Welfare spending destroying governments is near universal at this point. No nation can afford to payout royally to a growing class of dependents (elderly and third worlders) but it's far too unpopular to end the ponzi scheme. I'm afraid Canada is just victim to the same problem as the rest of the world. The deficit must go up so that the plebs don't riot in the streets. They're planning to bail on the country when shit hits the fan anyhow.
Yeah and one lolcow named Henry Makow posted a interesting point about the Polytechnique shooting.
The sad part is that the masses of cattle are still falling for the LPC's grift as 99% of polls since the election have them ahead by around 5%
This was always going to occur regardless of politics. The only way to avoid this would be to truthfully confront the history of Canada in an unbiased way, which is impossible because of Canadians' psychological profile and the current sociocultural zeitgeist. In psychology, it's called repetition compulsion. This compulsion is based on the principle of familiarity, which is similar to the exposure effect of which so many are already aware.
Maybe it could be a good idea in theory, but it will end up costing a lot in practice. If someone can become a citizen in 2-5 years, and a license is good for 10 years, then an immigrant would need twice as many cards printed compared to a citizen over the same period of time. Additional cost incurred by the tax-payer, long lines for provincial services, more bureaucracy I guess you could solve that with a sticker, but then Canadian citizens would have to have stickers on their IDs.
LMAO I thought I was the only one that saw this stupid email. PPC is a joke, but they always have the dumbest emails of any party.
Because Canadian's, especially Canadian Boomers are retarded. They worry the Cons will touch their healthcare, and they any conservative policy as being 'American.' Which also fuels their insanity and makes them act like Blue State Americans.
And then they'll call you a Nazi if you dare to say that throwing yourself in front of a combine harvester is a bad idea.
Number of voters relying on government stipends, contracts, and jobs to survive in this country far outweighs the people who are simply working to escape the said governments taxes and regulations.
I guess they will just pull the lobby funding.
Lmao we have no army. What is this fuck going about.
So tired of Israel and Palestine. The activists for each side are insufferable.
Now he's saying he wants to commit the military to "peacekeeping" missions in Ukraine and Gaza. I knew this guy was going to be even worse than Trudeau.
Carney is saying so many things right now and he doesn't seem to care what he is saying. It's so bizarre. Not even Trudeau was this retarded.
Its a common trap for minor functionaries of minor polities too assume they are big fish simply because the current system of international order gives senior officials of "Independent" countries the benefits of equal sovreign majesty. Even if their country is a shithole like Nauru. You still get a seat at the UN, you still get invited too all the Galas, and you get a really cool desk with your name and a flag on it.
When trudeau spoke in the international stage, he spoke like a bitch who got whipped by his pimp. Carney speaks like he is the pimp but in reality he is just a junior executive with no real projective power.
There are no troops for a peace keeping mission. On top of that, no one wants Hamas blowing up Canadian troops. The Palestinians are rabid and would never accept anything like that.
