It doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum if you are, firstly, a Canadian. I am grateful that Mr Carney became our Prime Minister for this time of economic crisis. During this time of nation building, I am really glad that jobs are a huge priority.

I know that is a popular conservative talking point, but you should really look into the facts. Only about 1/3 of a cent out of ever dollar the government collects goes to foreign aid (which is less than half of what the UN guideline is, by the way). The data show that we get more than what we put in back in increased trade as a result, and foreign aide is an effective bargaining chip for trade, peacekeeping, and diplomacy. On top of that, Carney actually DECREASED foreign aide in the current budget, so you should be praising this new liberal government. That being said, If you think taking that foreign aide away would make any meaningful improvement to your life, you aren't thinking critically.Trying to blame the federal Liberal government for decades of provincial under funding of healthcare is not helpful, and not honest.

This city council is a gong show regardless of the technical issues.

8 million would feed alot of homeless, and get people off the streets...it would help the widows, the orphans, and the oppressed. Bigger buildings isn't what the Church needs.

No not “a few too many”. The job is gruesome and crappy work. They do it because someone needs to do it. Electrical or water side. The PUC pays well to keep people on call to make sure these people are ready to go with zero increases to safety concerns. Some people actually want to do it for the money. Yes, I’m a friend of a PUC employee. They take their job darn seriously because at the snap of a finger death is just around the corner if you’re not extra careful. The water guys do their job in crap weather the same as linemen in the worst conditions imaginable so you can have heat, hydro, and water at 3am.What do you do that gets you off of your behind in the wee hours of the night to serve your fellow city folk? Don’t drag peoples name through the mud like that.

Mr Green jeans, you really need to do some background research on this guy, he is not what you think. He is posturing for his global transition one fund, will make him billions, and us Canadians paying the price, then bolt it out of the country. His net zero, carbon credits, green schemes will increase costs for us for years to come. Just ask England.

This is financial "child's play" for the Liberals and their money tree. Just apply the same formula you did at Tenaris for 200 jobs.Write a cheque to Algoma for $750,000,000 and voila, you've just paid for 10 years salary for 1000 people. And while you're at it, why not throw in an extra $250,000,000 (make it a nice round $1 billion) for some management bonuses too?
