Wouldn't it be nice to have politicians who cared about people.

Kathy...

It is Christmas.

We can dream.

At least for a day.

Merry Christmas.

Wouldn't you like to be a seat filler when getting elected to represent your party, making 200 grand a year and a great pension when you retire? If you move forward holding a portfolio that's 300 grand a year. They increased my AOS by $18 and took away $300 from my GIS because my income was too high. How do you hold a corrupt government accountable when they have a free rein on spending? I just saw the figures our government is spending on climate control, billions upon billions of our hard-earned money going to waste. Homeless people, let them freeze, who cares? The cost-of-living crisis is ruining Christmas for Canadians, with three-in-five saying inflation is their number one concern, who cares?

I once was a proud Canadian, my life is coming to an end, let the next generation deal with it if they have the guts. If they don't move forward, they will die in their tracks. I feel sad for my grandson.

Before I left what used to be Canada several months ago and where I was it was a lot more than a third.

At least of those I knew it was almost unanimous that they were worse off than they were the previous year.

There were various degrees from "somewhat" to very much worse off but the theme was definitely WORSE OFF.

I ask the person question again, who, really and truly, believes that we can prosper by spending with borrowed money? Who, really and truly, believes that giving huge amounts of money to totally corrupt foreign governments is productive? The only overseeer of government spending is the taxpayers. Wake up and do your job taxpayers.

I wish I could hold my taxes from the CRA and contribute only to the programs/expenses I agree with. Maybe the government(s) would be more responsible. Considering how our PM is managing his personal finances, how much money does he really contribute to the CRA???

Sort of interesting how Australia is facing the same issues as Canada. If you watch this video, it's exactly the same, and the politician is all obtuse BS:

Christmas shopping isnt even the same. What used to be fun (some might not agree) is going out into the hustle and bustle of going into stores and malls looking for that special gift or getting the present that your kids have dreamt of all year. This year I haven't run into one lineup. Even though that sounds good the atmosphere just isn't the same. In the grocery store no one is picking up the biggest turkey. And all the fancy fixins....forget it. People are losing the spirit of Christmas and hope for the future. It's disgusting. Merry fucking Christmas. Bah humbug. Thanks libfucks. Hope you all get a big hunk of coal this year. Oh wait. Can't get that anymore either.
