Canadian economic restart task force

[15444]

There is no quick turnaround from this. Millions will be unemployed even after the all clear is given. And none will have any money to spend on an economy. Government will be giving out EI checks for months to come (before transforming it into a a universal basic income check). You fooling yourself if you think any taxes are being eliminated or going down percentage-wise.

Disposable income will basically be eliminated in the population. Watch for CRA to pull out its ultra-mega microscope when looking at taxes. Start combining border information with individual income and you could easily see them start targeting those with foreign assets. Socialists will be happy when government says anything over $40k in net income is extravagant and must be surrendered for the good of the motherland.

Hey chuck please stop with the politics! Canadians do not have the time or patience for these games anymore! Please Let it go! There is not one person out there who has not made some mistakes but that doesn’t mean they haven’t learned valuable tough lessons that may in fact be valuable experience to bring to the table! If we don’t work together we will all fail.

Grant Devine just about bankrupted Saskatchewan.

Under Devine's premiership, Saskatchewan's debt grew from $3.5 billion to $12 billion.[5] Devine governed during some of the worst droughts since the "Dirty Thirties". The price of oil and agricultural commodities collapsed. In the end, the high cost of government mortgage rate reduction policies during 19 per-cent interest rates and his agricultural rescue policies resulted in a large deficit. The year Devine came to government the provincial GDP only grew 0.6 per cent, down from 20.9 per cent growth the previous year.[6]

Grant was in charge when - Although Devine himself was never implicated in any criminal wrongdoing, 13 out of 55 Conservative MLAs and staffers were subsequently charged with expense account fraud committed during Devine's second term (1986–1991). The scheme accounted for $837,000 of defrauded government funds.[15] Of these a handful were acquitted while some served prison time.[16][17]

Maybe they should of impeached him ?
History is kind to grant , wont be to the ****oo clock child

That was the cost of bringing Sask. out of the stone age and the investment he made has payed back thousands of time over!

Devine made investments that set this province on track to take advantage of what the province was capable of producing...

No other premier had long term vision of the province since ....they all lived in his shadow...including Wall and Moe....

Devine might have mortgaged the province but his bets were on the right industries...

Every government succumbs to corruption...

No doubt Grant Divine understood saskatchewan agriculture and was supportive since he was a part time farmer as well, but that didn't make him a great premier or a good money manager.

The last time Grant Divine was suggested as a nominee for the Conservative Party of Canada this is what happened:

"The Conservative Party of Canada has denied a nomination bid by former Saskatchewan premier Grant Devine.

"The national nominations committee, in consultation with the local nominations committee for Souris-Moose Mountain, has determined that Mr. Devine's name would not be entered in the contest for the Conservative party nomination for Souris-Moose Mountain," party official Tom Jarmyn said.

The party gave no specific reason for rejecting Mr. Devine.

Mr. Devine, who was premier from 1982 to 1991, was at the helm of the Tories during the biggest political scandal in Saskatchewan history.

Some 21 party members were charged after it was discovered that legislators and caucus workers illegally diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars from government allowances form 1987-1991. Sixteen were convicted of fraud and breach of trust."

He is persona non grata in most Conservative circles. He has baggage!

Agree. Even if you put God on the committee, none of these realities will change. Add to the list, people started out this journey in debt.

All the people mentioned on the committee will be just fine however.

I wouldn’t want either of those. I think Danielle Smith would be good.
