Lets see. It helps, but while Canadians save, we have to set the conditions for massive success.What if you add in the 17cents/litre cut in taxes to gas over a year? Do we hit over 400$/yr combined for the average family?
We are talking about less than 1/2 dozen of these 'nation building' projects.
Let's be realistic here, the coffers don't have enough silver (sold the gold off a long time ago) coins in it to fund less than a handful of these sort of projects over the next 2-5yrs in addition to increasing the CAF funding. Its not going to be 8-15 'nation building' projects in the 10-20+ billion dollar range.
Some people are merely seeking the microphone simply to hear the sound of their own voices. When I'm on a Zoom call at work, I know when certain people start to talk I can go on mute and go off and brew a cup of tea, find the biscuits, let the dog out for a pee and come back to them still blathering about something of no value. The same is happening here.
Zackly ...Which indigenous team? I sense multiple teams in tbe offing.
It will be pointless to save that kind of money if a 3 bedroom house cost $1 million + or steaks at the grocery store cost over $100 each.What if you add in the 17cents/litre cut in taxes to gas over a year? Do we hit over 400$/yr combined for the average family?
EDIT:
60 litres of gas a week for say 50 weeks of the year = 3,000 liters X .17 cents = 510$/yr in savings. Add in the 280, you gest 790$/yr.
Zackly ...
except I am afraid that he thinks exactly the same way. His history shows total opposition to petroleum products. If he was truly trying to improve things for Canadians he would have dropped the entire carbon tax and he would have pulled the restrictions on north Pacific tanker traffic.Lets see. It helps, but while Canadians save, we have to set the conditions for massive success.
The biggest problem I see with Carney Liberals is trying to please everyone and getting nothing done.
Look at pipelines. That alone represents the rest of the resource sector. I suspect he wants to really open those up but does not want to piss off the greenies/commies/quebecois portion of the Liberal base.
The whole debacle with EV mandate 2035 (starts in 2026), his team is not meeting this head on and getting ahead of it. They won't change the laws but I assure you as we see with the massive EV failures, Canadians will NOT give up ICE vehicles by 2035.
I will have to expand this list later.
I really think the way forward for Mark Carney is to once and for all ditch the holdover Trudeau loyalist/inner circle and their way of thinking, build the resource sector on the whole with NO half baked limits, for real cut the fat on public sector employment (offer them hiring into the CAF or the RCMP), he can do all this under "the context of Trump's shadow on the nation"... It would be the perfect scape goat to lose the shitty parts of the old LPC mindset.
Fair pointIt will be pointless to save that kind of money if a 3 bedroom house cost $1 million + or steaks at the grocery store cost over $100 each.
This current parliament has had the best chirps and zingers I've ever heard from question period
Hajdu said:Poverty rates have been going down since 2015
Well there's Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.By zingers do you mean lies?
Coupled with a 90% increase in food bank usage since 2019.Well there's Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.
Canada's Official Poverty Dashboard of Indicators: Trends, April 2024
Canada’s Poverty Reduction Strategy introduced the Official Poverty Line for Canada and a dashboard of 12 indicators to track progress on poverty reduction for Canadians and their households. This infographic presents trend information for Canada's official poverty rate and the associated 12...www150.statcan.gc.ca
So yes...poverty rates are significantly lower than they were in 2015 (9.9% in 2022 vs 14.5% on 2015) but that also ignores the fact that they have also risen from their low of 6.4% in 2020.
Remind me again who's actually responsible for those things? Oh right not the PM and feds, its provincial. Provincial policies affect things like homelessness, and job rates much more then the feds. Like Alberta having one of the highest unemployment rates, and highest youth unemployment rate in the country. Some of the highest electricity rates that studies have shown we have over paid for by billions, one of the highest insurance rates in the country, and a minimum wage that hasn't changed in 7 years.Coupled with a 90% increase in food bank usage since 2019.
New Prime Minister; same old party tricks.
Is Alberta responsible for the minister of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario lying about the poverty rate in Canada dropping "since 2015"?Remind me again who's actually responsible for those things?
Yup. Agreed. Mark, pick a lane and get it in it. It would be very straight forward if he did as My Miyagi said to Daniel-san "Do Karate yes or do karate no, don't karate think so"except I am afraid that he thinks exactly the same way. His history shows total opposition to petroleum products. If he was truly trying to improve things for Canadians he would have dropped the entire carbon tax and he would have pulled the restrictions on north Pacific tanker traffic.

Blaming the feds is the easy button, the actual answer is much more complicated

@MilEME09 The federal government sets the pace for the nation.
First off, she's also jobs minister, so this is sorta-kinda within her remit. Second, like the guy said ....Is Alberta responsible for the minister of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario lying about the poverty rate in Canada dropping "since 2015"?
Let's see - the stats show this ....Well there's Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.
Pedantic wordsmithing alert

... so she was wrong to say "... have been going down since ..." I'll leave it to the philosophers & others smarter than me to decide if she was lying or not.
WAG: either whoever wrote her Question Period response wasn't precise in their wording, or the DS solution answer was ignored/bypassed as the Minister ad libbed a response.
