Her United Conservative Party government is poised to run a $6.5 billion deficit this budget year.

In the so called richest province.

The UCP any anyone who voted for them can get fucked.

$250 thousand dollar carpet.

Million dollar sole sourced contracts for studies awarded to partisan allies, who aren't experts.

Hockey game suites in exchange for bloated corruptocare

I could go on and on, but it's tiring.

I'm for the teachers.

Please, go on! Or maybe there's a list somewhere.

I'd also like to know how much it costs to pass a law. How much was it to make it illegal for teachers to use a student's nickname? Or to make it illegal for a student to read 1984 at school (and then reverse it)? How much is it costing for them to discuss fucking with our pensions?

It's so infuriating!

There's this list too:
