IN a different thread I pointed out that the Libturds "feed the kids" program worked out to $2.63/day/child. I made an error. I assumed in my calculations that the entire $1 billion would be used to feed the kids. But of course administration costs will eat up a nice chunk. Knowing the Liberals and their cronies that chunk will probably be as high as 50% but I'll be optimistic and go with 25%. That changes the total to $1.98/day/child. And keep in mind, that's ONLY during school days. Weekends, summer holidays, Christmas holidays and other stat holidays, spring break and PA/PD days aren't included. Parents will still have to scrape together enough to feed their kids on those days.
I did some other calculations. Depending on where you live in Canada you are paying, on average, $3-$8+/day JUST on carbon taxes. So the govt's solution to the massive cost of living increase they're responsible for is to take $3-$8 a day away from families and replace it with $2 max/child/day for only half the year.
As a reference, the Canadian taxpayer is paying on average $136/day just for Trudeau's personal groceries.
Let's move onto National Pharmacare. There's only two categories of "national pharmacare" available, contraceptives and diabetic meds. I guess if contraceptives are covered we can stop paying for elective abortions since there's NO fucking excuse now. However it's the diabetes meds that are problematic. There are 52 diabetes meds on the market. Manulife covers 96% of them. Provincial health care plans cover something like 68% of them and up, depending on the province. National Pharmacare will only cover 18 of the 52 diabetes meds on the market, thus limiting availability and options. Not really sure it's worth the cost, especially since both contraceptives and diabetes meds are more comprehensively covered under provincial health plans. Why not cover something that ISN'T covered by provinces? That might be useful.
Next we have national $10/Day Daycare. This one is a beaut. Only around 10% of Canadia families actually qualify for it. Makes me wonder where the all the money is going.
And finally National Dental Care. Another program that not a lot of Canadians actually qualify for, nor are there hordes of dentists lining up to take part.
These are things that Pierre and the Conservatives voted against and for good friggin' reason. They are a WASTE of even more money. Just more "programs" that are designed to steal more mon.... I mean spend more on "administration" costs than they actually spend on the programs.
The kleptocracy marches on.
