I agree. Canada needs to be range banned from Sup Forums

What is this? I don't follow Canada's politics

FAIR

>quebec 10B

seperation fucking when

What's equalization? Some socialist nonsense or what?

The red provinces are the provinces that make no money, in fact, they lose money. So the provinces with $0 have to pay their earnings towards the other provinces to prevent them from collapsing under financial ruin.

isn't that what they already do?

or is the gov trying to hike taxes?/

How is Quebec so poorly mismanaged?

HAHAHAHAHAHA please leaf, tell me this isn't true. Your SJW nightmare eastern states spend too fucking much, so the western states have to PAY for their decadence??? Oh my fucking god

>newfoundland is supporting quebec and ontario
lmao

It's money the federal government gives to the provinces "as needed" to make up for shortfalls in providing public services. If a province is in red, it's getting gibs from the other provinces. As usual, Quebec is the spoiled child of the lot.

This will trigger the quebecers as they're whiny bitches.

Before any anglo jumps in and start meming stupid shit let me please tell you, the mafia run this place with the hells angels.

Period. It's the truth.

We have a similar concept in Germany as well, called Länderfinanzausgleich.

Five states are basically feeding the other 11 who are constantly on the take. It's a pretty messed up system because you are basically creating a financial incentive to fail.

>the most conservative province vs the most liberal province

gee, I wonder how they manage their finances

Basically provinces that make money give some to the federal government, who then redistributes it to the provinces who don't make money. This wouldn't be a bad thing if it was, say, an infrastructure fund or something, you know, to fund the roads/bridges/public services in provinces that have large populations but lack natural resources to capitalize on. Unfortunately there are no limitations on how the money is spent, it's just a cheque to the recieving province. As a result, the provinces that recieve money (Quebec for instance) use it to fund social programs that other provinces don't have. That's why it's frustrating, Eastern Canada is taking tax money from those of us in Western Canada and using it to fund things like low cost daycare, which we don't get out west.

>Ontario has a $300 billion debt
>highest sub-sovereign debt in the world
>even higher than California's, the 5th largest economy in the world
>still have to make equalization payments

Thank Wynne government

Over the history of the program Quebec has been given half a trillion in equalization payments. Mostly from the western provinces.

Trops tard Jean-Pierre.

I'm thinking of visiting your communist shithole to sample your brothels and erotic massage parlors.

Any recommendations, leaf?

>inb4 muh degeneracy

Ontario has greater debt than California

French girls are easy but all have the herps. You have been warned.

Depends what you're into

reading this gets me hard

I'm good with either forming our own country or becoming US states

>As usual, Quebec is the Pepe of the lot.

Reminder that Justin Trudeau's father stopped Quebec from separating.

They would have collapsed and died in large numbers by now if we didn't stop them.

The vote was something like 52/48 in favor of separating, but Trudeau Sr. put his foot down and said it wasn't enough. Democracy is fantastic, isn't it?

Quebec is by far the worst place I've ever been. They have language police that force French on everyone there, despite the fact that half of Quebec is English-speaking. These fucking frogs couldn't even handle an ice storm, IN CANADA

Add "no foreign ownership of property" and I'd move there.

> democracy

The weak should slave-away for the strong.

k

In spite the liberals claims to helping the situation, I suspect that you can still get some abo slave pussy in Hongcouver.

Was literally about to make a post about how it makes perfect sense for Western Canada to just ditch Eastern Canada and to join the US.

GET OUT ANGLOS REEEEEEEE

Maybe they should stop letting retarded socialist crooks run them then.

t. Ontarian

What is it with francophones and being financial parasites?

t. Flanders, dragging along socialist unemployment paradise Wallonia for over half a century

Holy fuck, what's wrong with Berlin?!

The US does the same thing. There's only a handful of states that give more money to the federal government than they receive. The great state of Colorado being one of them. Feelsgoodman

Oddly enough its the opposite here

I have no problem with my finance, I just love giving 50% of my hard working money to fckin niggers and loser working 30h/week asking for the moon

what does Sup Forums think of this movie?

youtube.com/watch?v=tFgewMnZdQc

I couldn't watch more than 30 min

how are you so stupid holy shit it must be bait

If I'm reading it correctly, Berlin is a large contributer. The colour scheme on that map suggests it was produced by socialists (green = gibs, red = tax donkeys).

PEI takes the most per capita

Why did you type out period you queer

nah

The German who posted it literally said that five states support the other eleven. there are 5 greens and 11 orange/reds

its probably because they produce nothing of value

Left wing parties get constantly voted into office which equals lots of government spending. Combine that with the second highest unemployment rate in Germany and lots of people with "migrational background" aka people who live on gibs and you have the city of Berlin.

Plus, due to this system they have zero incentive to ever balance their budget. Every Euro they save is just one Euro less they get from the other states.

It's the other way around. Green state are giving money to the yellow and red ones. Five States are givinh money 11 are recieving, and even that is outdated. Here's the numbers from 2015, now it's 4 and 12.

