On April 1, Canadian MPs will earn world's second-highest salary for elected officials

thanks justin



OTTAWA — On the same day Canadians will see an increase in the federal carbon tax, MPs will also see a little extra on their pay stubs.



And with that April Fool’s Day pay increase, Canadian parliamentarians will become the second-best paid elected officials in the world after Americans.




Article content
According to numbers provided to the National Post by the office of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Canadian members of Parliament will get their customary pay raise on April 1 — resulting in increases of anywhere between $8,500 and $17,000 this year.

Article content


Right now, members of Parliament earn a base salary of $194,600 per year — but that’s due to rise to $203,100 on April 1.



The prime minister’s salary will see an increase of $17,000 to $406,200.



Eighty per cent of Canadians oppose the automatic April 1 MP pay increase, according to a Leger poll commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

in 2005 these were projections from stats canada



  • Under the scenarios considered, Canada’s population would be between 36.0 and 42.0 millions in 2031 and between 36.0 and 50.0 millions in 2056. In the medium-growth scenario, the population would be 39.0 millions in 2031 and 42.5 millions in 2056.

we are already at 41 mill in 2024

Fools. They actually desire 100 million Canadians.

Do the Swiss need 100 million to have a good quality of life? What of Singapore?

They have other ways to boost the core but they don't wanna pull the trigger. Turn those buildings into apartments, stop waiting for developers.

Thanks Justin
Starting to think its possible because most Canadian subreddits have people miserable and against him and the liberal party. Plus, people in real life can't stand the dude and are living a much worse life today than they did pre-pandemic. I think this is the first time in forever something is going to happen with Canadians revolting because I think the government took for granted how laid back Canadians are, and I legit see some type of revolt happening if things don't improve.

You can make over 100k and not even afford to buy a property. Rent is sky high, food sky high, highest phone bills in the world, highest internet bills in the world, highest car insurance. Another increase in carbon tax in a few days will make gas more expensive. One of the Highest immigration in the world. Let in over 1M people last year. One million! No houses, no doctors, no hospital beds.

Plus, you can't even forget about the poor job market. After I graduated in 2022. It took me 8 months to get an analyst job. It took forever due to companies taking advantage of people and offering low salaries because they know people are desperate. Also, it seems there are less actual job postings and even people who are experienced in a field are having a tough time tbh. Plus, we have people lining up for any type of jobs at a job fair

This idiot government scrapped the international student 20 hr min. And allows that crooked LMIA.

Also allows someone to travel to Canada on a tourist visa and convert to a work permit

Thank God my son qualifies for the English school system, I'd hate to have to send him to French school with this fakkit's kids. :scust:

Quebec is trash and only getting worse with this racist clown Legault as premier.
If I could afford a house in the Toronto suburbs, I'd make the move :hubie:
