“The conditions we’ve pushed our people into is causing crime to increase. This must be the federal governments fault and not us - who are by definition closer to peoples lives.”
- Yeah the premiers bear way more of the blame here. Crime is on the rise due to living expenses increasing which is the result of bad housing and healthcare policies by the provinces.
  
  The federal government used to subsidize low income housing and fund coops. They could now, if they were serious about improving housing affordability.
Wait you mean all those increases to police budgets didn't do fuck-all to stop crime? I'm so shocked.

Have our premiers done anything themselves?
- Some of them are single-handedly driving crime, as I understand it. 😉

  No, but they do for almost all social programs as well as housing.
  
  They beg the feds for more tax points, the feds agree, the provinces cut taxes/services and stick their hands out for more. Rince and repeat.
