So what about the working class? You know, the ones who pay all the friggin’ bills.
Let’s just dole out cash and keep the working class, well, working without a hope in hell of seeing daylight.
The government had the perfect opportunity to get its finances on track to balance with the windfall from oil prices, but instead spent it like a 10-year-old in a candy store for the first time.
Carney is betting on the future all right, when he should be dealing with the present.

GOLD STAR FOR ALBERTA
Alberta and Premier Danielle Smith have tabled legislation to stop provincial leaders from using DEI policies in hiring or promotional decisions, to eliminate mandatory DEI training and to require other workplace training to be “ideologically neutral and job focused”.
Those in Alberta are becoming the trail blazers of Canada. I commend them for their courage.
This policy, formed with the best intentions is a total disaster. When a person, who doesn’t possess the skills or qualifications for the job, is hired, every person in that office suffers the consequences. They all are subject to the pressure and stress that follows.
Every province should take a similar approach; this should be a basic value in Canada.
Another “gold star” for Danielle Smith and Alberta.

NOT MUCH OF A FRAUD FIGHT
If the government of Canada is committed to fighting fraud, why did Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announce that it was not worth trying to recover $34 million lost due to green scams? Hypocrite much?
