They say they’re doing this to cut down on lazy, overpaid bureaucrats, but what really happens on the ground is the firing of a wildfire response worker, or a public health analyst tracking disease outbreaks in the North, or someone who processes clean water permits for rural Canadians. The list goes on. These people are not champagne drinkers in cubicles. They’re essential workers who safeguard our collective well-being.
This is where the cuts will actually come from. It’s insidious because you don’t notice that they’re missing until an actual disaster eventually happens as a result, by which point it’s too late to do anything about it.

Well it needed to be done, our public sector growth is put of control. If Carney is a Paul Martin liberal (blue grit) then he’ll have to show it.
44.7% of our expenses come from it too. Per person we are paying 24,928$ just for the public sector. So yeah it’s a problem. Public servants will complain, but us private sector bums don’t have the kind if job security they do. I was laid off in January and only found a job recently after years at my job.
So cut away. And ignore the noise; the public sector is horribly bloated. Government services have only gotten worse, not better.

The public sector will start to see the impacts that the private sector has been seeing. Companies are completely gutting the admin/clerical roles and middle managers as they eagerly rush in AI tools.
In the last year and a half we have reduced 30% of our labour force while growing 20% YOY, and early signs are that we will be down to 55% of staff levels by the end of the year compared to two years ago.
The next 5-10 years will be about drastically reducing the support level tier with departments like CRA that will be particularly hit hard as AI tools are adopted.

[47.5% of our nominal GDP comes from the public sector. ](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/241122/dq241122c-eng.htm)
