Every election has its consequences.
When you vote in someone who has all of the financial acumen of a particularly innumerate turnip, then you will pay a literal price:
Remember this exchange in 2020 between Glen McGregor and Justin Trudeau about paying for C-19 debt?

I find it interesting that Trudeau’s current attack on Poilievre is the threat of austerity.

The study found that more than 640,000 children under 18 used the food bank in the same time frame, accounting for a third of the total number of clients. More than a quarter of all clients were newcomers who have lived in Canada for less than a decade — a figure that has doubled since 2016.

The only thing the government needs to do is get out of the way, not hold your hand.
Typical Canadian:
She's now waiting for her employment insurance benefits to begin while looking for a new customer service job in the insurance industry, where she previously worked for eight years.
"I'm going to take some of my background and apply it," she said.
Meanwhile, to keep her Honda running, Finlayson said she has to travel with a jug of coolant and top up the radiator along the way to keep it from overheating.
Even with some family help, she's not sure she'll have the full rent when Nov. 1 arrives next week.
Her message to politicians is working Canadians with modest incomes are falling behind.
"They need to understand that the costs of living have exceeded the wages," she said. "The economy can't survive in that situation. It just doesn't balance anymore. It will impede people's mental health — and we as a country will get weaker if they don't provide some support."

Follow the money. What Saudi company is getting rich off of this?:
Montreal will ban gas-powered systems in new construction starting next fall, with some notable exceptions.
The new regulation, adopted by the city's executive committee this morning, will apply to new, small buildings — up to three storeys and 600 square metres in area — as of Oct. 1, 2024, and larger buildings starting six months later.
Examples of soon-to-be prohibited systems include residential gas-powered stoves, indoor gas fireplaces, hot water heaters and furnaces that emit greenhouse gases and barbecues and pool or spa heaters that draw from gas lines.
The city says exceptions include emergency generators, commercial stoves in restaurants, gas-powered barbecues with removable tanks and temporary heating devices used during construction work.
Industrial buildings are also exempt, as are combustion heaters in larger buildings that draw only from renewable sources of gas.
The Commons public accounts committee yesterday agreed to summon federal managers to justify an $8 million expense for a solar-powered warehouse at Rideau Hall. It follows a separate report demanding that Governor General Mary Simon cut spending on Beef Wellington and silk jackets: “The list of ridiculous spending keeps growing.”
