Mark Carney’s first budget projects $78B deficit, program and civil service cuts

17

A $78 billion deficit equates to $2000 for every person in Canada…. Our interest payments are going to increase exponentially. This is the government equivalent to someone who has lost money through poor decisions trying to gamble everything they have left at a casino. We are leveraging ourselves into an even worse position by trying to avoid necessary pain.

I work for a municipality, make six figures, and will be getting a defined benefit pension in a few years.So I am mostly insulated from the Trudeau government’s catastrophic immigration policy. Notice how that doesn’t stop me for acknowledging the problem.

ICYMI: One in 20 local automated tickets challenged in court

GuelphToday

If you think the speed signs are "huge", you are ignorant of the facts. The reality is that the signs are small and are placed so that by the time you can see them you already have a ticket. There is a perfectly rational reason for this. The municipality isn't interested in slowing people down, they are interested in shifting the tax burden onto non-residents.
