No way Jose! This government is choking us. Did we need a 40 percent increase in government employees?Excellent story Stick
I agree that the system needs help such as vast investment in doctors, nurses, and other support staff, but it is still a pretty awesome system.
We have to stop voting for politicians that want to always lower taxes. Those days are over, time to admit it and move on. Most people here I am sure have felt the sting of inflation, some are lucky enough to have pay raises from your job to compensate. Why would a reduction in taxes make any sense in today's world? They will say tax reduction by reduction in waste??? OMG, those days are over too.
Do a search on Canadian disposable income vs time. You will see that disposable income is increasing year after year with a big exception in 2021 and 2022 due to inflation. However, taxation rates have gone down. We pay less taxes now per dollar earned than our fathers did. (but complain more). Our forebears paid for the building of this country, and we can't even pay enough $ for our hospitals to stay in good shape, but we have 3+ large screen TVs in the house and the latest greatest iPhone. Our priorities have shifted.
We need investment in our societal infrastructure, talk to your MPP and support the ones who get it.
Time to get rid of this gong show and fund healthcare but cutting waste
