Since the article didn't include on relative terms what it means:

From the BC Budget and Fiscal Plan 2024/25 - https://www.bcbudget.gov.bc.ca/2024/pdf/2024_Budget_and_Fiscal_Plan.pdf

Revenue by Source pg.148

In comparison to budgeted expenses 2024/25

• Double what we spend on transportation (2 .775B)
• Total Healthcare(35.944B)
• Just for the Cons amongst us. Debt servicing(4.105B)

Expense by Function pg.150

Forgot to add what the health minister is apparently wacking off to.

Health Canada said 450,000 Canadians have received dental care through the program since it began providing care on May 1.

Conservatives call dental plan 'botched', health minister 'wacko'

I never really know with Conservatives voters, but I think the start of divergence of the Liberals and Conservative around June/July 2023 was around the time they decided to implement the Online News Act that temporarily dropped news from Google feeds and permanently from Facebook.

I think the Liberal incompetence at handling modern social media will end up costing them a lot of votes. Although I still stand by my prediction that by 2029ish Pierre will be one of the most despised Canadians.

One of safest Conservative ridings in the country.

This post is also a good example of Lemmy clients not rendering things correctly. Sometimes the image is the full resolution sometimes it's the thumbnail resolution.

The cheapest place to get a ~1-2 year loan would most likely be:

1. Credit transfer promo at 0%(they get you with the transfer fee usually 2% these days.) and 6m terms.
2. HELOC assuming they have equity for that.
3. Shopping around for LoC's. Some places have way higher rates then others. For example my Scotia LoC used to be like 30k at 6.5% and TD was 11k at 11.75%. Also keep in mind that each LoC will most likely require credit checks.

A 2012 report from David Campanella, then the public policy research manager for the Parkland Institute, and Greg Flanagan, a public finance economist, concluded that privatization has led to Albertans paying more compared to public stores.

In this case is more about what you would get out of Biden, Harris, Vance or Trump.

As long as she's willing to strongly push for a ceasefire as American you got other things to worry about. And for the record I do agree it's a genocide.

As a Canadian I feel like people who support our right wing politicians are very generous with the accuracy of what they say and their American counterparts are even more so.

Yet somehow the Progressive side is held to this unusual standard where they're constantly painted as the villain if they're off by the slightest bit.

The man the many believe is the salvation to this country.

Jeremy MacKenzie, the leader of the Canadian far-right group Diagolon, made the threats over the weekend in a stream on the social media app Telegram while speaking with a guest, Alex Vriend.

"Let's rape her," MacKenzie said. "It's not really a sex thing. It's like we just want to show people that we can do things to you if we want to. It's a power move."

Because that's exactly what Pierre Poilievre continues to do, not just when you see him engaging with members of Diagolon but also when he refuses to condemn and reject the endorsement of Alex Jones."

assuming unaccountable emergency power

Logically speaking wouldn't you be against the person who said they'd use the notwithstanding clause running the country?

From a Conservatives perspective NDP is blocking them from taking over and saving the country. From Progressive perspective the NDP is preventing a bad government turning even worse.

Our rates from a 90 year perspective for anyone wondering:

Just to be clear we are in agreement that NDP has done more for Canadians this term.

If CPC/Oppositions job is purely to oppose the government why did they vote yes thousands of times on Liberal/NDP motions. By your standard are you saying Conservative MP's are so incompetent they don't when to stand or press the right button?

Are you disputing my comment or just randomly asking me a question?

Jagmeet has also done a ton more for Canadians with 24 seats compared to Pierre and his 118.

That one is going to be on the people. I've encountered a few die hard Liberals here and they're as baffling as a Conservative loyalist.

If the polls hold up and the Conservative win people should realize that the LIberal's could have changed things dramatically by implementing Voting Reform but refused to do so.

Specifically the 155/108 Liberal MP's getting paid at least 200k at year and their entire job is to lead this country holds a substantially higher burden then the millions of Canadians who barely spends any effort reading a news headline.

I want to be clear this isn't in any shape or form a complement to the Liberals.

Pure GDP outlooks isn't necessarily going to be tied to higher quality of life for Canadian especially given why it's growing, but this should show how far gone most Conservative dialogue for policies is.

There's a lot of dialogue about how the Liberal could salvage the upcoming election but everything I've seen looks like they're just going to take a break and do a round of sitting on corporate boards. Then in 2029 they'll see what they can get away after people get 4 years of atrocious governing.
