Turn a blind eye to this one

I don’t often read Chucks drivel but just baffling how he can blindly accept scam after scam with billions of lost tax dollars by this government!
I wouldn’t mind paying taxes if I could see the money actually going into something useful.

Useful can be a matter of opinion.

So which of the following budget items are not useful?


Canadian governments spend the majority of their budgets on social protection (like pensions, Employment Insurance, and child benefits) and health care. Combined, these two areas account for nearly half of all general government expenditures, alongside major costs for debt interest, general public services, and defense.

How Canadian governments divide these responsibilities depends on the level of government:


Federal Government

The federal government focuses primarily on direct income support, national programs, and transfers to other provinces.

• Transfers to Persons & Provinces: Accounts for the largest share (over 60%), including Elderly Benefits, Children’s Benefits, Employment Insurance (EI), and the Canada Health/Social Transfers to fund provincial services.
• Departmental Expenses: Federal operations and capital investments, with the highest funded departments being the Department of National Defence, Indigenous Services, and Employment and Social Development.
• Debt Servicing: Paying interest on the national debt.

Provincial and Territorial Governments

Provinces and territories are primarily responsible for administering public services directly to residents.

• Health Care: This is the largest expense, consuming over one-third of provincial-territorial budgets, heavily driven by hospital services and medical products.
• Education & Social Services: Funding for primary, secondary, and post-secondary schools, as well as family/children services and disability support.
• Other Services: Infrastructure, transportation, and justice.

Municipal Governments

Local cities and municipalities manage community-level infrastructure and day-to-day amenities.

• Utilities & Transit: Water, waste management, public transit, and roads.
• Emergency Services: Police, fire departments, and local bylaws.
• Recreation & Libraries: Funding for local parks, community centers, and public libraries.

I see the chronic complainers and naysayers are again telling us how bad Canada is!

But funny enough there is no mention of tRumps trade war and serious attacks on our economy!

WTF are you guys smokin?

Are you totally effing oblivious to what tRump is doing?

This explains why the the Conservatives and PP will lose the next election because they haven't figured out that tRump is bad for our economy! And hardly anybody likes him except a few wanna be republican traitors! LOL

You the only one with severe TDS

[chuckChuck]

So tRump has been good for the world and the US?

The vast majority of Canadians feel the same way about tRump as I do. Its not TDS that's just a lame suggestion from former tRump ass kissers who won't admit they are wrong on tRump!

But you and your friends didn't tell us what government programs from the list above aren't useful yet?

Eastern Canadians prefer the Leftist Lunatics because the Laurentians hate the West. They shutter at the thought that the West will someday become powerful enough to show the East the road but its coming.

[furrowtickler]

What’s our national debt now and why ??
a decade of reckless liberal spending and zero accountability

You are 100 percent correct

[blackpowder]

This I believe is how we are thought of.

What value does our troll find in paving over the original topic I wonder? A long term domestic policy failure becomes proof Trump is a train wreck? I think it's possible I've forgotten more US history than he could understand.
He on the other hand is purposely blind to our own.
Regarding other nation's history and motivations, only snippets that with a child's logic support his position are considered.
Understanding cultures a key to understanding policies.
His culture, being a simple minded dick all that matters.
His history speaks for itself.

[blackpowder]

Needless to say, maintaining a simple minded approach to the world and our performance in it, guarantees an outcome that other nations will only profit by at our expense.
