How can the Idiot have support of 54% of The Canadian Population?

[WiltonRanch]

That's the case with most elections nowadays it seems - a problem of the media age we live in. The progression to reality TV stars standing for political office is just a further dumbing down of our political system. If we elect them we get the Government we deserve though.

Yep. People deserve the govt they vote for. I'm young enough but old enough not to be classed as a millennial. Thank ****ing God. I know of hard working independent ones but God there are some entitled useless brats out there who now hold the balance of power. They've never had it hard nor had to be accountable to anyone nor themselves. Not until we are plunged into despair will their minds or sense of entitlement change. It's not only urban people but also rural people. With the oil patch in the crapper and little work to be had it is near impossible to get some of these young guys to take a lower pay job. They'd sooner sit in their misery than work. I have a few kids and what we get for a monthly cheque is crazy. I'm at the lower end of income and my wife is stay at home so it definitely helps but in the grande scheme it isn't sustainable. How many other carrots out there to buy votes? I know this extra money we'll probably pay back in higher taxes anyway. It's all a shell game. They'll give you this fat cheque, price carbon which increases living expenses, and in the end you're worse off cause you pay more income tax and what's left after is less. One way or another you pay more. Only way I see I can trim expenses is to not participate in the economy ie don't buy shit but that's impossible with my family. If I was single like before I'd heat with a grain stove and eat my own grown food and become a hermit of sorts. Yeah right.

Be careful quoting pew research (or any poll) as fact.
Here is one fact. My countys' revenue from oil and gas is down substantially. Land taxes will have to go up.

I quote it merely to refute comments like "If u asked most people they wouldn't care". We may not believe the facts presented by research but they are surely more credible than facts produced with no research?

It's even from CBC!


54% OF CANADIANS SAY THE ECONOMY IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE


Environment and health are tied at 2nd with 11%



Maybe the government should worry about the same stuff as the people!!

Brad Wall committed himself, and his government, for whatever reason, into trading jobs for a small resource revenue take. I believe that
history will, and has indicated that that was not a wise strategy considering the downturn in the economy that always arrives, but he owns the decision, and Sk. owns the debt. Perhaps that hurt will force him out.

I believe, however, that he has taken the right decision to contest JT's federal government decision to tax Sk. citizen's on carbon. Pulling money out of a citizen's right pocket to put it into the left pocket, or someone else's left pocket is silly. You only aid the continuation of a bloated public service. That appears to be what you object to, is it not?

I'm, also, glad to hear that you believe that carbon taxing is a "screw up". History will show that JT federal policies of debt, and carbon will put Canada "justin trouble".

Don't become a patsy, and take his blame for either.

[stubblejumper]

What I have a hard time believing is that we elected idiots like Ritz and Anderson

Well, someone did. Get over it.

Take solace in that you may not have been in either of their constituencies.
It's not your fault, and not your problem.

[QUOTE=foragefarmer;333355]All the Brad Wall supports are real quiet about the issue of the bloated public service work force he has built up through his years as Premier of Sask. But that's ok he's our boy and it doesn't matter if my tax dollars are wasted by him, let's complain about the other parties screw up and and turn the cheek on Brad.

You guys are priceless bitch moan and complain about everything never satisfied, how about all of you returning those Federal and Province cheques you received over the years from Ag support programs, oh ya that's right we worked for them and that makes it ok.[/QUOTE

Farm Support Programs? Yeh, right! Many farmers spent a whole lot more than they received. Many hired big accounting firms, then found out 19 and 20 year-olds entered their data incorrectly. Their applications couldn't pass the plausibilty tests and after many thousands of dollars were wasted on applications that were crappy, they would have to pay back their payments when they delivered all their grain or sold their calves.

Most of those bloats were put there by Roy and Lorne. Can't take it away once its there. Just ask the natives.

I can believe it. So many looking for a handout. Caught 2 min of interview on CBC yesterday about national child care. Interviewing some Asian pretty boy from the center of the universe, whining that we absolutely need national childcare funding. Him and his wife were spending $36k a year for 3 kids care and he said his wife ALMOST had the quit her job!

ALMOST?! How ****ing well off are you and your wife that spending 36k to look after your rotten spawn is even optional?

Can't afford the little bastards, don't have them.

I heard a childcare report on CB.
Quebec has the "cheapest".
Government run is always cheaper.
Sask wasn't much higher.
Poor Toronto and Van-Kong paid the most.
I'd be inarested in Quebec's all in cost.
Bet you can them from the lowest to the highest.

wealth redistribution happens with all the parties.
it is just where it goes and what it's for, that is the question.

while i am not keen on the carbon tax
i am also not keen on paying duties on tires , to keep american tire jobs
i do not like paying double for farm chemicals or prescription drugs either.
but we do , because of conservative policies.
or making some developer from alberta a fortune , because he is connected to bill boyd

i am sure the asian pretty boy looking for child care , is not keen on me depositing my NISA cheque.

our canadian contribution to fight greenhouse gases does seem a little futile.and silly
esp at - 25 ,
.
we trust science and math to drive our tractors straight down the field and do not think it is a conspiracy.
but when it comes to greenhouse gases. well
