Nobody in Canada isn’t aware that Quebec is the LARGEST recipient of transfer payments - aka - Equalization payments.
And nobody in Canada is under the impression that Canadians don’t pay enough taxes.
However…
In March of this year, Premier of Quebec, Francois Legault decided he was going to “Spend $9.2 billion dollars, lowering taxes for his province:
Now…how does a government spend money, before taking this money to begin with?
Transfer payments.
As in…Quebec is the Largest welfare province in Canada, receiving about 60% of the “Equalization Payments”:
While they only make up around 23% of the population.
And, also…while they make up the HIGHEST taxed population province of Canada:
As in…they not only over-tax their own province…they still need the most amount of WELFARE from Equalization payments.
WTF?
How is it that these people are so irresponsible with their own funds and get an entire party support for more funds from the rest of Canada?
Welp…it’s actually not that different from the “Supply and Confidence” deal that the NDP has with the Liberal Party of Canada:
Us Canadian Taxpayers continue to feed our monies to this financially mismanaged province, while they continue to support the Liberal Party of Canada.
This is no difference.
They get the dough and support the most incompetent and corrupt PM the country has ever seen, no different than the NDP/Liberal party of BC.
Why are we doing this?
Can we at least, stop pretending this isn’t the same Con(fidence) deal that Jagmeet Singh signed, officially?
I mean…check this shit out:
Spend more money to prevent the sun from heating the planet, stop investing in “fossil fuels”, and buy electric vehicles for their public transit.
Who would support this madness?
You guessed it…
All of the same freeloaders who don’t seem to realize that this shit costs all Canadians for a problem that we aren’t even a part of.
Nobody ‘ASKS’ for this shit…
They just keep screeching for more of it, thinking that at some point, people will relent.
We won’t.
Because they:
Can’t actually prove that the climate is changing outside of the boundaries of the last 4.7 billion years, based on 150 years of tracking.
Can’t prove that the sun isn’t doing this on it’s own, with or without us.
Have already claimed that Canada isn’t a major contributing factor to Global Climate Change.
Refuse to hold any other countries to the same standards.
REFUSE to stop using hydrocarbons to HEAT THEIR HOMES IN THE WINTER!
Oh sure…
They are gullible and narcissistic enough to believe that Canada should be self-flagellating…only as long as it doesn’t inconvenience themselves and that will allow them more Federal funding.
It’s all the same grift.
Tell ya what…
We cut them off of equalization payments…force them into a taxation rate that is equivalent to the rest of the country…and start tracking their budgets and guess what we find?
Exactly.
A province run by lunatics…that have no responsibility to their constituents…that continue to overtax them and blame all other Canadians for their short fallings.
No thanks.
Not gunna play this game anymore.
Time for Alberta to cheque out. Alberta Sovereignty!
I live in Quebec. Been saying for years for Canada to call Quebec's bluff once and for all. The fear was we didn't want to break Canada. ironically, it's the Federal government that's breaking Canada. There's little left to preserve. Look at all the bills they passed from 21 to 5 to 75 and others. ALL laws that weaken Canada.
Quebec is in total disarray. Equalization payments only enabled the province to continue its dysfunctional behaviour.
Sure, Legault will react like all Premiers do saying it's 'Quebec bashing' but at this point, the sad jig is up. And I'm sorry, every province is out of control. Only Alberta and Saskatchewan make some attempt at being reasonable. But the three biggest provinces are simply out of control