It was pretty interesting actually. A very surface level, cursory look at how some European nations tackle various issues. All the depth of a reflecting pool, but I still found it fascinating.

Shame that you didn't watch the whole thing, there's a fun twist at the end.

Leafs with it.

Except potatoes and the closest thing to a national novel

Who would've thought the superior North Germans would just end up sucking on the tit of South German Catholics. muh Protestant work ethic in action.

Who will pay now that the oil industry is dead and the BC housing bubble has run out of steam?

I know you are a fucking leaf... but this is just so fucking wrong.

>Moot

>the BC housing bubble has run out of steam?
Says who? It's still chugging along. The chinks don't care that Queen Christy slapped a 15% tax on foreign ownership of houses, they've got money to burn.

So if we nuke Berlin, we would have 4 billion more each year? Really makes you think...

Does that include military spending?

PLEASE TAKE MANITOBA

Sorry, my bad. I'm a product of the western Canadian educational system which is obviously underfunded to pay for Ontario's sex ed for six year olds and Quebec's $15/day child care.

Please nuke us.

>15% tax on foreign ownership

I'm surprised the province hasn't been sued yet as this pretty clearly violates trade treaties in that it discriminates against foreign investment

I think the 15% tax as was rash and retarded; there wasn't even a grandfather clause

just Christie appeasing the masses to get votes

Only if you throw a single chug into each lake in the whole province first. Preferably wearing cement shoes.

Fucking this. You understand this better then half my countrymen.

why arent we separating right now

There's no way for Quebec to separate without the maritime provinces also separating, and neither of those chucklefucks can sustain themselves.

Good riddance?

Yes, and then when we aren't paying for their welfare, they come over and compete for oil jobs, and then bring their money back east.

Maritime bros are okay. They work hard and have traditional values. They value their heritage.

I dunno, I'd feel bad throwing them under the bus for Albertchewan Utopia. (We'd have to ditch BC because they're being invaded by the Chinese.)

I don't believe so. Regardless I'm pretty sure that its not an issue unless the spending gets increased. The main cause of our skyrocketing debt is just too many baby boomers going on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc and congress completely ignoring it because both parties are god damn retarded right now.

I support universal healthcare but only if we have our debt under control ( i mean gone)

>can't find a job in the trades due to oil crash
>was considering getting a CS degree and trying a shot at the software industry
>already know it's competative despite cries of a "tech worker shortage"
>liberal government wants to flood the country with fucking pajeets by expanding the temporary foreign worker program and increasing immigration

Is there any career path left that's not completely fucked?

If they're so hard working, why they take so much gibs? And please no bullshit about the cod fishery.

this.

Cascadia when.

Accounting.


They have no industry and thus no jobs.

>hard working
>no industry
Choose one.

Which one is Quebec again? I thought it was in the West. Actually don't tell me, I don't want to know.

Does anyone actually live on those little islands up north?

>not fucked
>accounting
Accountant here, don't listen to him

American education everyone.

I got an MS in Accounting and while I'm employed with a good job, half of my class were chinks looking to score H1B visas. Although their job performance would most likely suck since I'm about 100% postive they all cheated.

The chart you're quoting lumps in social security and military spending with welfare.

Nothing more enjoyable than milking hardworking anglos and their chingchong masters

LOL triggered

Unless you get lucky out of school you're going to be stuck doing a shitty A/P or A/R job for a couple years.

Dishonest Chinese people? Shut the fuck up.

>red provinces make no money

this is, in fact, not true. Ontario carries most of Canada. The equalisation payments are more complicated as they related to federal mismanagement of provincial mismanagement.

Despite making a disproportionate amount of money, Ontario has far worse debt than fucking California.

fucking ontario liberals..

Nobody asked you Khalid.

>Roberston Davies
>Hugh MacLennan

m8..

we are ready when you are brother

Does nobody live in northern Canada?

>Royce McCutcheon
>Mitchell Royston
See, I can make up names nobody's ever heard of too.

basically yeah, it's like 0.1% of the population

Is it comfy up there?

Seems like a great place to have a vacation house

Fuck you pay me
Canada could give Quebec it's entire budget and you'd still owe us for having to live next to Ontario

ITS ANNEX TIME

Is there any sort of Bavarian separatist movement?

If anyone here actually cares, there is a big group of us currently preparing the first stages of forming the Alberta First Party. We will gain the popular vote and leave Canada, and watch it crumble into a third world country without Alberta's economy supporting the rest of these scum leeches.

>you'll never be stationed in comfy alert in winter
why live?

If by comfy you mean no running water, electricity, indoor plumbing, roads, or anything you would consider civilization.

Its a survivalists wet dream, and an utter shock to someone who thinks camping 2 weeks a year is "roughing it"

Ive been to Scott Lake twice and it is absolutely beautiful. You also lose cell service, internet, and any contact with the outside world roughly 2 flight hours away
