πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Justin Trudeau Has Hired 100K Federal Bureaucrats

Under his rule, the number of federal employees has grown by 40%.

Their salaries cost Canadian taxpayers $8.2B a year.

But it gets worse... much much worse.

🧡

Additional annual costs of Trudeau's administrative army:

- CPP and EI contributions: $539M πŸ’°
- Operational Costs: $720M 🏒
- 15 Year Public Pension: $61B

Add it all together, and the taxpayer price tag exceeds $250 billion over 20 years 😳

Again, the costs of Trudeau's bureaucracy get worse.

The figures above only account for his *NEW* hires.

Once you account for Canada's entire federal workforce (360,000), taxpayers are on the hook for nearly $1 TRILLION πŸ’Έ

This is just employment costs. Insane. 🀯

Lets compare the number of U.S. and Canadian federal bureaucrats:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ America: 1.8 Million
πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canada: 3.1 Million (adjusted for population difference)

While America's military personnel makes up a large portion of their federal workforce, Canada's is mostly administrative.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Trudeau's bureaucracy is an economic tumour.

Every dollar funnelled into this unproductive entity is a dollar not spent on meaningful solutions to Canada’s pressing issues.

Reducing the federal workforce isn’t about heartless cuts; it’s about the survival of Canada.
