Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Most PS jobs don't have mandatory annual physicals or medicals so it can become a matter of peer pressure or self realization that they can't keep up.

As CZ operators, we had to submit medical reports every five years, under age 46, every three years, age 46-64, every year, age 65 and over.

If you returned to 9-1-1 Operations after an injury, you had to have an MD declare you Fit for Duty.

As far as shift work goes, only thing harder than our 20 twelve- hour shifts every six weeks, were the eight-hour shifts we worked prior to January, 1976.

Pity the poor TFS firefighters on their 24-hour tours. Lol emoji.

Well that's finished then. Because politicians always follow the rules.

No one always follow the rules, but it's a lot harder (not impossible, but harder) to be crooked when you are under a microscope. Imagine how much damage politicians could inflict if they had zero oversight and required no accountability?

Like political parties?

No, not like political parties.

We are quite possibly about to find out if Carney gambles on triggering for a majority. The self-assassination of Pierre is nearly complete, between his shooting his mouth and his d*ck off at the same time.

Can they panic the people into going even deeper in debt? We'll see I guess...

Carney taking a ‘gamble’ with large deficit in fall budget: Desjardins economist​

OTTAWA — A Desjardins economist argues the surge in government spending in the Liberals’ upcoming fall budget is a “gamble” that will lead either to unsustainable levels of public debt or a new era of economic growth.

Desjardins deputy chief economist Randall Bartlett released an analysis of federal finances Wednesday ahead of the much-anticipated fall budget, set for Nov. 4.

In an interview, he called this year’s federal budget — the first under Prime Minister Mark Carney — “unprecedented.”

“What sets this budget apart from previous budgets is the size of the deficit outside of a recession or pandemic,” Bartlett said.

Bartlett said that, outside flashpoints like the COVID-19 pandemic or recessions, the closest comparison to the scale of this deficit would be Canada ballooning debt crisis of the 1990s, which required a sharp fiscal correction. Ottawa’s fiscal position is much stronger today, Bartlett noted.

Finance Minster François-Philippe Champagne has argued the threats to Canada’s economy posed by U.S. tariffs and global trade disruption require a “generational” level of investment.

While governments often run steeper deficits in times of economic hardship, Bartlett argued the situation is different today.

And tell me how you think it would go if we had a national referendum on semi automatic rifles and pistols? Or guns overall.

Not sure you would like that outcome.

If held today, given the outsized LPC government backed influence of those small but vocal anti-gun lobby groups, it would be devastating to firearms users of all stripes, except for the first nations and criminals.

Would the outcome be different under a CPC government? Yes, I believe it would. However, we are years away from finding that out.

The biggest influencer of the outcome, in my opinion, would be the actual wording of the question.

PMMC would never do this because the promise of gun bans are a guaranteed vote getter. And you can't promise to ban guns once you've banned all the guns.

Sounds fair enough to me.

In April, the federal government offered auto companies exemptions from Canada's 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on the American auto sector.

But that benefit came with strings attached: The automakers had to continue making vehicles in Canada and complete the investments they’d already planned.

If companies broke that condition, the government warned it would limit how many tariff-free vehicles they could import from the U.S.

Effective immediately, the government is reducing the amount of American-assembled vehicles GM can import tariff-free by 24 per cent and cutting Stellantis's amount by 50 per cent, sources said.
