🚨LCBO revenues down $300 million

💰 that pays for schools, healthcare, infrastructure

Canceling beer store contract early cost $225 million

▶️Cost to Ontarians of privatizing alcohol sales:

$300 M + $225 M = $525 million

As the dust settles on Carney’s first budget, it’s become increasingly clear which Canadians he thinks need to make “sacrifices.”

It's actually insane that the feds are promising to put more than double the amount of money they're putting into childcare, into AI.
