More taxes, and use that money to create a publicly-owned competitor. If the private sector wants to compete, they’ll either have to be better or cheaper than the public option, or both. Also, re-nationalize the infrastructure. In Canada, taxpayers paid for hydro and telecom construction, then all of that infra was included in the privatization of those sectors. Bell has been profiting for decades by charging people to use the copper that was installed on the public dime.

Ahh yes…… alberta Smith efforts to multitask: lick Red US boots, get glared at by other provinces, and deflect away from their healthcare fiasco/drama.

Break it then privatize it … that’s her plan.

Exactly. Consider it like family X making $220,000 combined income, but paying $44,000 in federal taxes. The remaining $176 is the family’s money to spent (at least before the provincial tax slice). Edit: and to be clear, $440B is federal taxes. Some of the things you mentioned are paid for by provincial or municipal taxes.

Chidi Nwagbo says he made a “stupid” decision paying human smugglers to get him into Canada that left him permanently scarred and in the hands of the very U.S. immigration authorities he was trying to flee. The 57-year-old says he paid $2,000 US in cash to a human smuggling organization in New Jersey to escape the immigration raids sweeping the U.S. He says the smugglers lied to him about the dangers of the journey that almost killed him along the borderlands between New York State and Quebec in February of this year. “If I had known that this would have been the outcome, I don’t think I would have done it,” said Nwagbo in a phone interview with CBC News from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre in Batavia, N.Y.

OK, and who appoints the Board? And who sets government policy and tables a budget that determines what the CMHC can realistically do? This is absolutely the responsibility of the federal government, even if they don’t author these reports.

Im corpo whore and not golfing has stifled my progression but I’ll be damned if I learn to golf.

Is the lesson that conservatives are idiots and scum, and under no circumstances should they be allowed to make decisions of import?

They can make the environment livable for every animal in BC except for humans.

Yep,and people are loving the ai slop. It’s horrible as well… when each instrument is isolated… oof. The future is not looking good.

“It’s almost certain that even after the 2026 deadline passes, many parents in five provinces will be paying more than $10 a day for child care,” Macdonald said.

Any military is inherently an authoritarian organization, which means that it is far more right than left, and that it works constantly to preserve its traditions and hierarchy. It has to resist change that compromises the authority of orders. Otherwise it’s a gang. In order to succeed, military people must be trained to be obedient, and to believe their cause is just, and lawful. The CAF needs to guard against acts and attitudes that are outside of law, while maintaining the necessary ethos. The incidence of “far right” attitudes and activities is low in my opinion but has been dealt with harshly. It ain’t easy being green.

there’s a big strategic hole in this article. The federal govt. spends first, taxes later. So spending isn’t constrained by taxes collected. The debt/deficit argument is ONLY used against social spending. When it comes to pro-capital spending, the argument vanishes. $40B for pipelines? $150B in military spending? $80B in annual subsidies to give big investors risk-free bonds to buy? These are also all deficit spending. Progessives should avoid reinforcing the debt/deficit spending myth, since it’s only used against progressive spending.

Zionist organizations cannot credibly address the full spectrum of hate in Canada, and should not shape how it’s prosecuted In May, the Manitoba government announced through a news release that it, along with the federal government, was partnering with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) to “provide specialized training to Crown attorneys on prosecuting hate crimes.” Antisemitism is a real and pernicious problem in Canada, and prosecutors should be equipped to combat it. However, antisemitism is not the only form hate crimes can take, and CIJA cannot credibly claim expertise on Islamophobia, anti-Indigenous racism, or other manifestations of hate. The organization’s demonstrable anti-Palestinian politics should in fact disqualify it from being considered by both levels of governments as an authority on hate crime.
