Yes you’re right! When a worker can’t afford to be sick it’s most important to provide him with that privilege of paid sick leave. I mean forget actually providing an economy where that guy could have a job where he makes a decent living! You schmuck! Who buys this small minded trajectory?!?
A livable wage and reasonable housing expenses would be a nice start.
👌
Lucky for you that you have the privilege to live in Canada… In the top 10 countries that balanced Pandemic control and the economy and limited joblessness; the 3 ARE related. Top 10 out of about 200 countries
This is just for government.Government workers are coming out of these election battles just laughing.
@Mary Bell o tool just released his platform and it’s almost identical to trudopes. Check out the people’s party of Canada platform.
@Maureen Wagg Jagmeet Singh is Justin Trudeaus partner in the Coalition Liberal government a Vote for NDP is a vote for the Liberals and our rights and freedoms gone and the fall of bankrupt Canada into a 3rd world hell scape ..
What’s wrong with “government workers are coming out of these election battles just laughing” ?? That’s about 10 million Canadians!! Do you hate Canadians that much?
@Ghazi Abu-dayyeh So using your logic the cost of “government workers are coming out of these election battles just laughing” ?? the private sector Taxpayers can pay to create a two tier middle class. Brilliant logic.
@George Simon And where did you get the idea that government workers don’t pay taxes just like the private sector and do a lot of similar jobs and more? You seem to be ignorant or lack basic logical skills!! Or simply don’t know anything about Canada!!
Don’t trust the government to raise your children
… this is not how this would work.
@Evan Dugas it wouldn’t work at all.
@Evan Dugas everything the government gets it’s greedy hands into turns to crap, all it would be is another way to funnel taxpayers money into party supporters and contributes hands.
15.9 billion dollar budget deficit and this is what the NDP talk about. 🙁
@John you don’t think our country should get its finances in order! BOT
@Doggod John is one of those lined up with his hand out. He doesn’t give two craps if his freebies cost $900B. It won’t be him that has to pay for it all. Freeloaders and the greedy don’t understand finances, nor do they care that everyone else gets thrown under the bus so they can sit on their behind doing nothing.
🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
@Sam G exactly, well said 👍
150 yrs & 22 PMs = $630 billion in National Debt
5 yrs & 1 JOKE of a PM = $660+ BILLION* in additional National Debt = $1.2++ TRILLION & wants another $700+ BILLION over the next 3
*Can only account for less than $175 BILLION of it so far – the rest? Who the Eff knows
sing & the ndp? Will make the Turd’s SYSTEMIC SPENDING PROBLEM look like a Sunday Picnic
Why doesn’t he just promise everyone a million dollars while he’s at it?
Don’t be silly. This is a costed program. Billionaires can afford it.
@Angela Best That bill is about Aboriginal rights. Care to try again?
COVID-19 excess profit tax that puts an additional 15% tax on large corporate windfall profits during the pandemic. go after large corporations that took publicly-funded COVID-19 wage subsidies and turned around and paid out executive bonuses, executed stock buy-backs or paid shareholder dividends.. thats one of the ways
@TCinthe6 And I want a tesla and a BMW in my drive way.
@Nibor Selrahc lol it is I looked it up too.
Enter Oprah. Everyone gets a year off.
Hey Oprah, when can I get a year off? Send me my cheque please
Thank you
OPRAH is FINISHED, as should 90 percent of government be.
payed sick leave is not a radical idea.
How about a roof over our heads that we can actually afford?
@Derek Currie Who Justin Trudeau?
@Cathy Knott No your the hate %!
@TourCaddie Why soend $12.5 billon on a pipeline and $18 billion on Oil industry subsidizes, $30.5 billon before all the reat of CORPORATE WELFARE! $6.5 billon more than servicing the interest on Canada’s debt! But thats all okay with you?
@TourCaddie South Korea Economy
South Korea shatters national debt taboo to tackle inequality
Old-age poverty and youth unemployment spark crisis fears despite recession rebound
South Korea may have hauled its economy out of a coronavirus-induced recession, but there is little celebration in Seoul’s corridors of power. Instead, focus has shifted to a plight that has become too widespread to ignore: inequality
There are cheap homes, not sure if you’d like the area.
