The public service is probably shitting their pants at the idea of Pollievre getting elected. He's sharpening his knife for the cutting of bureaucratic fat. So, they'll be running lots of negative ads.
Released Tuesday, new poll numbers from Leger suggest 47% of Canadians want to reduce the size of Canada’s bureaucracy, which has grown 42% since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to power.
Somehow, this government has managed to increase the civil service while making it even lazier and more incompetent. I'll just pause here so we can all reflect on that. How dare we ask them to come in and do their jobs three days a week?
With Canada’s bureaucracy seeing unprecedented growth since 2015, new polling suggests Canadians want to put the bloated public service on a crash diet.
What a self-entitled lack luster Ken doll we have for a Prime Minister whose only true accomplishment is to tromp from one scandal to the next and just when we think he can't look any stupider, he proves us wrong. A plastic doll has more substance than this useless twat.
Trudeau’s time in office saw the public service grow by nearly 110,000 positions, or 42% — while Canada’s population only grew by around 14% across the same time period.

Most of those (71%) who wanted to shrink the public service said they intended to vote Conservative in the next election, while those opting for the status quo were pretty evenly split between supporting the Liberals, New Democrats, Bloc Québécois and Green Party voters.

Of those who wanted to hire more public servants, most supported the NDP.
“You see households making adjustments, and things just aren’t going as far in terms of their paycheques,” he said, adding that increased costs of living are prompting everyday Canadians to pay closer attention to federal spending.

“Their focus is obviously on their households, but when you start hearing about big spending numbers coming out of Ottawa, it doesn’t take much to say, ‘Where’s all that money coming from?'”

Mean but necessary for the greater good of the proletariat.
As long as Bobs and Dougs are safe!

Just kidding. Sounds like your civil service could use a trimming. Probably the best way to do it is give each agency a number. There'll be some favoritism, but they're best positioned to know who the slackers, morons, and clockwatchers are.

Ya, try to get through to CRA! That's time lost usually for nothing. And the ones working from home can't offer you what you're looking for because they're limited on the information they can access. So you then have to hope that you can get a hold of someone who is actually in the office so you can get the information you want. Typical government. If that was a company, they'd go out of business.
