Meinung: Die Bürokratie der Bundesregierung erstickt die kanadische Wirtschaft; Seit 2020 ist die Beschäftigung im öffentlichen Dienst dreimal schneller gewachsen als im privaten Bereich. Mittlerweile ist es hier höher als in vielen anderen reichen Ländern

Next article from the Financial Post will be about the inhumanity of laying off all those public servants.
Oh wait, here it is.

Too many MBA welfare programs?
It’s grown that much yet everyone can see that every damn service is declining in performance. Go figure.
Why is there a picture of Carney? The federal public sector has been shrinking the entire time he’s been in charge.
If they’re going to complain about the size of the public sector it should be pointed out that that the Feds could close shop entirely and we’d still be at the top of that list they provided.
That’s usually what countries do when they’re trying to stave off an economic collapse

Maybe they can start by pulling McKinsey, Deloitte, PwC, etc. contracts.
The federal government isn’t even the worst offender… provincial and municipal governments are the absolute worst.
It’s insane the amount of red tape that exists in this country just to do … anything.
So many permits, registrations, official documents, studies, etc. And you have to figure it out all on your own, because half the time, the people enforcing the rules don’t even know what the rules are.
And they’re all different, depending on where you are. It even varies from city to city.
And god forbid you make a mistake. In many cases it’s not even worth the hassle.
Doing business in Canada is a nightmare.
Canada is not a serious place
Guys
Please be for real
The bureaucracy is only following the LAW that PARLIAMENT enacts. Public servants would LOVE to not have to go through 50000000000 layers of approval and engagements but that’s what they are REQUIRED to do.
Do not blame the public service – blame their political masters who tell them what they need to do
Not defending the trend, but increasing the size of military spending is a part of the reason.
Unfortunately, if any politician comes out during the campaign to cut the bureaucracy, the bureaucracy would come out in force to persuade voters to vote for the politician who will not take on the bureaucracy that’s holding Canada back.
Ugh. Journalism like this is fearmongering and destructive.
Uhhh Carney said what this article is saying maybe a year ago? He said the public service grew too fast, was too big, it was a problem, and he was going to fix it through job cuts. Those job cuts have been happening for months. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is so annoying.
Everyone I know who works for the government directly does fuck all. Municipal, provincial, federal employment is equivalent to welfare but we just pay more for it.
We deal with some aspect of the government where I work and it takes 3-4x longer than the multi-billion dollar clients we have. Every email has 20 people CC’d, everything has hour long meetings that is just them asking the same questions over and over, you can’t book anything between 9-11 or 3-5 because no one shows up. 90% of my engineering coworkers left the gov because of that. Idk how anyone stays it would make me wanna kms
Yes. 27.45% of Canadian employees collect publicly funded pay https://share.google/YzNanZwwEgEr4AiXV
Education and healthcare employment have gone way up. Public admin is basically unchanged since 1980.
I trust federal employers way more than private sector billionaires right now. And the economy isn’t suffocating. This sounds like a whiney hit piece sponsored by privatizing conservatives. Thanks Mulroney and Harper for selling off 47% of gas and oil development rights to American companies.
