I'm sure that seems to be the case when your comatose but you're the only one that actually understands you when you're like that

Exactly. Also, anything they do wrong is the conservatives fault and not their own, and (my favorite) elections are pointless, we should just let the liberals stay in power. 

And he can't understand why someone might think he's a liberal supporter

What's pointless is the expectation an election will do anything, especially if you expect whoever is in power to just change the laws they like breaking.

I absolutely guarantee things would change dramatically And with fairly decent speed if a government got in that was more interested in doing things for Canadians the lining its own pockets as the liberals are

In case you were wondering if the Liberals were going to cut spending, like they promised, the answer is......No.

Yesterday the PBO published a note on the Borrowing Authority Act and what is contained in Bill C-15 (the budget bill).

Under Section 4 of the BAA, the current maximum borrowing level for governmental debt is $2.126 billion.

The Liberals want to amend that to maximum $2.541 billion.

That's another $325 billion in debt, with no plan to ever repay it.

"This new proposed increase to the BAA comes only 18 months after the last increase came into force—well in advance of the typical three-year period. Given the unique timing, parliamentarians may wish to request that the Minister of Finance table a new report in Parliament to assist in their review of the new proposed amendment."

Add it to the "we're reducing immigration' thing, In fact they're right about the same levels that they were under Trudeau. They just played games with the names

We'll never know the true extent of government corruption in this country. I would guess we barely even see the tip of the iceberg. The waste, the sense of entitlement from our politicians is beyond belief.

The millions handed over to recover the suspected children's graves didn't actually get spent on that. It went to consultants and publicists.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation actually put out a book on this subject, "Pigs at the Trough".

Yes, it's because people like you vote for corrupt governments and don't punish them when they are exposed. They feel this gives them license to continue with their corruption

There seems to be a misconception in this country that wasting or stealing from the government is ok because 'it's government money' and most people can't comprehend that it's taxpayer money.

When politicians are careless with our money, whether or not the media picks it up seems to depend on which party the person in question belongs to. Remember the massive amount of coverage about Bev Oda's $16 dollar glass of orange juice years ago? She ended up losing her post. There are countless worse examples from the Trudeau era but most of them barely get mentioned, if at all.

I wish I knew. There are generally no consequences or oversight to prevent this kind of behavior.

Sure, she attended a conference regarding poor children and spent like she was at a conference regarding drunken sailors. The orange juice underscored the oblivious self-largesse that most politicians in exist in.

As usual, it was the attempt to explain away or cover-up the controversy that burned the Conservatives.

Well, Oda's behaviour wasn't criminal but as I've pointed out many times before Conservatives seem to suck as bad at trying not to look like they're corrupt as they are at preventing Liberals from being corrupt.

Harper tried to introduce legislation to combat it but it never amounted to anything beyond a Catch-and-Release program for white collar crooks.

We need to address corruption by making it an issue the Constitution deals with so political parties and politicians can't sidestep the measures required to reign them in.

I assume, like most abject partisans, you're dead set against subjecting politicians especially when they meet with lobbyists, to process guardians - human witnesses who can observe, record and report to the public what they witnessed.

That urge to treat corruption as a white collar 'crime' is ridiculously strong - it's only politicians who seem to have the misconception that wasting or stealing the public's money is ok.

Even you still seem pissed about that glass of orange juice. I can point to numerous examples of worse behavior by people in the Liberal government and those appointed by Liberals. But those stories never had much time in the news cycle, if they were even reported at all.

Notice how everything you're saying is attended with the caveat you seem? It seems that you need to constantly insert these generalizing caveats about the people you engage with so your narrative holds up. You see this time and time and time again around here.

I think Oda's story was only faintly amusing and more pathetic actually.

Well sure, but can you point to actual evidence of criminality or is it just garden variety incompetence you like to characterize as criminal behaviour?

In any case you still haven't addressed or proposed measures that might actually prevent criminal behaviour before the fact.

Are you one of these folks who figure an x on a ballot every 4-5 years cuts it?
