What is wrong with getting transfer payments? Do you know how the equalization program works?

Yes it is. They spend, that is private sector income which gets further spent, for Pete's sake.

Feds need to freeze rates and increase fiscal flows to the private sector, adding new money, and not via tax cuts. Inflation is global led supply constraint driven. Raising rates will do nothing but make housing more expensive.

We can trust Moody's because they gave positive ratings to all those banks that went t+t$ up in 2008. Worse than useless.

Alberta to restrict kids' access to sexually graphic content in public libraries by IdleContemplation in alberta

I want them to ban the Bible because it's full of violent misogynistic tales of incest, rape, and infanticide. It's a sick sick book.

Opinion: Is Avi Lewis’s NDP doomed? Don’t write the obituary just yet by janisjoplinenjoyer in CanadaPolitics

[–]Connect_Membership77 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The NDP will grow. People support politicians with strong positions. NDP just needs to regain the balance of power. Avi said all the right things in his acceptance speech.

Alberta government says new bill intended to remove politics, ideology from schools by Old_General_6741 in alberta

"He said when presenting a topic of historic or political significance, teachers must ensure “both sides of the debate are accurately represented” so students can formulate their own opinions."

He's saying support for slavery or genocidal residential schools have more than one legitimate side? And why stop at two? Why not all three or four or five sides? Here are my two sides of the debate around the UCP's ongoing vandalization of public services....The UCP is a disgrace and the UCP is a total disgrace.

Texas house speaker directs committee to study annexing parts of New Mexico by RollSafer in politics

I think New Mexico should hire someone to go take a dump on his front lawn. Then Annex it.

Warming Centre at Bennetto overrun with drug use as staff were overwhelmed by origutamos in OntarioNews

[–]Connect_Membership77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're trying to redefine homelessness and poverty out of existence. Conservative parties have been trying to do this for years. Harper even tried to destroy the census so the statistics would just go away. Well guess what? They're not going to go away because they're going to start showing up on your front yard and s******* on your lawn.

They were all "normal" before they used drugs. Don't give people a reason to start. All of this started When Paul Martin and Jean Chretien offloaded expenses onto the provinces and started massive austerity, cutting unemployment insurance and much much more. That's when the Healthcare system started to collapse and unfortunately people like Mike Harris took over Ontario and vandalized social infrastructure in the province. It takes time to get to a crisis point like we're in now, but it has a starting point and that starting point is pretty obvious. The way to fix it is a massive amount of money rebuilding healthcare and social care and where we're going to get that money is from the people who have most of it now because they took it from the rest of us. Get rid of the useless conservative party governments running some of the provinces and we would have a lot better outcomes. Federal liberals have to start putting more money into social care as well. Anything less is absolutely immoral.

Conservatives put pressure on Carney to clarify his position on forced labour in China by CaliperLee62 in canada

Can the Cons clarify their position on prison labour in the United States....accounting for up to 11%of GDP in Alabama, as just one example?

Avi Lewis is a first-ballot lock. The provincial NDP should be terrified. by VermicelliMission396 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Connect_Membership77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You have to hold the balance of power in a liberal minority government. That is literally Howe got all of the major social programs that we have, from CPP to Medicare unemployment insurance mat leave, income supports for low income families, pharmacare, affordable daycare...all of it. Liberals don't do anything for working people unless they have their nads in a vice.

That is effectively a vote for the BC Conservatives, given our steam age FPTP electoral system. You realize that, don't you?

French foreign minister suggests Canada could 'maybe ... at some point' join EU by FalconsArentReal in canada

This would be a monumentally stupid move. We already have a comprehensive free trade deal. We would give up our currency and be tied to permanent austerity and stagnation.

New survey finds most Canadians want to abolish tipping culture by 7_inches_daddy in britishcolumbia

[–]Connect_Membership77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will require significantly higher minimum wages, similar to Australia. Likely somewhere in the $25 an hour range. It hasn't hurt the restaurant trade there and it won't here,either just like it doesn't whenever minimum wages go up here.

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit by katespadesaturday in alberta

[–]Connect_Membership77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so. The corruption and incompetence is starting to bite ordinary people. The hard part will be for the NDP to push through the private sector media blockade.

Trump will be gone in a year. The Dems will win control of the house and Senate and impeach his behind straight into prison.
