Let me get this straight. Poilievre wants to be Prime Minister. He doesn't want to get his security clearance. He doesn't want to know the truth. By remaining ignorant, he can lie, rage farm & spread disinformation. How serious is this guy, really?

The only time MPs' travel should be paid out of public funds is when they need to go between their own riding & Parliament when on official business.
#Poilievre

So the biggest drain on taxpayers for MP travel is Pierre Poilievre. Taxpayers have paid $250,000.00 for his travel. His riding is in Ottawa area. This common sense? Why should taxpayers be on the hook for Poilievre's campaign travel when the writ hasn't even dropped

Wake up! Blame the real culprits, not the govt.
“Carbon pricing is definitively not to blame for affordability challenges…
the net cost of carbon taxes for households in Ontario in 2023 was negative, around -$300, meaning that most received $300 more in rebates than they paid in carbon taxes.”
There's no version of the Bradford bypass that won't be bad for the environment.

I can see no reason at all as a taxpayer to support private schools.
I pay for public education, as do most others.
If you don't like it & want your child to be schooled privately, you pay for it on your own.
No subsidy.
You want something different, you bear the cost.
@EmmMacfarlane
So if I choose to not avail myself of the public school system & instead send my child to a private facility, I should be on the hook twice? Why should I pay my child’s tuition AND also pay for a spot in the public system that I’m not using? Why should I pay for my child & yours?
