Canada

I find it ironic that the federal government sends out carbon tax rebate cheques and the majority of people hate it, but the provincial government sends out random cheques and the majority of people are going to eat it up.

I'd like to preemptively note that both cheques are in fact sourced from taxes. 🤷

I'm taking my bribe and immediately donating it to the NDP.

He does this with every election. Literally tryng to buy votes LOL

Opposition leaders slam idea as a 'stunt' and a 'gimmick'

This could be the subheadline for every Ford government policy announcement and it would be accurate. Stunts, gimmicks, and saying "folks" a lot is the entire chest of tools that he has to cover blatant corporate corruption.

"Ontarians see right thorough these stunts," Stiles said

Oh, if only that were in any way true

He's throwing you a few bucks so that you will ignore the billions of dollars of graft his government is committing.

It's amazing how little people need to be bribed to ignore serious offenses. Recently, TD bank got hit with a massive $3 billion fine for money laundering. They admitted to aiding in laundering $670 million from likely criminal sources. What's more is that bank staff were paid a total of $57,000 in gift cards to not report the large undisclosed payments and transfers. Fraud likely in the billions being ignored by bribes in the ten thousands.

Oh man, that inflation will get ya, back in the day it was only $20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH6kUCqIfD4
