I just have to say, I really appreciate you on this forum and thank you for standing up to ignorant people like them as regularly as you do. It is refreshing to see. :)

I showed we had the slowest growth in the OECD due to this same bureaucracy, you're hurting those you think you are helping, these things fund our safety net.

When we hit a recession you won't be able to blame greedy corporations for our ills, it will have been those putting up barricades for growth. We have food bank usage rising extremely quickly, people living in rest stops, and we haven't even hit a recession yet.

By every metric Canada is not hurting as much as you want to pretend. We can do much better, but this narrative of a broken Canada is populist nonsense.

Use your brain and realize "Record food bank usage" isn't ideal, but it is great to know that the safety net has provided food to those who needed it when they needed it.

This is happening globally and we do not need people like you stoking fires. If you want to shit on policy have your own alternatives to back it up or sit down and let the adults talk.
