The LPC could obliterate poverty, create federal policies that cut the crime rate to zero and cure cancer, and fucks like you would still be screaming and crying about something.

You mean the government was making money from it?it was a money pit until it was sold off
Yes, but they funded it with North Sea oil royalties.
The FEDERAL gov't does NOT charge royalties on oil extraction. Just normal federal corporate taxes like any other business. Except that the foreign owned multi-national oil companies lobbiy for, and get massive subsidies and tax breaks.
I hope Carney is not borrowing to fund this lending fund.
AI Overview
Yes, the Canadian federal government receives oil and gas royalties, though they are primarily collected from production on "frontier lands" (territorial sea, continental shelf, and northern territories). While provinces collect most royalties, federal royalties totaled approximately 295 million CAD in 2021.
AI Overview
Canadian governments (federal, provincial, and municipal) received roughly $112 billion in revenue from the oil and gas sector in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, largely driven by high commodity prices. Total revenues from 2000 to 2021 reached $578.7 billion, averaging around $26 billion annually. Royalties and taxes are heavily concentrated in provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Government has not had a surplus since Steven Harper was Prime ministerI hope Carney is not borrowing to fund this lending fund.
$25 B * 3.5% = $ 875 MM in incremental interest cost per yearAI Overview
As of late April 2026, the 10-year Government of Canada bond yield is hovering around 3.45% to 3.51%
AI Overview
The federal government of Canada's interest expenses on debt are projected to reach $53.8 billion in 2024/25, exceeding $1 billion per week. These debt-servicing costs are rising due to increased borrowing, surpassing major expenditures like the Canada Health Transfer. Interest rates for government accounts are based on the Bank of Canada discount rate.
It's not borrowing. It's investing.I hope Carney is not borrowing to fund this lending fund.
One week he's telling Canadians he's making life more affordable, then next week he's asking you for money for investments.
Come on now.
We have no fucking money!!!!!Both can happen at the same time. Some affordability issues like housing and expensive air travel is due to chronic underfunding on infrastructure, an issue that our governments in the 90s and 2000s kicked down the road for future generations to deal with, due to budget issues at the time. Well, we are in the future. We are dealing with it. Something like a soverign wealth fund could help in garnering more private investments towards these projects. There is no easy way out unfortunately. It's just a lot of time, money, and sacrifices.
Reminds me of a statement I made years ago during Trump's first term in office. If Trump were to find a cure for cancer people would start to support cancer.The LPC could obliterate poverty, create federal policies that cut the crime rate to zero and cure cancer, and fucks like you would still be screaming and crying about something.

The difference is, Trump is a cancer.Reminds me of a statement I made years ago during Trump's first term in office. If Trump were to find a cure for cancer people would start to support cancer.
We don't have money now because a ton of government spending now is based around a world that doesn't exist anymore, where 5% annual GDP growth and production efficiencies grew by leaps and bounds.We have no fucking money!!!!!
that’s why it’s all underfunded. All we are doing now is subsidizing big corps.
call it how you want, we don’t have it.We don't have money now because a ton of government spending now is based around a world that doesn't exist anymore, where 5% annual GDP growth and production efficiencies grew by leaps and bounds.
