Carney's Installment Cost the Taxpayer Half a Billion

No joke:

The April 28 general election cost more than half a billion, says Elections Canada. Expenses included the hiring of 250,000 poll workers nationwide: ‘That’s $19.79 for each registered elector.’ 

 

All so that he could leave in four years.

In Canada, we have a democratic deficit. And before you say ”so what?” realize that it is costing you a lot of money, liberties, and safety.

First, what is the democratic deficit?

It is the fact that Canada is being run by one guy, Prime Minister Mark Carney, who calls all the shots.

In other democracies around the world, elected representatives are working as you read this.

In France, committees of elected deputies are reviewing spending and budgets (we don’t even have a budget).

In Britain, MPs are in London, making trouble for the incompetent Labour government.

In Washington, Members of Congress are is session, debating the issues of the day.

Where are Canadian MPs? In their ridings, or on the beach.

Yes, some are working with constituents, but what about holding the PM to account?

They sat for four weeks in the spring, then left Ottawa, promising to return mid-September.

Who is making the decisions in the all-important battle with Trump, that will shape Canada for generations? Carney.

Who is making decisions on spending? Carney.

Who is making decisions on immigration? Carney.

Who is making decisions on law and order matters?

You guessed it: Carney.

Now, as some readers will say, what about his cabinet?

Except for a few strong ministers, Carney’s cabinet has been reduced to a dispirited rag-tag band of MPs revelling in their good fortune of having been elevated, but with very little decision-making authority.

This is not all the fault of Carney. It started with Trudeau One, and was finely-honed to its present autocracy by his son, delegating all decisions to his unelected assistants. Remember that Trudeau letter to senior government officials ordering them to accept all instructions from his close advisors as though that instruction came from Justin himself?
