I’m sure this problem is nothing that several billion more in equalization payments won’t fix. In the meantime, you can just keep blaming Trump.
Against the backdrop of U.S. tariff threats, the Quebec government tabled a budget on Tuesday with a record $13.6-billion deficit and billions of dollars in new infrastructure spending to stimulate the economy.
How big is the deficit in Quebec if Alberta leaves confederation and equalization payments come to a stop?
the equalization payments will never stop, and the FedGov already gives Tax Points to Quebec, where they pay less federal income tax, while paying more provincial income tax.
Exactly, the total tax load is higher on Quebec residents. But the money is pissed away by government in exactly the same fashion.
Quebec is the source of many of Canaduh’s problems and very few of it’s solutions.
I truly do no like Upper or Lower Canada.
A several billion deficit for infrastructure in Quebec will get you a small overpass, some filled potholes, and a lot of mobsters and politicians fat and happy.
You can substitute any province in that sentence. I think “infrastructure” is another word for “grift” in government speak. Don’t forget Unions in that list.
And a lot of ‘virtual’ cément.
Look for Marx Carney to try to impose an export tax on Alberta oil with the money going to Quebec. Just another version of the NEP.
^^^^ This^^^^. It is pretty much baked in the cake at this point. Premier Smith threatened marx with a separation vote over this. Lets get it on.
Blame Trump? No thanks I prefer to blame Quebec instead, the only provice getting equalization payments running a deficit.
Once again, this news doesn’t make it to Legacy Media.
After the ten year Trudeau frat party.. The Canadian economy is on its last legs.. Our dollar lost around 15% of its value.. The only thing worse than our GDP is our producibility.. Open borders, net zero, LGBQ swan dive off a cliff..
Liberals are stupid.. Leftists are malicious and Conservatives are cucks.. We may be broken beyond repair..
Billions of dollars of loot. Call it what it is.
