They say they hear our pain ... but do they really care enough to do something about it ?

Olivia says all that but will still support Jagmeet.

Just a few weeks ago Freeland called concerns about economic prosperity "pathetic"

[viorelstan]

We hear that, and we don't care, as always....

[michaellacroix]

Don't worry a few fed payments and some doughnuts you all will forget by next election just like always

"we here that, we need to recognize that.. its not fair" and thats as much recognition as it will get, because it wont get any action.

Government employment expands and the private sector which pays all net taxes contracts. Canada is doomed to poverty.

Keep it up amd someone's going to come out and give their life for canada TRUDEAU NEEDS TO BE OUTED

Spend thrift Olivia Chow tells story about workers claiming life is not affordable - she hears it, but still needs to recognize it knowing it's not fair. Absolutely no word on plans to rectify the situation - chooses to remain ignorant to an admitted problem and reap the benefits of high class living at the people's expense.

Unions are not the solution, continuously seeking raises when need be is not what you want. Eventually it erupts into violence when no one gets their way. The problem is the current financial system of money printing. It creates ebbs and flows, ultimately extracting all value from the dollar.

i had the day off. not because it was labor day, but because its so f-ckin hard to get a job in the country right now !

From $37K to $65K that's the minimum range of profit return every month I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family. ❤️>>>>
