Something is seriously wrong here. The total amount allocated for the Vaccine Injury Support Program was $32,310,002.00, but the cost to administer the program was $20,310,002.00.
Over 60% of the budget allocated for vaccine injury is going toward consultants administering the program, rather than benefiting the vaccine-injured individuals. This misallocation raises concerns about the effectiveness and purpose of the program.
It is alarming when the program costs more than the actual payout, highlighting a significant problem.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on the achievements of the government that truly impress us. Are the roads, permitting, healthcare, and safety measures up to par? Unfortunately, when the government lacks accountability and has unlimited resources, the outcomes are often unfavorable, resulting in losses for the general public.
Thanks. The first 2 opinion peices won’t go far in a conversation that has opposing views. The last link is where the meat is. Will check out tomorrow for the expenditure info
Munk Debates on the Trucker Protests. Not easy listening to those of us that are internationalists and thoroughly embarrassed by the strong arm tactics:
It’s not really surprising. I haven’t been immersed in it for some years now, but the universities in Canada follow uncritically the fashions in the US. The largest minorities in Canada are East Asian, South Asian, and Native American. Having Blacks-only spaces but not for the others is just more DEI plagiarism (there are actually a lot of existing Indigenous spaces, but I doubt the swimming pool, and anyways I don’t mind giving them a hand up).
He keeps winning elections, is the short answer. The opposition Conservative party is in a better position now than they have been for a while (you can ask in the Canada politics thread for a list of reasons, if you’re interested), but the majority of Canadians aren’t interested in the opposition (again, for reasons that could be discussed in the other thread).
It is easy for Poilievre to complain about problems when he’s in the opposition, but he’s short on solutions.
Political party out of power “everthing is the fault of the party in power” no matter how tenuous.
Political party in power “the political party out of power only know how to criticize and offer no solutions” despite them being out of power and not in a position to bring about change.
The tell tell sign of a partisan, someone who alternates their rehtoric depending on if their side is in power or not.
I think we can expect the politicians to do that, though, yeah?
Anyways, I think there needs to be an election in the next two years. At this time it is close, but lots can happen. Trudeau probably needs some kind of political win, or PP needs a big mistake, to see big changes in the polls.
I think most Canadians are bored of the Turdeau narrative, Castro and black face and so on. H
Thats will play well to a small segment of the population
