Did anyone else notice that last week, the same day he announced he was freezing the wages of 45,000 workers in New Brunswick and that we have an $800 million deficit - Shawn Graham also created a brand new $1.5 million program for ducks. That's right, the very same day he announced the province is broke he also signed an agreement with Ducks Unlimited to give them $1.5 million - that apparently we don't even have in our bank account - so that they can make better homes for ducks.
What the hell?! I can understand where Shawn used to be the Chairman of Ducks Unlimited NB he feels like he wants to give them something - but does this guy have a single clue about making decisions? Has he looked up the word "timing" in the dictionary?
Not angry yet? Try this on for size - this week we found out that the new program the Liberal Government created to help people afford to heat their homes in the winter HAS RUN OUT OF MONEY. They had to turn away almost 4,000 people who had applied. But guess what - Shawn only put 0.5 million dollars into that program. Yes you can do the math - ducks get 3 times as much money for their homes as people do under the Shawn Graham Liberals. What a bunch of bananas!

Half the time government creates these programs, they create structural barriers which means the most disadvantaged don't apply - either because they have literacy issues, simply don't hear about the program, or have reasons to suspect the program is some trick or hook for government to get into their business.
ReplyDeleteNow here's one the people did apply and "Sorry, we have no money." And what's the response? Put more money in? Recognize the program was poorly designed? No sir, and why? Because the people these programs say they want to benefit are the powerless.
Government doesn't want to help these people, it wants to be seen helping them. The difference is inherent dishonesty and a lack of caring.
