Blacklocks- Bonuses Were Extra: Fortier
Cabinet’s estimated $5.2 billion cost of settling with striking federal employees did not include the expense of $2,500 bonuses, says Treasury Board President Mona Fortier. Bonuses would add more than a third of a billion to the settlement: “We can adjust the amount.”
Canadians will take to the streets any day now, right?
Right?
It’s the non striking managers that will receive bonuses. Civil Service management always does well and are very often useless.
“We can adjust the amount.”
Funny, when I tried to use this to lower my taxes I got a threat…
What they really mean is that they won’t really get 2500 it will be less the fake withhold tax.
What a *&^%$g waste!
Imagine all the good things that money could have been used for: press welfare, hotel rooms in London, tranny festivals, etc …
As long as they have their shots, I’m good.
They should have also demanded an antidote to the vaccine. But this works. Freedom through genocide I guess.
The $2500 bonus was part of the contract renegotiation and may should turn out to be revenue neutral as if you make $100k per year (most of them don’t BTW, not even close) and strike for two weeks you lose $4k in salary. Unless I miss my guess this essentially boils down to these people not losing pay for the strike period. Support it or don’t, but it doesn’t seem that that “adds a third of a billion to the settlement” if it was money that was already accounted for in salary-wage envelopes in the existing budget anyway. I don’t like any of this myself but I’m not fond of hyperbole either, on either side of the equation.
I heard the payroll system continued to pay them during the strike, and they have to apply to register ‘unpaid leave’ and get a clawback. Like that’s gonna happen!
Didn’t notice the strike, didn’t notice it end. All those federal workers, impact on Canadians? Zero, nada, zilch. Except for your taxes to pay the parasitic class, up they go.
Yes it might be humbling if they knew how little we missed them. I’m sure if it had continued too long there would have been some impact on ports, transportation and borders but really I don’t think the average Canadian missed them very much. Before striking you have to consider whether you will be missed and therefore not needed.
Hopefully the bonuses will bump them up into a higher tax bracket and some can be recovered
So.. A bunch of government workers were blocking a bunch of other government workers and they solved that by gifting themselves 5 billion dollars +..
You know we are economically doomed, right?.. Its no wonder banks are failing when money has no value.. Its no wonder the “Canadian government worker” supports every bad idea in the book.. Its not like they cant demand a 30% raise from “other government workers” to make it all go away..
Pay them all a trillion. It’ll help the currency approach its true value.
Taxes are just a punishment for trying not to be a ward of the state. The Government prints and spends a hell of a lot more than it collects.
I say raise minimum wage to $100/hr, and then place price caps on goods.
That way, everyone will have lots of money to buy lots of stuff!
What could go wrong?
When my policies are implemented, I will climb aboard my flying chariot drawn by a Pegasus, in order to rain my endless munificence down upon the grateful masses.
And theyre gonna up.my CCP/OAS BY How much…??
As flippin if..
steakman, the CPP was the biggest rip off ever. I could have put over a million dollars in real money investments away with my money the government pi**ed away with the CPP.
The OAS increase for people over 75 was enough to buy a 30 pack of beer a month, yahoo.
