Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Makes sense. Top scumbag Trudeau + VP scumbag Freeland have no understanding of finances, how economy/market works. So their empty heads assume that the tandem of hiring slaves for their pet dreams + printing money galore works just fine. Nothing bad will happen. Budget schmuget, who gives a crap. After all budgets balance themselves, right?
They understand money perfectly well. They give you money, you vote for them.
Just like Papa Pierre did in 1968 the Civil Service boomed and so did the cost of Government. Incidentally let us not forget that Pierre started his political career as an NDP candidate but was bought out by Pearson to join the Libranos. Now the the Fool on the Hill makes a deal with the NDP. Same ideology, only a difference in methodology. They are enemies of Canada.
What are the chances of any of these new hires voting for a political party that campaigns on a platform of cutting government spending?
The Eloi vote for free stuff, the unborn pay for it and the state grows to supply it while enshrining power. It’s how democracies die and are replaced with tyrannies exemplified by the Spawn-Fuhrer and his ever-growing Leviathan cheered on by his state-sponsored media and professoriate.
Bingo. You said it better than I could have.
More commie vote buying using our money.
Either directly or indirectly, we’ll all be gov’t employees before too long.
Want to keep receiving your UBI? Start planting trees in Bumfuck Falls Ontario.
There will be no room for trees. Instead the land will be covered with solar panels and windmills.
During the winter the government employees will brush the snow off the solar panels.
Well he did stomp out freedom and liberty, someone has to enforce his fascist policies. My husband still hasn’t gotten his T4 from CP, VA and the federal government. Incompetence seems to be a perk if you are a liberal regime.
Hiring 20,000 Lieberal supporters and voters. That was also Knothead’s plan when she got a hold of the reins.
Sadly, the walking brain dead do not understand that this IS NOT job creation. A job funded by tax dollars does not grow an economy. Instead, it stagnates and even shrinks it. Eventually there are no resources left to pay for it.
But it does reduce the unemployment nbumbers, which looks good.
And stranding citizens in their own countries reduces the funds that ‘escape’ via vacations, cross-border shopping, etc. Seems like some folks never give up on the bogus economics of autarky.
That was the standard playbook of the Labour Governments in the UK. Always reduce the unemployment figures by subsidizing the inefficient deadwood industries and thus helping the Union Voter base. Until the Iron Lady came along.
The government was giving away so much more money, they had to hire more people to do it.
20,000 jobs and eventually 20,000 pensions. Just keep pouring gasoline on that fire Juthin.
If they were all soldiers, I wouldn’t mind so much.
Seeing as they’re probably all Diversity, Inclusion and Equity officials, I’d say this is just the latest decomposition of the corpse that was once known of as Canada.
Remember,and to the uninformed, a government employee DOES NOT PAY TAX, they are paid tax. Government’s only income is from taxes,fees and royalties. That fact is why socialism does not work over time . The only way to tax government workers is to pay them less which happens in all socialist countries.
+++spike. I have screamed this from the rooftops, but the average Canadians is, A- too stupid to understand what was said, or B- at the fucking trough.
When they protest and angrily state they do pay tax, I correct them. They get some money clawed back from their pay.
Is that not great. 20K more people at the trough producing nothing. Looks like the Canada I grew up in and have lived in for 80 plus years. One could call them hogs but that would be an insult to hogs.
I’m pretty sure they’re all jabbed, so there’s that.
The thievery of the federal government has the city of Ottawa in a construction boom.
What’s the total annual fully loaded cost of these new hires?
And for fun, what’s the average annual salary? The highest salary? How many of these positions also have provision for bonuses?
David, your calculator has to compute to 15 digits to get there. And then, and then, how long they will be at the trough? Canada is not a country.
Well, 20,000 new bureaucrats at $100,000 minimum fully loaded works out at least $2,000,000,000.00 more per year. That’s a lot more weight to the dead hand of government.
Just a back of the envelope calculation, if you have better numbers please post:
Salary, benefits at about 40%, workspace, amenities, desk, office building, etc comes to an average of $150,000 per position per year per civil service career. So the additional 20,000 comes to a cost of about $3,000,000,000. For the entire civil service of 320,000 $48 Billion
This does not take into account the make work projects that are required when the original project slows down. Add to the difficulty of actually getting rid of anyone, you have to hire someone to do the work of the drones leading to further expansion.
We need a revolution.
Cast Iron rice bowl.
Made in China.
Assembled in Canada.
Ministry of Compliance.
And in BC the provincial govt added more than 25% FTEs to the total directly employed by the govt (ie., not including Crown Corps or govt contractors). Yeehaw. Good times ahead!
There is only so much money one can print.
When do these trough-eaters realise this?
