Public service workers are the ones who deliver the programs that support families and workers across the country, so PM Carney’s plan for “big programs” but fewer workers just doesn’t make sense. Big programs need workers to make them happen.

So the BC govt unloads issues on municipalities but won't give them their fair share of revenue. Pathetic. #bcpoli
"BC, with a population of about 5.7 million, came in fourth, bringing in $478.8 million."
Municipalities were supposed to get a cut of this revenue. It has yet to show up.

Alberta has collected more than $1 billion in cannabis revenue.
That's the most, per capita, of all provinces and territories.
By far.
It's nearly quadruple what Quebec has collected, per person.
