    Sixty million a year could build multiple public housing projects, every year. And on the other side of the balance scale is Charles.

        In fact, if Canada goes with a “President,” it would cost more. Just on the election alone, but then they will also need an enlarged staff for their political works. Also, electing a President has really been working out well elsewhere, like the USA, hasn’t it?

          We could have a President that is ceremonial like the Governor General now. Which means this hole thing would be pointless just to change the name of some position.

      How is it costing us 60 million a year? Majority is Governor General. Well we still need that position it well just be named President of something. So don’t see how it well save any money.

      That’s maybe enough for one 100 unit building a year, depending on where it’s built, which is something but so far from anything substantial.

      Building is fucking expensive right now even if the province uses paramountcy to bypass municipal zoning. Plus, the province sucks ass at building compared to private because its gov’t. That’s not too say I don’t support massive amounts of public housing being built because I do 100%, but gov’t is gov’t.
