It's like fooling a hamster in a maze:
New measures to provide lower-income Canadians with additional funds for dental care expenses, rent and general cost-of-living increases will be the first pieces of legislation the Liberal government will introduce when Parliament returns next week.
That includes doubling the GST credit for six months, providing direct payments for dental care for uninsured children under 12, and providing a one-time $500 top up to the Canada Housing Benefit.
The money taken from Canadians will be given back to them in form of programs that don't work.
How was this money taken and used?
Well ... :
Ottawa’s policies have: stranded the bulk of Canada’s vast proven oil and gas reserves, cost jobs and growth across the country, undermined national unity, jeopardized energy security, deprived Indigenous communities of transformative economic opportunities and now precluded assistance to allies in dire need. All this harm was deliberately inflicted to improve Canada’s green scorecard (and Trudeau’s resumé), which no one living more than a half mile from Rideau Cottage cares about. The climate measurement we should focus on is not the puny 1.5 per cent of global emissions we generate but overall global emissions, which could be lowered significantly if Asian countries substituted our LNG for the coal they currently burn.
(Sidebar: not that carbon is a pollutant but I would worry more about toxic toys sold at dollar stores than that.)

New hiring by the Department of Immigration to process a chronic backlog of passport applications totaled 15 form checkers and 63 mail clerks, according to records. Cabinet withheld the figure while claiming to take extraordinary steps to clear three-month wait times for applications by mail: “We’re doing everything we can.”
Because efficiency.
