If that is true, then why are the premiers constantly demanding more funding from the federal government for health care? Health care is clearly outlined in the Constitution as a provincial responsibility. More and more money simply entrenches the status quo deeper and deeper. The provinces need to stop taking federal money, especially given all the strings attached. Not taking federal money would actually free them up to finally copy best practices from around the world and implement solutions we are all looking for. They should pay for it and they should fix it. They need to stop passing the buck.Cold cash and the Governor General’s ice cubes, Christopher Nardi, Dec.
Were they premium Arctic ice cubes? Were they used for a bath and the inherent therapeutic qualities? Continually consuming ice, freezer frost or iced drinks can indicate an underlying condition that needs medical attention and damage teeth; will taxpayers also be on the hook for dental care? Was the delegation suffering from pagophagia, the medical term for compulsively consuming ice or iced...

Then all of the shock troops will come and take everything by force. Why do you think they want a Central Bank Digital Currency?
If only we could
Agree…tired of covering their lavish expenses, while Canadians struggle to afford necessities?
Show me your work… this government is a farce.
Better idea: let's reduce the taxes we pay until government produces results.
Dollar is sinking faster then me flushing the toilet . Never would of happened under Harper
We have the right to know the results of carbon tax until now.
Yes! Why are we paying so much for nothing.
This... This is what we need. Much less government and much less of our money being wasted by donkeys in Ottawa. TrudeauBrokeCanada TrudeauMustGo
It is what elections are supposed to be about, the downside is that people forget anything up to about 3 months before an election. Canadians are so groomed towards social programs, they would not survive without handouts. TrudeauIsTheNewHitler
A TAX REVOLT is always a good idea when you have a government that’s not looking out for your interests! At the very least it’s gonna bring it to their attention in a very large way!
UweTeufel Of course we should demand results! How silly! You would demand results from anyone else you paid for a service…
Great idea, but how?
Tax payers are too busy working for slime balls like the regulating bodies of people this newspaper writes about daily.
OMG, WHAT CORRUPT Government
Would it be possible?
Canada: Where communist style dairy cartels dictate supply+price. Where $34000 of tax $$ is paid/yr for health coverage for family of 4 but care is delayed, denied + alternatives are illegal Where fed gov't can't deliver anything useful but costs more each yr What a joke

I like this idea.
Provincial premiers. Assuming we are all ignorant is how you roll.
That's not how it works
Hilarious anti democracy propaganda!! 🤣 Provincial Conservatives want our tax $$$ with no accountability. Right now they are hoarding our healthcare $$$ while our children suffer.
Damn right , Canadian political leaders are ALL embarrassing. You have the richest country on earth and the people living in the streets , underfunded education , underfunded healthcare , underfunded military , underfunded children , this is what failure looks like!
Most all governments are nortorious for wasting money and incompetence, the Trudeau gang is no exception.
There are countries with no personal income tax.
Same should be said about provincial taxes for Ontario.
Foreign policy spending is crazy while every family is struggling unless they got their million dollar inheritance
Now we are talking!
On the bottom side of flat earth we have no taxes or roads can you believe it?
And stop complying. Politicians are yours and our hired employees...both countries need to drain the swamp.
'Maybe'?
🙄 yeah, it's called an election.
I did demand results from Stephen Harper (need more of his barbaric practices sneak phone lines?) but he wasn't listening to me. After that i have given up on politicians listening. Instead I rant on Twitter (until it collapses under the weight of mis-management of new manager)
Pay your taxes No choice about that unless you want to be fined heavily or go to jail for lengthy periods normally given to violent offenders
That's what elections are supposed to be about.
How? The over lords will take your bank account. How many ethic breaches is Trudeau guilty of? 3, and his ministers? They hold themselves accountable for nothing. There seems to be no way us minions can hold government accountable for.
Pretty hard to refuse money from Ottawa when the provinces are already transferring billions to them. Stop the transfers first, then tell Trudeau where to go with his Healthcare support.
OH, you mean like what JustinTrudeau is asking for from the Provinces when it comes to increasing Health Care transfers?
How about we hold them accountable for all the insider trading they do.
