And The Budget Will Balance Itself

Gradually Then Suddenly Shiny Pony SKExit 25 Comments

Moe, Smith — exactly what are we waiting for?

Unwilling to live within the tax revenues produced by the national economy, this government has borrowed more money in 8 years than all other Canadian governments combined since the nation was founded in 1867. This recklessness has doubled the national debt and created interest payments that are breaking all records – last year over $46 billion dollars and this coming year over $54 billion dollars. That is more than the federal government spends on the military, or healthcare. All of it taken from taxpayers to pay bondholders instead of being spent on public services.

Now, the centrepiece of their new budget is a capital gains tax targeting the few Canadian individuals and firms who invest in Canadian ventures or assets. This investment is what creates the new businesses and jobs and productivity the nation so badly needs.

It is bizarre to watch a morbidly obese and fiscally incompetent government propose – in the name of ‘fairness’ – to justify taking productive capital away from Canada’s small but critical investor class and hand it to the same bureaucracy that has for almost a decade shown they will only waste it.

Ten years of Harper’s fiscal restoration was laid waste by the Trudeau Liberals in the span of months. God Bless Poilievre, but he’s going to inherit a toxic stew of public debt and social entitlement that no amount of “common sense” can resolve. Extricating the economies of Saskatchewan and Alberta from this mess would be painful (of that there is no doubt) – but not doing so will be fatal.

ENDORSED.

“We will indeed experience a third referendum” on sovereignty, declared Parti Quebecois (PQ) leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon on Sunday, as he is convinced of being able to form the next government in 2026.

He suggested this future referendum could very well be that of the last chance because of the “existential threat” from the federal government “against our people.”

Galvanized by the polls which repeatedly placed him in first position, he was cheered on by around 500 party members and observers gathered at the party’s national council in Drummondville.

“Our moment will arrive,” he said, the moment in question being when Quebecers will be able to choose independence after the two previous referendum failures, in 1980 and 1995.

@WBrettWilson – The economic benefits to losing Quebec would be compelling. And they don’t really leave. We just stop over-funding the mudflaps.

Like a garden gnome wearing 4″ heels.

An “outsized pace of spending” means Canada is on course to run a budget shortfall of about $47 billion for the fiscal year that ends March 31, according to estimates released Thursday by Desjardins.

The projection raises more questions about how Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will meet her pledge to keep the country’s budget shortfall at around $40 billion a year from now until 2026.

“I think it’s going to be an exercise in creative accounting,” Randall Bartlett, Desjardins’ senior director of Canadian economics, who wrote the research note, said in an interview. “They either need to cut spending or increase revenues to make this work.”

A chorus of analysts and economists is warning that without tax increases or spending reductions, deficits are likely to rise amid slow economic growth.

At least they’re getting Canadians into homes, er… pods.

Let’s roll.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he has no regrets over exempting Atlantic Canadians from paying the carbon taxes on home heating oil — and didn’t rule out arresting Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe for not paying his.

When asked directly by The Western Standard if the ‘consequences’ of non-compliance included the possible arrest and imprisonment of government officials, his eyes narrowed and his tone became positively ominous.

Tristan Hopper;

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in a recent sexual assault case that it was “problematic” for a lower court judge to refer to the alleged victim as a “woman,” implying that the more appropriate term should have been “person with a vagina.”

In a decision published Friday, Justice Sheilah Martin wrote that a trial judge’s use of the word “a woman” may “have been unfortunate and engendered confusion.”

Martin does not specify why the word “woman” is confusing, but the next passage in her decision refers to the complainant as a “person with a vagina.” Notably, not one person in the entire case is identified as transgender, and the complainant is referred to throughout as a “she.”

The case was R. v. Kruk, which involved a 2017 charge of sexual assault against then 34-year-old Maple Ridge, B.C., man Charles Kruk

Stop whining, start doing.

Jason Nixon, now back in the inner circle of the UCP government led by Premier Danielle Smith, says many of those he represents in the legislature, those around the Sundre, Rocky Mountain House and Rimbey area, feel abused by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

His attacks on Alberta, his attacks on the oilpatch. They are well past fed up.

Nixon doesn’t hold back, slamming Trudeau for treating different parts of the country differently.

“The biggest threat to Confederation isn’t Albertans. We’re patriotic Canadians. It’s Justin Trudeau. He is the threat to Confederation. He wants to break it up. He is a threat to Canada, not Alberta,” says Nixon [..]

We do know after Smith’s latest meeting with Trudeau, where he wouldn’t budge on his impossible oilpatch emission targets for the next seven years or a net-zero electricity grid in a dozen years, the Alberta premier did say the province’s sovereignty act could be triggered if Ottawa doesn’t compromise and show some sense of reality.

The sovereignty act, where Alberta would just not follow Trudeau’s orders.

If the premier defies Ottawa in the name of Alberta, Nixon is confident there would be widespread support for “any actions it will take to defend our province from a hostile prime minister and a hostile federal government.”

“The premier’s job, and she knows it and I completely support her, is to defend Albertans and not try to appease elites in eastern Canada,” says Nixon.

“That’s not her job. Her job is to defend Albertans and that’s what she’s going to do.”

Trudeau is importing hundreds of thousands of immigrant voters for a reason, Mr. Nixon.

If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.

Earlier this month, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said the federal government’s goal for net-zero emissions wasn’t realistic.

He doubled down on that statement Tuesday while announcing the province’s plans for electricity generation to 2035 and beyond.

“The federal government’s standards for zero emissions electrical generation by 2035 are unrealistic and unaffordable,” Moe said in a media release. “They mean SaskPower rates would more than double and we may not have enough generation to keep the lights on.

“I’m not going to let that happen.”

That which can be ignored no longer: Alberta’s wind power drops to 2 megawatts out of 3618 on Friday, the lowest level we’ve seen yet

And by golly, we’re getting one.

Governments at all levels and their multitude of agencies, Crown corporations and departments employ a large chunk of Canada’s labour market. According to the Fraser Institute, as of July 2022, Canada’s public sector represented 21.8 per cent of all jobs in the economy — and growing.

That means that nearly one out of every four Canadians works for the government — a staggering percentage, which is nearly double that of the United States and almost the same as communist Venezuela.

Nearly the same percentage as the Trudeau voting base.

Related – The Wheat Growers Association says it was stunned to learn that striking federal workers had intentionally targeted the Cascadia Terminal in Vancouver – a major port for grain exports. However, before that grain can be exported, it needs to be inspected – that inspection is normally done by Canadian Grain Commission inspectors that are part of the PSAC Union.
