    4. Bingo.

      Not that long ago, my deep and profound cynicism notwithstanding, I would not have bingo-ed that. Nor would I have ever subscribed to the idea of planned population reduction.

  2. So much well paid Executives and Administration feeding off the public trough that you don’t need the workers anymore as our politicians and governments keep them running while the actual work force, heads for the hills unless they want to be buried in people that need the service we used to provide as more training for certification is piled on.

    1. That’s how Supply and Demand works in a government-run monopoly: As waiting lists get longer and more people have to wait for health care, more administrators are required to administer waiting lists.

  5. Socialism always runs out of other peoples money.. Healthcare is particularly painful because generally speaking they are high paying jobs.. Upper middle class on the public dime.. Yes they are hard working and no we cant afford them..

  6. But…But….But….We were told we have the best Health Care System In The World…..looks like this was a load of BS as well; similar to Global Warming and The Government Is Here To Protect You. Ok Every One Out Of The Pool…..dry off and start facing reality…..we are screwed!!!!!!

  7. Don’t worry. 84% of all jobs created in Canada since the lockdowns were in the public sector. They’ll get it all solved, well, maybe after the next election. Besides, delivering mundane services that previous generations of useful idiots outsourced to the state is so yesterday. Cultural revolution, divide and conquer, green theocracy, global governance, and despotism is so much more cool.

  9. There’s nothing like a resource rich country killing it’s resource economy to fill the ever growing “public service” that produces nothing to positively prove “Progressive” mental illness.

    It’s a good thing for us that our prehistoric ancestors preferred to hunt, farm, and gather wood instead of forming welfare bureaucracies to try and service themselves.

    1. Yup!
      Progs don’t understand how wealth is created.
      It’s their foundational flaw and every stupid thing they act and utter is based on this absurdity.

      1. Buddy, nor do they understand the concept of scarcity.
        This might be the true root of their flawed “thinking”.
        The most foundational flaw!

      1. It seems to be a hidden secret on planet Earth that resource-rich countries have the highest standard of living.

        That’s one reason Prinz Dummkopf wants us to be “green”. He needs masses of the impoverished to micturate upon.

  10. L – Let me correct that headline for you; it helps to explain the, why things are falling apart:
    “Prime Minister spent the majority of last month, with his head in the clouds”
    ——————————————————————————————————————————–
    Prime minister spent all but 11 days last month in the air

    Flight data shows Prime Minister Trudeau flew 26,238 km. aboard CANFORCE ONE last month, compared to just 26,059 km. flown between June 1 and Aug. 31 2021

    1. Too bad there isn’t a colony on Mars as he’d be willing to escape to there–anything to get out of the country he openly despises and loathes and anything to get out of doing a job he’s clearly bored with.

        1. In some ways, he reminds me of some of my students at Armpit College. Many of them started my courses full of enthusiasm, thinking that AC was like high school.
          They quickly became disenchanted when they found out that they actually had to earn their rewards, which meant they had to put in some effort and learn something.

          Prinz Dummkopf saw the ceremonial aspects that his (alleged) father’s job entailed and he thought that it suited him. The thought of dining on champagne and caviar while hobnobbing with important people appealed to him.

          Then he found out that he actually had to make decisions and that, along with making them, came taking responsibility for whatever happened. It wasn’t fun after that.

      2. Not only bored with but totally incapable of doing the job. You have to have some morals, ethics, integrity, honesty, and not be a half wit brain dead fool with a larger than life ego and a communist sympathizer to boot.

  13. As I work in a hospital setting ….we have soooo many managers. Many of them do not appear to have any real purpose and the hosp could run just fine without half of them I am sure.

    1. The great Milton Friedman did a hospital study once.
      He found that, with hospitals, increased inputs led to reduced productivity. The phenomenal rise in the ratio of administrators to teachers is also an enormous problem in academia.

      Learning this was a seminal moment in my informal economics education.

      1. The phenomenal rise in the ratio of administrators to teachers is also an enormous problem in academia.

        While I was teaching at Armpit College, I often had students who warned me to treat them nice and give them good grades because “we’re paying your salary”.

        Uh, no. If they were really concerned about that sort of thing, they should have looked into what their money really bought. As I mentioned in my earlier post, the place suffered from bureaucratic bloat, not to mention that the senior administrative office always seemed to get new carpets every year. There was money for that sort of thing, even after a lot of support services, such as the janitors, had been given over to contractors.

