying is that $100 million is chump change and should be doled out as such to any group. No. Canada is a recklessly managed country. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your answer? As this sort of back-handed crap goes on, I don't blame Albertains one bit for wanting out of this confederation. They pay and pay and pay...Its the old story in Alberta. 'We grow the grain...we pay to send it to Ontario to be made into bread...then we pay to have the bread shipped back to us.' Something else someone whose attitude is rather flippant...without Alberta in confederation, Canada loses a TON of natural resource money. That includes farming. PLUS...how long would it take Saskatchewan and BC to leave as well? But ya...move to Newfoundland...ha ha ha... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our federal government is not in debt- and our provincial governments have collected claims. The Caisse and the OMER, Teacher's. The Norwegian system. They have paper claims on future real returns. Canada and Norway are solvent. Older Norwegians - like many Canadians - expect that their pension scheme, paper money, will pay for their real care. ====== But we and they all rely on the Americans and their ability to solve their debt problems. Not sure what your trying to say here, are you saying our nation does NOT have a deficit of over a trillion dollars. And if thats true, we can spend what we want, with no repercussions, then why does Canada not look like Dubai with streets paved in gold...

Missed it didn't you? $100 million could go a long way to help a lot of people. The gay community is not one of them. Pensioners, veterans, LTC and most of all, the health care system. All far more deserving that the gay community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hand out checks to communities for gay stuff: rainbow painted crosswalks, pro LGBTQ+ posters and jobs for LGBTQ+ people to make LGBTQ+ posters, that kind of thing.

Queenmandy85 Posted August 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 The point is, there is a surplus. It isn't because of anything the Government has done. It is caused by the global situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is due to high fuel prices and taxes mostly. The government also projects low in order to sound responsible later. Really they overspend and produce the largest annual debts and deficits in Canadian history. Edited August 30, 2022 by Zeitgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