Oh look, a politician making promises! You don’t see that very often (sarcasm)
Question all Candidates …Why have our Universities failed ? ( Aug 30 ) in a period of **TWO MONTHS ** … Israel UNIVERSITY scientists figured out Double vax asymptomatic mutations AND !!! …natural immunity 10 times +++ better than vax …WTF …seriously gentlemen …
Where’s the Human Rights Jagmeet? Decriminalize Mentally I’ll Dude! Cut police services dude nobody needs them. Are you ever going to get it??!! Right now how are you different by way of human rights?
@Private Confidential Its not about science , numbers , rights … …prepare to defend your self …you may have become extreme
@Cats1789 even your cats don’t like you
@Cats1789 shut up
“Vote for me and I’ll make you pay for your own sick leave!” Wow, these campaign promises are just so enticing!
Yep, nothing beats getting bribed with ones own tax dollars.
@MAN OF STAMMER Uh-h is cracking up exactly
💯👍
LMAOOOO that is exactly what I was thinking.
Yeah the guy who supported Trudeau for 6 years. Nope , no way is he getting my vote. If your platform is based on more spending….get lost. we need some one who will be responsible with tax payers money. Some one with a clue. or at least an inkling of a clue.
@Cathy Knott – HON. BOB RAE
Was a
Liberal
Toronto Centre
Ontario!
@harriet snodgrass Why $18 billion in OIL INDUSTRY SUBSIDIES? But that cool?
@Wayne Polk All based on nothing. All debt is held by foreign interests.
So why do you want to put the private sector in deficit? How will this ever going to balance the economy?
@Wayne Polk You really don’t have a clue.
who is going to pay for all this? how about affordable living/rent for everyone? so we can actually save $$$ and use that for hard times.
non of these politicians care, they got our money & run away with it.
Paid sick leave won’t help with expenses when you’re sick?
Anybody see the rest of the clips of the other party leaders on here today? Of course it was Trudeau accusing O’Toole of saying anything to get elected..I almost fell off the Queen of Surrey today reading that on the TV. Is this not a play right out Trudeau’s own playbook every single time he speaks himself???? OMFG gimme a break!! The Liberals count on voter stupidity. That’s also part of their playbook. They are behaving so desperately this time.
Liberals probably will make the same trick as Democrats in the states when all cemeteries vote for them
@Irina Stephens Mail in ballots have already been mailed to the cemeteries.
The illusion of choice
Exactly
Vote for PPC!
Singh is just like Trudeau.!
Trudaue is a Sikh too!
@Bird Brain Being a sikh or not, doesn’t matter. What matters is to not use your religious card to dictate policies and having national interests over the religious interests.
You want to buy votes take it out of your own paycheck.
Why not address the unaffordable housing crisis and ban foreign investors from buying up Canadian homes
@Rucker park legend conservative moment
I repeat. Where does the money come from???? Government has no money, just racked up a lot of debt on our Children and Grandchildren. Our son is working his heart out trying to establish a small IT business. He came to me the other day exhausted and very discouraged. “If this work does pay off and I become financially successful”, he said, “I will be giving it all away to the Government who will in turn give it to those who have not sacrificed like I have”. What could I tell him but “your right” Sad what we have done to our kids.
What percentage of homes are being purchased by non Canadian citizens?
@Dennis Locking it’s called budgeting
@Dennis Locking LMAO@U! How many decades has the DEBT CLOCK been scaring you? And is the alarm broken?
So why would you pay off the debt? How much will it help the economy to have Canada in a surplus?
Oh wow hes gonna use my tax money to buy marxist voters, cool story bro.
Trudeau will be trying to make the rest of this election about guns.
Even his record on guns is abysmal. City gang crime up so all he does is go after legal gun owners to make it look like he’s doing something. Sends out Bill Blair who knows exactly how to really solve the problem but he’s sold his soul to the Liberals.
Never reward poor performance.
Next!
You had them you take care of them. Children are parent’s responsibility do you hear Parents plural. You keep giving single mothers more money and the children suffer more.
Yeah what about a single fathers. There are tons of deadbeat mothers out there. I raised my daughter almost all by myself.
Exactly, I was a single momma worked my butt off to just survive. Never took any handouts. If you keep offering handouts it will be generational, the kids will expect them also. Let’s keep the economy rolling…PPC !
Insanity , Canada’s debt is increasing by over 17,000.000 an hour .
Really dedt bad? If you could put Canada in to surplus would you?
Maybe he can propose planting two billion money trees while he’s at it.
