UCP's selective socialism is open for business! Will you be partaking?

For those of you who are eligible, are you signing up for your "free" money?

[vengie]

Wife was on mat leave in 2021 making us eligible.

Also, I assume this is just political grandstanding for the upcoming election.

Man this is dumb policy.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Add to the problem by continuing the practice that helped create the problem.

Yup. Basically anyone on government tits already got this automatically. This phone/online application process is for people who are not already in those programs (may be for good reason) to get extra money.

There is going to be tons of fraud.

At least Ralph bucks is fair.

Nor I, but i'm still pissed about it. Where's my fuckin money? Do I need to go steal some gubment copper?

[DonJuan]

LOL leave it to the UCP to do the most light headed ultra LIB thing.

And yea I'm gonna apply

:edit:
It appears I'm not eligible; fraoud it is.

From a monetary perspective it's fine. Alberta gov't is not the cause of inflation and this province is benefitting enormously from high commodity prices.

When the Liberals decide to stop insane fiscal policy is when the BoC will stop raising interest rates.

Pumping up the Heritage Fund for when commodity prices are ridiculously low wouldn't be the dumbest thing in the world...

Gimme my middle class kid having money

[killramos]

I thought the middle class made too much money to qualify for this?

My only takeaway from this is I need to find a way to hide more income.

Hiding income while being a PSB is the way.

terrible idea. Gov't should not be a private equity firm or a hedge fund.
