Along with the 16 billion lawsuit to natives (and others, which make up about 1/4 of the deficit currently) they have in the budget 6 Billion (with a B) guaranteed loans to natives for "native projects" where the government will cover 6 billion of failed economic projects to lenders for natives.
They will only be giving about 500 million to a program to help black entrepreneurs which is absolutely not just free money for projects but training and consulting etc. They will be spending less than that to help with auto thefts because the insurance board told them thefts are down from last year. They will be spending some amount of money to put Terry Fox on the 5$ bill, they will be using the interest on frozen Russian assets to pay Ukraine as well as spend less than a hundred million to collect all the "military style" firearms citizens may have to give to Ukraine.
They will also invest heavily into AI to remove all of those public service jobs like working in disability, social assistance, old age and pensions, EI etc so you can only deal with a computer VS a person, because ArriveCan worked out amazing. They did invest multiple hundreds of millions into additional "border control" to help with "trafficking" issues.
They point out Canada has G7 Presidency next year which is deeply ultra embarrassing.
They actually have nothing in that budget to legitimately help with affordability issues except the GST holiday. They didn't give money to mental health or health care. They mainly said they will cut down on the trafficking of fentanyl with less money that they'll throw in the trash for "native projects". Of which again, 16 billion with a b already paid out with a question mark in the distribution column because where the fuck did it actually go?
The deficit is pretty good headline fodder but a better one would be asking why we allowed these groups to add a major deficit and are those groups truly about Canadian prosperity? It looks like they grabbed a chunk of cash from an already dieing country and will never contribute to the society while we forever pay for them. If you have to use a food bank next year, it's Trudeau in a feather headdress you should picture in your mind. You might not be able to be safe in your city, you may not be able to find a job, afford rent or food but WE RIGHTED THE HISTORICAL WRONGS. What kind of shit ass lawyers and piece of garbage court system do we have that a settlement is 16x what Alex Jones has to pay for "historical wrongs" which may or may not relate to unexplored "mass graves". They had an actual video of Alex saying his bullshit, this is just "claims".
Until Trudeau is out of office, rip the country off for everything it has. Unless you work at one of the top companies or are remotely important, nothing you do can equal 16 billion with a b paid out nor the 6 billion thrown in the trash for native funsies.
I really think that number will trigger even more strikes next year.
