Government is never happy they always want more money, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer


On a lighter note

PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE

I had to stop at Home Depot for some plumbing supplies so my horn could have a break

The government wants more money because we want more stuff. We want less traffic, better infrastructure, more doctors, better health care, more immigration services, more police, better education system... We all want something that the government is responsible for providing. Someone has to pay for it all. Our System isn't perfect, but it's not terrible either. There are a lot of terrible systems in the world. Just ask someone who has come from a communist state, or a dictatorship,. I for one am quite happy to pay my taxes and do my part. The result is a great education and health system that I had the fortune of growing up in and raising my kids in. As well as safe place for my family to live. To me, it is a small price to pay for these comforts that so many people in the world do not have.

+1 we got it pretty good here. Definitely has to be amongst the top rated countries IMO. And don't kid yourself I'm sure they would tax the poor and starving in third world countries if they had anything....
Looks like Putin is trying to give us a run though lol..... Such a swell guy

Yup. There are some terrible politicians out there. Just like how there are terrible Canadians out there. However, you can't judge our entire citizenship on A few bad apples. :-)

Who ever grew up wanting to be a politician? What a hideous, thankless job. I'm just glad there are people wanting to do the job. Anyone care to step up and give it a try?

I dunno, but the current crew isn't inspiring a whole lot of confidence in me for the future of our fine land. Aside from the misspending of our taxes they don't seem to get a lot done. Prorogue, take some time off. The few times I've taken a minute or two to watch question period in Parliament have amazed me. A bunch of grown ups acting like a kindergarten class. And I'm not on any one party's case, once they get to Ottawa, most of them (even those with the noblest intentions) get turned after a few months. Yes we are well off in Canada and it's great that we have the right to criticize the folks running the show. Hopefully it stays that way and more of them start to listen to their constituents.

My post wasn't intended to judge any citizen as bad or say that the politician is terrible, I wouldn't know any of that actually!
It was to point to where some of the tax dollars go. That's all.
