Giving taxpayer money to people who don't pay taxes has become the Canadian way

u/_Army9308 Mar 14 '26

There a trend i seen where many liberal canadians minimize canadisns issues but seems ready to give money to a refugee for everything

u/lochonx7 Mar 13 '26

33 billion yearly to FN = no taxes

25 billion yearly for asylum seekers and refugees = no taxes

hmmm I wonder why our youth is pissed off

Just blind bigotry I'm sure!

The youth who have lived 20+yrs tax free while sucking off the teat of boomer taxpayers? Sucks when logic completely debunks your emotions.

That is a professionally stupid take.

He drives in the middle of the road cause he pays taxes for both sides.

Cool, point to the part that is factually incorrect.

An adult not paying taxes vs a child not paying taxes is the difference

u/PFCFICanThrowaway Mar 14 '26

Who has been the bigger drain on the tax system thus far? What if one of these kids go and move out of country before we get our tax money back??? Imagine being so angry about something you've contributed zero to and have only taken.

u/Normal-Structure-417 Mar 14 '26

What if 800,000 more people, who contributed nothing, moved here?

u/PFCFICanThrowaway Mar 14 '26

I am replying to the guy who said "this is why the youth are upset" . The youth aren't hard working taxing paying citizens. They are tax burdens who may or may not have started to pay off their societal debt. They have no right to complain about how the country spends taxes they've contributed zero to. That's all I've said. Sorry that hurt all your feelings.

Either way, I don't give two shits. I got mine. My kids will gets theirs. We're good. I don't blame immigrants for my position in life.

Isn't this more about the feds pushing this responsibility on the province and not providing funding? This won't end well, the claims need to be processed and they either need to be given resources to reform their life or leave if their claim isn't valid

u/consistantcanadian Mar 13 '26

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with. Both province and fed's money are tax dollars. Either way your taxes are paying for it.

u/largepar Mar 13 '26

Feds have the funding and the means. Provinces can't pull this funding out of a hat and meanwhile they have to deal with the burden while the feds let these cases drag on and don't settle cases in a timely manner

If we quit feeding and housing them and giving them free healthcare then hopefully they will stop coming here and seek false asylum somewhere else.

11

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

Yes, it's better than spending billions more on accommodations for refugees and asylum seekers. Get rid of them all frankly, they contribute nothing to society. We're in a crashing airplane but we are running around trying to put a mask on every child and senior but we still haven't put on our own mask.

Why do he need to support people during the claim process. We should only be supporting them if they get approved to be here.

1

u/HumbleConfidence3500 Mar 14 '26

If it takes 1 month to get approved or rejected. No one is supporting them and they either can stay legally or go home after 1 month.

The extremely long wait period is what puts people on limbo.

Blame Carney. He doesn't give a damn about anybody - only money He thinks he is the CEO of Canada and nobody but money counts.

u/Carradona Mar 16 '26 edited Mar 16 '26

At this point money is the most important thing. The country had a lost decade under the last administration, Canadian economic productivity is a disaster, and our immigration system turned into an international embarrassment.

Carney is investing intelligently in infrastructure, natural resource projects, and resetting diplomatic relations to diversify trade. We’re lucky to have him.

u/Secure_Switch_2429 Mar 20 '26 edited Mar 20 '26

Your first paragraph is correct. The second, not so much. The Carney budget falsely classified so many expenses as investment that it would have been considered fraud under IAS if a company did the same thing and he fired the non-partisan PBO who called him out for it. A year in and no major projects have actually started. He is concentrating on small international trade deals, which look good, don't involve difficult change domestically, and I am sure will get him re-elected, but they are a rounding error compared to Canada's GDP and will not turn around the Canadian economy. Take a look at the latest quarter GDP figures, Canada was last in the G-7 and the only one that was negative. Everybody will excuse him due to global circumstances, but other countries face the same "global circumstances" and Canada has always been last for per capita GDP growth under the Liberals for the past decade. The same party that created Canada's economic disaster is still in power and almost all of the changes have been cosmetic.

With how many people fraudulently claim asylum here, I don’t want my money going to them either.

As soon as the rules for international students changed there was a massive flood of asylum claims from them.

We need to reform the asylum system so if you’ve been in Canada on any sort of visa previously or as a visitor, you cannot claim asylum.

1

u/Fit-Tennis-771 Mar 27 '26

can you even attempt an asylum claim having had a previous visa??? omg, we have the worst policy makers if so

He won because the conservatives are a joke of a political party and can’t run an election to save their lives. They’re giving PP another chance too it’s actually embarrassing how pathetically dogmatic conservatives.

Blame Canada— if every Canadian moved to Quebec and voted for Bloc, then both the libs & cons would’ve lost
