That’s not “now”. It’s somewhat speculative.

A list filled with (besides the ongoing issue with Turtle Island owners) tax money I earned and given to socially destructive policies targetted to special interest groups in order to elevate identity politics and division.

Opinion: Justin Trudeau Has Done a Lot for Canada

Social Policy
Lifting Drinking Water Advisories in Indigenous Communities
Arguably one of the more severe issues concerning Canada’s Indigenous peoples. There are close to 166 drinking water advisories in which these affected Indigenous communities have to boil their water to drink them safely. These communities do not have potable water due to a lack of water treatment infrastructure.
Since 2015, Trudeau’s government has worked alongside Indigenous communities to lift all long-term drinking water advisories. Of the 166 boil water advisories in Canada, approximately 82% have been raised, with the rest either under construction or under consultations to be lifted. By this year or next year, 90% of long-term drinking water advisories in Canada will be lifted.
Supporting LGBTQ Canadians
To address discrimination against LGTBQ Canadians, the federal government has officially announced that it will invest $100 million into local LGBTQ organizations. Most of this funding will go towards community organizations that provide mental health support, shelter, therapy, consulting, and groups that provide safe spaces to LGBTQ Canadians.
Some of this money will also go towards an LGBTQ awareness campaign that will attempt to normalize the existence of LGBTQ people in Canada. Some money will also fund local policy research and data collection on LGBTQ Canadians.
Affordable and Quality National Childcare
Of all the policies that Trudeau’s government, his National Child Care Plan is likely the most significant policy to lament his legacy. Affordability and quality subsidized public daycare will positively affect Canadian life through increased opportunities for women who wish to pursue careers and better child care for children. For more information, I go in-depth about this policy here and here.
The Modern Canada Child Benefit
Trudeau’s government also introduced the modern form of Canada’s universal child benefit, which gives money of up to $7,000 per child under 18 directly to families with children. Before this government, Harper’s child benefit was taxable, offered less money, and only applied to children under the age of 6.
Trudeau’s Canada Child Benefit has been attributed to reducing the number of children in poverty by 782,000 in 2020 compared to 2015.
The list goes on but limited to 1000 characters.
Curious what age group you think you are responding to?
Two of my family work in elderly care/nursing homes. They report to me that the facilities are being run “for profit” in an aggressive manner. The nasty little (and big) corners they cut in the services they provide to their captives (residents AND staff) are sometimes real jaw-droppers.
Meanwhile, if we saw the results of a blood test from the average airline pilot, we probably wouldn’t get on an airplane.
Taxation is the cost of society, and is a given. Responsible taxation is what is at issue with our governments. Federal gov'ts provincial govts and municipal are all at issue these days. Our knee jerk reaction to every little whim from ANYONE other than a working family is appeased with billions of our dollars. Distributed willy-nilly and without proper oversight, tax distribution is feeding a selfish wasteful mindset.
