“Will a Conservative government cut programs like the dental care program?” Poilievre’s response is something like: - if people wanted these programs they’d vote for the NDP in the next election. - These programs don’t actually exist. - The numbers of people using those programs are derived from government... propaganda. She responds to the final point: “Is that just because you say so? What evidence or data do you have that we cannot trust those numbers?” (Great question btw) Poilievre: “Let’s get the actual facts before Canadians. And let’s make judgements based on the reality rather than on government propaganda.” If you’re one of these (fake, apparently) people enjoying these government programs, get it while you can.show more

"These programs don’t actually exist." "If you’re one of these (fake, apparently) people enjoying these government programs, get it while you can." My hubby and I are registered in the federal government's dental care plan via Sun Life and have already had appointments. We aren't fakes and Poilievre is a liar.

I believe you. These are just his talking points when it comes to answering this question. He’ll insist nobody uses these programs right up until the point he cancels them if he has to.

The non-existent program paid for my hsb's dental exam, cleaning and x-rays this morning as it did in July for me.

Canadians shouldn’t be at the point where they have to be dependent on government to have relatively normal lives. That dependency fosters a toxic relationship.

Poilievre is unhinged, plain and simple. I want to thank this reporter for sticking to her guns..

I just got off the phone from a Conservative voter. They watched @PierrePoilievre response and was enraged. They have used the dental benefits and his snarky response solidified them to #NeverVoteConservative !

If she was a real journo she’d have #’s & sources to back them up. Like from Dental orgs showing # of clients from said program. Lazy journalism-another talking head looking to score points. I sure hope they cut programs.Bring down the cost of living so we can pay for ourselves.

Are you convinced, based on his answers, that he’s going to cut those programs?

.Russ Vought explains how the Democrat Shutdown allows the Trump Admin to cut government bloat: "Congress is saying, 'We're not going to fund these programs by not passing the Republican CR' — so if there's no funding for these programs, then what would you have us do? Is it not to make an assumption that you don't intend to fund these in the future?"

The amount of abuse in these programs is astonishing to say the least. If there was not so much abuse, people in genuine crisis situations could get taken care of during times like this. Treating government assistance like a long-term lifestyle when you are capable of work is unacceptable.

You don't get to say you "trust the science" while firing the scientists. While the Liberal government pours $742 million on a gun grab with no public safety benefit, they're shutting down agricultural research stations, like the one in Lacombe, that help feed Canadians. Why are they so hellbent on wasting money on programs that won't work, and killing the programs that do?

They're back... Well It was nice while it lasted! Seems like the government is back funding certain programs again... At least, from a positive perspective, we now all know pretty conclusively that a government shutdown/defunding will stop a lot of these unlawful programs!

Governors and other authorities look the other way on purpose, because if you can employ people in these simple jobs and pay money to have your kids carry the grocery upstairs. This is the part that will get you angry. Once these people are put on to these jobs programs, they are also eligible to be unionized, and so we have unions now get, in California and in New York, for these employees

Weingarten: It’s really only the Congress that can abolish the Department of Education. So, what the president can do is make government basically ineffective—not work—by a thousand cuts. And that’s what they’re doing. So, if you essentially fire the entire staff, or 80% of the staff, of Social Security, and somebody needs to get a Social Security card, they’re not going to be able to get it in a timely way. If you fire everybody who’s doing hurricane watch, you’re not going to have hurricane watch… The same is true in terms of education. If you fire everybody, or you make it unfeasible for it to work, then none of the laws that are supposed to be effectuated by the department will work. So, if Title I is supposed to go to a high school in Staten Island, and they’re supposed to get $5 million that goes there, and all of a sudden it doesn’t, and they don’t have the money, then that means the programs go away. That means the reading programs, the computer programs, the after-school programs—all the programs that are funded by Title I, and every schoolteacher in America understands what that means—they go away. The same goes for the programs for kids with disabilities under IDEA. If a school system, or a school—because these things go directly to schools—if the funding goes away, a kid doesn’t get physical therapy or occupational therapy

Meiselas: The DOGE team cut funding for screwworm detection, screwworm prevention. The same way they cut funding for Ebola detection, Ebola prevention. The same way they cut it for hantavirus protection. Everything that DOGE cut, these programs, which they may sound boring, they may sound like, "Why would we be investing a lot of money in these?" Because that's what government does in order to protect from these types of things, yet DOGE gutted all of these programs.
