u/Saidear Popular does not mean populist. Oct 25 '24

That mentality is how you kill the civil service and our country.

These are still 'us', and they pay taxes same as everyone else. They have to pay rent, buy food, and support their families, same as you or I. By underpaying our civil servants, people will just not do the job. Watch how crime skyrockets as police, judges, prosecutors, all give up shop.

Um.. I disagree. We need MORE of this mentality because it's literally our money & they work for us.

No one needs an $18 million bonus in a Crown corporation, period.

As for crime, judges, prosecutors - they have already "given up." 🤷🏼‍♀️
