Mike's Daily Comment
Most Canadians think bridges, roads, sewers etc. when it comes to infrastructure spending but that misses all the political good parts of the story…well, not for taxpayers.
Many don’t care that the carbon tax isn’t revenue neutral. Mike talks about why you will soon. Michael and Ozzie talk about Amazon and the impact on Vancouver real estate. And the size of the federal government will shock you. It should, after all you’re paying for it.
Why, when it comes to government taxes and debt do I think of the old expression “there’s never only one cockroach.” Maybe that’s because there’s never only one level of government that wants our money.
Why is it that when it comes to government services we don’t ask how much. In Vancouver the good news is that a transit strike has been averted but few seem to care where the money’s going to come from.

Political Interference in Infrastructure

For all the political promises on infrastructure spending – not much happened when it comes to bridges or roads but we do have a taxpayer funded improved 4th hole at the Yarmouth golf course and a skating oval in Quebec City.
