This is so dumb.
The government needs to put it big boy pants on and start putting windfall taxes and tell people like the Westons to break up their businesses and sell them. It’s not normal to have one single family have so much power over something that’s so basic like our means to fucking feed ourselves and profit so much from it.
But weirdly, every time Singh or the NDP propose things like a windfall tax of better regulation, the comments are dominated by criticisms.
We can’t just be loud when we criticize. We need to vocally support progressive policies when they come up.
Giving away money instead of fixing the root causes. Not a big fan of this but at least they’re not giving away money and cutting services like Dougie.
or you know…lower the prices where they should be? I am getting so sick of our country being run by six people…
Perfect. Another wealth transfer to the oligarchs.
These types of rebates are some of the least effective uses of government money.
This and tax rebates. They could have literally pumped the money into a crown corp grocery and it would have been more effective.
It’s the same thing with the stupid EV rebates. Pump that money into a subway/train system and you’ll get fewer emissions and less traffic. Maybe get VIA to finally get onto HSR.
