One of the Conservative government’s fiscal update items that so unhinged the sensitive, emotional Left-Wing Coup Kook Coalition is that they rightly promised to freeze federal workers’ wages while we get through this economic mess. After years of their hiring and building alliances and handing out club memberships, this was too much for the left.
Globe and Mail decides reports this, this afternoon:
Federal government workers earn 17.3 per cent more on average than people in the private sector who are in similar positions, a Canadian survey showed Tuesday.
The gap widens even further when perks like shorter workweeks are included, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business study said. When pensions and other benefits are added to calculations, the difference widens to 41.7 per cent between the federal public sector and the private sector.
The study comes as many firms in the private sector grapple with cost cuts and the prospect of layoffs while economic conditions deteriorate. The federal government, meantime, has proposed curbs on public sector wages.
The CFIB, which represents small and medium-sized businesses, said the gap makes it tough for private firms to compete for staff….
As I keep saying, the government competes against its own citizens in business—as in the case of the CBC. But this socialist tenet has an effect in myriad other areas of Canadian life, as we can see.
The liberal-left and its big governments constantly hobble capitalism, poke it in its eyes, kick it in its knees, then when capitalism fails occasionally, and gets sick, they claim capitalism doesn’t work, they blame capitalism, and they pretend that government is the answer. It’s like Bizarro World.
