Gee... I sure hope we can continue to pay all the salaries of the gov't workers in Ukriane through this (sarcasm off)
I worked in Ottawa (hint: capitol of Canada) for many, many years. By my back of the serviette (aka napkins in the US) calculations, I estimate that gov't workers there do about 50% of the work of a similar private sector employee for 75% more money, if you include all the time off, pensions, etc.
My wife's cousin was vile Trudeau's nanny, we were friends with his health minister back before we left to the US, we used to go weekly to what is now a senator's home (yes, Canada DOES have senators), and I used to see former PM Chretien wandering around my bldg on 50 OConner when he was in the political wilderness; I also used to work with RCMP quite a bit. I know whereof I speak. My wife, when young, worked for Indian and Northern Affairs; she quit after one summer, saying it was like working with dead people. She said she would them on the bus, with just deadness on their sullen visages.
But we NEEEEEED the govt for all the welfare if provides people whine. Look, mes amis, I can to 10 times the work for 10% of the money, and a million times more human compassion that the govt could ever even THINK of doing. Leave me my money, and I will do it.
I'm opposed to shutdowns in principle. I want the Congress to do their damn job.
But since they refuse... shutdowns are where we are
Come election time everyone should vote "None of the Above". Do not elect ANYONE. If they want a shutdown, the least we poor voters can do is accommodate them.

Shut it down!
They can't do their jobs, we can't do ours.
"They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work."
