    here's something for the middle class to prepare them for what's coming, although I don't think there'll be much pleasure involved.

    That won't be enough, by a long shot.

    Justine will try to catch up to Obongo levels of spending.

    No gov't nannies for millionaires.

    You could also throw in 25k migrants by Christmas, but I won't hold him down for that.

    Uh no, there is no campaign promise called that.

    He promised that families earning more than $200,000 per year would not be eligible for a taxpayer-funded government cash handout. The handout is what Tories had dubbed "Universal Child Care Benefit" and claimed it was for childcare but since it's just a cheque in the mail with no strings attached, it can be spent on anything that suits your fancy from nannies to beer and popcorn to strippers and hookers.

    That promise has not been broken.

    Good job at splitting the hairs ! R=UP

    Says on the campaign, rich people (including himself, specifically) shouldn't get
    the Credit.
    Backdates payment for 2 nannies on the gov't dime immediately after taking office.


    Shows the spending patterns for the future, today is just another example.

    I don't agree. That has nothing to do with the promise made.

    As mentioned in previous topics, our leaders having staff to work around him is par for the course. Are the optics bad? Sure. But it's not out of line.

    It also matches up with this kind of story:

    http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comme ... ers-france


    Canada (383) has sent more people to Paris than Australia (46), the U.K. (96), the U.S. (148), Russia (313) and almost as many as host-country France (396).

    Not a bad turnout for a country that emits just 1.6 per cent of the planet’s greenhouse gases, eh?

    Or maybe it’s not something to admire when you consider how much polluting fossil fuel was burned to fly so many hundreds of people across the ocean to talk about burning less.

    Looking down the list of Canada’s participants in Paris, it’s hard not to conclude we’re vastly over-represented.

    Did we really need to send the deputy environment minister for the Northwest Territories? The climate-change youth ambassador for the Yukon? The leader of the New Brunswick Green Party? The interim leader of the Bloc Quebecois and his press secretary? The “security co-ordinator” for Hydro-Quebec?



    Seriously, how much is THAT going to cost ?


    Oink oink, Liberals are back in town !




    Hope Costco stocks family sized lube. :lol:

    That's hardly splitting hairs. You must be too old to remember what a hair is.

    Including the Nannies, Trudeau has exactly the same number of household staff that Harper did, which is 6. The PM's family gets to pick their staff for whatever needs that particular family feels they have. Trudeau's family chooses to have those staff perform nanny duties.

    None of that has anything to do with cancelling a cash-back program for wealthy families.