        By comparison, I was earning near the top of my scale before I quit but AC also had the reputation for the lowest salaries among comparable institutions.

  14. If you look at a large dental clinic, there are maybe three or four dentists with ten or more dental hygienists and maybe two admin people (with a more senior hygienist pulling back-up with the admin staff when there are a lot of patients). But that’s because dentist’s offices in Canada are businesses. So, they are geared to provide maximum patient care (which generates money) versus admin (which is an overhead cost). However, the socialized medicine structure of Canada’s health system requires a lot of admin types to pass on the regulations from “higher” and to ensure that said regulations are being followed, and the typical nugatory work for which government agencies are renowned. Therefore, if you look at a typical Canadian hospital at least one of its wings is dedicated solely to admin staff (well beyond that which is required for billing, accounting, pay and record keeping–as an added bonus those admin types fall under a provincial public service workers’ union–so you can’t fire them if they don’t add any benefit to the service or are totally useless at their job.

    1. Many post-secondary educational institutions are like that.

      At Armpit College, we had 3 or 4 vice-presidents, though it was never clear to me what they all did.

      The departmental level was even worse. Usually there was one head, though I knew of at least one that had two (yeah, yeah, I know: two heads are better than one…..). Then there were the assistant department heads and, in some, they multiplied like mushrooms. I guess there were a few who spent their days playing solitaire on the computer.

      And then came the support staff. Personnel, as I called it, eventually got a building of its own. It wasn’t just paper-shufflers whose main tasks were to explain one’s employment benefits. A lot of them were there as “trainers”, conducting useless courses in whatever the latest bizbabble fad was.

      The timetabling office, which couldn’t figure out our schedules but knew exactly when its coffee breaks and holidays were for the next few years, was bloated and largely useless.

      I figured that about a third of the staff could be cut and nobody who was left would have noticed. Individual work loads wouldn’t have changed much and things would have functioned almost the same as before.

  15. Are we looking for an argument why single-payer healthcare is a really bad idea?
    Forced is bad no? Options are good yes?
    Why is this even a thing?

    1. Agreed RedPop, “Why is this even a thing?”. I suspect the reason for refusing to allow “competition” with private clinics, is due to the reality that the efficiency and $ results requirements for private clinics, would demonstrate the sad realities of the government systems and the astronomical costs required by the bloated systems compared to private ones. There is also the resulting kickback system that would be affected, and politicians would not approve of that. They think are entitled to their entitlements!

  17. Keystone Party officially launches, leader says party will focus on grassroots approach

    The newest political party in Manitoba officially launched and its leader wants the group to welcome people who may feel disenfranchised by the current system.

    Keystone Party of Manitoba leader Kevin Friesen said the idea for the party was born three years ago after a number of Manitobans, who were unhappy with the growing divide amongst political parties, the leaders and the people they represent couldn’t find a way to get current political parties to better engage people. Founding members canvassed the province and developed a framework for the party and once that was done it was about collecting 2,500 signatures, which wasn’t hard, Friesen told a small crowd of supporters at the Vimy Ridge Memorial Park for the launch event on Friday.

    “For too long, we have let our elected representatives assimilate to a predetermined agenda that does not serve the membership,” Friesen said. “It just serves the whims of the leader. That archaic model will end.”

  18. The biggest administrator is Google…

    If you google “BlackRock buying homes” all the top results are articles by leftwing news outlets explaining why it isn’t happening but also why it isn’t a problem if it is happening

    https://mobile.twitter.com/AuronMacintyre/status/1554156247548665856?cxt=HHwWgIC9ye63vJErAAAA

    Goebbels would be so jealous of the modern mass media.

    My favorite is the new google warning “It looks like these results are changing quickly” which is basically code for “we’re still working on the official propaganda, check back later”

  19. “One administrator is like having five to ten extra nurses on the job.” Deepest sarcasm there.

    Firing one administrator is like having ten extra nurses. I guess it will be a long time before they fire ’em though, so many other people to fire first. Second last to go are the admins. The janitors are last-last, because nobody likes to clean up and put the garbage out.

    1. You can say it any time you want. After all we are a free coun….. Never mind.
