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.

80,000 more bureaucrats but it takes 4hrs to speak to someone.

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.

…and then Trudeau hand-picks his replacement, and almost unanimously backed by his cabinet, who is almost unanimously reassigned cabinet positions with the new guy?

Going forward, or sideways, or maybe backwards, Mark Carney has just given Canadians an advance look at what the ethical standards will be of his government if the Liberals win the April 28 election and it’s not pretty.
That comes with his decision to “reassign” rather than fire two Liberal Party staffers who attempted a disinformation campaign against Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives. These two staffers have proven their party loyalty, & damn the ethics torpedoes.
(YouTube & Liberals BUSTED PLANTING EVIDENCE That VIOLATES Election Laws!)

Carney said on Monday that he wasn’t aware of what had happened and “unreservedly” apologized for it, adding, “I’ve made it absolutely clear to my campaign that this behaviour (getting caught??) or anything approximating it, or in that spirit, is unacceptable and cannot happen again.”
The scheme was revealed by CBC News reporter Kate McKenna, who overheard Liberal party staffers boasting about it at a pub in Ottawa last Friday night and, after confirming its authenticity, filed a story on it. But apparently the two individuals responsible for it not only won’t be fired but won’t be disciplined in any way, just reassigned to another part of the campaign, ‘cuz ethics.

Here’s a weird one, on the topic of scandals. Trudeau has been involved in so many that it’s hard to keep track, and the last handful of years the only way a scandal dropped from the media for the liberals was when another scandal drowned it out.

Carney has been the Prime Minister for weeks…& and several scandalous questions have come up already.

Poilievre has been a politician for more than two decades, & aside from the made up “gotcha” Trudeau trap about Poilievre not receiving further security clearance regarding election interference that benefitted the liberals in the last two (& apparently the current) federal election elections….

….What scandals has Poilievre been involved in?

Yes it is always verboten to allow people to keep their own money.

I’m almost disappointed that neither one of you has mentioned gun control. Anyway, during Mark Carney’s tenure at PM…
1745202181280.jpeg
He’s co-opted much of Poilievre’s policies in a watered down version with Liberal caveats to ensure the Libs would never have to actually enact them, in an effort to appear to have swung the Libs away from the extreme left to just being far left…when he called the election March 23rd.
1745202583410.jpeg
Since then Carney “suspended” his campaign three times to appear to be a statesman dealing with Trump threats (?) avoiding having to answer questions about Brookfield, China, Brookfield & China, his tenure at the Bank of England, his claims about single handedly steering Canada through the ‘08/‘09 financial crisis (where the actual Finance Minister & actually PM did nothing?), etc…but at least we had those two debates in Montreal to hear Poilievre & Carney “debate” each other?

With any luck, Trump doesn’t eat spicy food for the next eight days so he doesn’t end up on the presidential toilet at 3 AM with his cell phone…🤞…but just in case, the impartial CBC will fire some crazy gasoline fueled questions at Karoline Leavitt about the 51st State or something.
