The Trudeau government has increased the size of the federal public service by 37.9%, or almost 100,000 additional employees, since coming to power in 2015, according to a new study by the Montreal Economic Institute.
As of March 31, 2023, the total number of federal employees reached 357,247, the study says, marking the biggest staff increase since 1984.
This is just another example of the Liberal party buying votes with your tax dollars.
When you add up all public service employees at all levels of government federal, provincial, municipal plus the staff of tax payer dependent NGO’s it amounts to a sizable vote bloc.
Add in spouses and other family members and the Liberals have a built in edge against any opponent who raises the spectre of cuts to government bureacracy.
While no group is homogenous I am certain the vast majority of our bureacrats will vote Liberal-left.
