Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's work is mainly in the world Some Canadians have the false impression that they are flying around, attending climate parties, signing a completely asymptomatic COVID multiple times, and making friends with California Governor Gavin Newsom.
After all, that's what Trudeau has done most visibly in the last few weeks. He behaves as if they were the daily routine of his daily checklist.
However, no matter how much these loose and flashy free activities apply to PM's job description, they are very tertiary. They are not work meat or potatoes.
Ask yourself this: what is the federal government actually doing? What is its main mission? And when did you and your family actually engage in federal services?
This last question is interesting. Because we don't interact much with the federal government on a daily basis. Most of the government services that Canadians depend on come from the local government level.
But the federal services we depend on, that Trudeau and his cabinet are in charge of, are now visible to everyone. It is failing in real time.
Let's take a look at the airport blunder. Canadians have the right to expect orderly, prompt and efficient customer service at the airport, both domestic and international. All this was sent to hay in recent months, largely because the government was unable to lift the pandemic restrictions.
Most Canadians admitted that the COVID had receded into the background and the pandemic had ended for all practical purposes, so people courageously returned to the trip. Still, the federal government is unable to handle it and refuses to admit that the pandemic is over.
The Department of Transport is tasked with servicing Canadians, who are failing. Transport Minister Omar Argabra adopted an evolved policy, sticking to outdated pandemic rules like Gollum, rather than quickly resolving huge amounts of unprocessed airports.
(As I was writing this paragraph, I received a reader's email in my inbox that the correspondent wrote: "Last night, I flew from Calgary to Montreal. I went there. I remember the airports of the countries of the Third World .... The rule of Canada led to the status of the Third World. It eerily resembles it. ")
And all over the country. Passport Canada's offices have an unprecedented long lineup. Those looking to renew their passports don't have to camp outside government buildings like the 1997 Sunrise Records, and Backstreet's back tour has just been launched.
The passport application and renewal process is a very basic service provision. But the government can't handle it. They can't or can't figure out the situation.
Basically, there are also problems with rising costs for food, gas, housing and almost everything else. Inflation and living expenses are not traditional service offerings, but should be mentioned along with other federal government failures.
The Bank of Canada's goal of keeping inflation at 1-3% is undoubtedly provided to Canadians to provide a safe and stable economy and lifestyle. It is a federal service. They failed to deliver. Both the bank's and Trudeau's attitude towards spending are deteriorating our economic situation, as evidenced by various experts, including a recent Scotiabank report.
These are important. These are some of the core functions of the federal government. We can respond to all climate change speeches in the world, but we don't have to be able to help those who renew their passports in a reasonable amount of time.
