  • So the federal government does nothing? They don’t enact any policies? They don’t give money to provinces for specific programs? Why do we even have a federal government? What do they even do?

    /s

    Where do you think provincial governments get money from? It’s not just provincial taxes, but also federal taxes with wealth redistribution. Why do you think Alberta wants to separate so bad?

    The federal governments enacts policies that have to be followed by the provinces. They provide funding for specific programs. Whether it’s healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. If they decide to cut funding for these things to instead use it as subsidies to help Canadian businesses “stay afloat” (read : earn a little less profits) they can. And the provinces will just have less money to fund everything else.







  • Liberals: “No. We’re going to cut funding for healthcare, schools, infrastructure and environmental protection and give all the taxpayer money to wealthy corporations so they can survive in these difficult times.”

    EDIT: Downvote me all you want. But I’m pretty certain there’s going to be austerity measures in place soon to save on government spending, and all that extra cash is going to go into subsidies for companies. And the working class will lose jobs and get jack shit.
