Neighbourhood changes?

What government job pays 60k? Looking at total comp with benefits and pension and there are probably few under 100k. Let the bonfires burn.
Hire a consulting firm to do the work instead of a full time govt employee.

Same work, probably better performance KPIs, and less overall costs. Even if you pay them 80k.

@WestBrantKid is right though. Tons of fraud. Same with subsidized housing. People fake their income to qualify, then complain about the housing they get so they go scream louder and get a better place because they’re louder and the admins just want them the hell out of their office.

My cousin got a much better place for her mom simply by being a pain in the *** and relentlessly going to the office until they just decided to shut her up.
 
You’re not sending tax dollars in most cases, you’re sending obsolete military equipment. What scenario are you thinking of where the small amount of welfare fraud we have is solved with leopard tanks and 7.62 ammunition?

Your talking points come straight out of the right wing rage farm playbook.
"Since February 2022, Canada has committed over $2.4 billion in military assistance to Ukraine."

 
We had awesome luck with outsourcing for the Arrivecan App... LOL
Any responsible project manager would enlist a competent and capable company. The layers of subcontractors that added no value but drove cost of many of those sole-sourced contracts was embarrassing.
 
Tax avoidance through loopholes by the ultra rich cost taxpayers more than welfare handouts to a population who are mostly at the very bottom of their luck. Don’t let that sway you from sensationalist news items spread by media owned by…the ultra rich though.


Do both. Win-win.

I agree we should be providing more letting Russia away with this will be far more expensive.

I doubt that. Ultra rich create the situations where thousands, including them, pay taxes. And there aren’t enough of them in Canada - if every billionaire in Canada paid $10million in personal income tax each year, it would pay about $630m.

The top 1% of all earners in Canada currently pay 21% of all provincial and federal income taxes.

Tax avoidance by rich individuals and corporations have shuttled more than $5 billion out the country every year for the past few years.

Welfare fraud is happening but on a much, much smaller scale.

Both are bad…one is orders of magnitudes worse than the other. One is used to deflect attention from the other.
 
But you're fine with making excuses to give one a pass.

Quote where I said give them a pass? I said there’s an inordinate amount of rage farming at the segment of society that steals less than the ultra-rich. If you’re mad at welfare cheats you should be about 50 times madder at the Uber-rich tax cheats.

A big part of the problem is the tax code. You call it cheating, they call it tax efficient. Tax code should be collapsed from tens of thousands of pages to a page. As a first cut, taxing income where you traded time for money at a much higher rate than dividends where you traded no time for money is insanity and designed to cause wealth inequality.

Even better. The swipe of a pen vs thousands of investigators.

It’s pretty common practice to deflect blame for the real abusers onto easier targets. It’s the welfare cheats not the fat cat greedy bastards or it’s the immigrants not property speculators responsible for the lack of affordable housing.
 
Walking the dog one fine evening not too long ago we happened upon some fine soul jumping up and down upon some groceries having some hissy fit. seems the outreach folks had given him some groceries but sadly the drug unit had just raided his connect before he could trade the food for what he really needed.
The mental health and addiction services could use a rethink IMHO.

Who says I'm not?

And who elected you to determine which crime takes a back seat?
