Libranos: Entitled To Their Entitlements

And more.

…and more: The Canada Infrastructure Bank has approved easy-term climate loans that will see taxpayers wait decades to get their money back, its CEO disclosed yesterday. “Our terms are quite flexible,” said Ehren Cory, $600,000-a year CEO and former McKinsey & Company consultant: “Those projects would not happen without us.”

And because it’s Wednesday.

  1. Reminds me of a spokes person for the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation many years ago when confronted during a strike with the question “aren’t taxpayers taxed enough” ??
    Her response was… “oh we aren’t suggesting the taxpayers should pay for our increase…it should come from the government!”

  2. Strangely enough, all the PPC members I know are getting calls and letters from the Confiscated Revenue Agency. Not a hint of a targeted campaign against political opponents, of course.

  3. Ive, that reminds me of the time BC gov’t wanted it’s liquor store employees to work 40 hours/week.

    Then, as now, 35 hours is considered to be a full week. Staff all said “Sure thing- another 5 hours of pay sounds great.”

    Gov’t’s response? “Oh, we weren’t going to PAY you for those extra 5 hours…”

    BCLIquorstores full time employees still work a 35 hour week.

    I told that to my friend in the Ambulance service, and he told me during one of their negotiations someone suggested removing the attendant, as only one person was needed to drive the vehicle…

  4. The CRA employee sounded like a bit of an arsehole. Stealing from the treasury doesn’t punish the Lithping Phag.
    If he and his like-minded minions wanted to punish Juthin they’d stop voting for Liberals like 99% of the pole-smoking, shyte-eating, dog-arse-sniffing snivel servants do.

    1. The caller didn’t sound like a Liberal voter to me. My wife was in the same boat – told by the feds to work from home (where she is way more productive, away from all the yakkers and wanderers), then mandated to get the jibbyjab in order to be allowed to stay on the payroll. We would have been tempted to say “screw you” too. I get where he’s coming from – it seems like a small price to pay if it gets enough people to vote against the little potato, but he was definitely committing fraud. Now, had there been a legit program to get a bunch of $$ and expose government incompetence and waste, that’s another story…

  5. TO be clear, those “easy term climate loans” will never be paid back, why would anyone think they would be?

    1. Well happily, several of those federal employees WERE paid back – they were fired, and everybody else who did this should be too.

      “Oh I’m striking-back at our government!” “Well, do it (and everything else) on your own dime from now on – you’ve had all you’re gettin’ of ours!” “I’M OFFENDED!” ” – Yeah? While you’re at it, you can thank your lucky stars you weren’t formally charged with fraud, it’s what you deserve!”

    2. Well … if Student Loans are cancelled by a sitting President … then why not “climate loans”? Both loans are for a “good cause” … Right? Isn’t society richer with leftist indoctrinated college “students” … and our climate better with new uses for cricket powder?

  6. I continue to question why the £4800 suite became the $6000 suite. Then and now, £4800 is close to $7600. Any ideas?

    1. I said that once to a cop that he works for me, when I was young and stupid.
      He threw a quarter at me and said we’re even, what happened next wasn’t fun.

      1. Because of course the cop treated you that way.

        I have no more respect for those people.

  7. When FILTHY LIBERALS elect FILTHY LIBERALS, (most of your friends did this) you get the Government you deserve.
    Look how many people did nothing when Spendy McBlackface criminally interfered for SNC, then fired the AG. I am paying back my measly $2000 that they “gave” me simply because I got a job a week after applying.
    Why is it that I am being targeted and not these FILTHY LIBERALS? I know why….

  8. The CIB is investing in projects where there know there is a high likelihood the investment will be written off and the CIB (and taxpayers will essentially fund corporate welfare). The developers of the projects will get their projects built for a fraction of the real cost and potentially even get some coverage for product pricing risk. CIB “de-risks” the projects to make them go, when the economics say they should not go ahead. This is mal-investment and it is bad for the economy.
