The federal government’s most recent cuts to the CIFA will eliminate close to one million hours of inspection, laboratory, and surveillance work every year.

    Pierre would have been better than this I’d say, Pierre wanted to diversify trade from the US by building horizontal pipelines for years. He also decried immigrations long before it became a crisis. Now the people that made us monogamous and worse off per capita are trying to fix the things they did.

    If 1/3 of your tax revenue and all those equalization payments disappear with tariffs and venezelua displacing us you get a much smaller government. So if we want universal healthcare and government support we need to diversify.

        Harper had a reasonable immigration level, and wanted to diversify globally. So I’m just using that as an estimation, Id be curious what makes you think he’s lying when his predecessor did reasonably at those things.

          Harper isn’t Pierre. Also he wasn’t running again last time. Harper had his own set of problems, and I won’t get into them.

            With Harper we had a good standard of living. Rents fell relative to income, food bank usage wasn’t as extreme as it is now despite being in a recession. Our dollar was doing well.

            What measure were we worse in, some climate change metric that doesn’t matter when taken globally? Indigenous are somehow worse off despite tens of billions in new debt going to them.
