YUKON IS BANKRUPT WE ARE NOW IN FINANCIAL FREE FALL
NO BIG SUPRISE WERE OUT OF MONEY !
The Yukon is broke, and the LARGER THAN LIFE is on the table for negotiation
We watched it unfold, warnings raised and ignored, budgets stretched until they snapped, and now the territory’s bank account sits empty. What was promised to protect services and livelihoods has been quietly traded away, and taxpayers have been treated like walking ATMs while campaign pledges were abandoned without explanation.
The Yukon Party came to power promising one thing and delivering another. Their handling of federal initiatives, like the contentious gun buy‑back program they campaigned to opt out of, exposed a widening gap between territorial needs and political posturing. At the same time our resource industries, including accepting Nuclear waste and softwood lumber, have become political footballs rather than pillars of stable local employment. Decisions that should have strengthened our economy instead appear to have been used for leverage.
Meanwhile, nearly 3,000 newcomers from other provinces, largely Ontario and Quebec, changed the makeup of our communities and, critically, the vote. Those shifts weren’t met with transparent engagement; they were treated as an opportunity. When the previous Liberal government fell and the Yukon Party consolidated power, many of us suspected mismanagement. Now, with the bank empty and services under strain, that suspicion has hardened into a bitter question: was this incompetence, or was it deliberate?
The question that is not in the spotlight is where are the First Nations? when the federal government negotiator puts First Nations on a pay no mind list don't complain. There are people that informed you and you ignored the warnings.
As we are writing this article there is a large group of Quebec hunter's / guides moving to Yukon to capitalize on our resources that will be needed for our future generations.
Regardless of intent, the result is the same. Families face uncertainty, local businesses shoulder greater risk, and the way of life that defines the territory has been compromised. We deserve more than vague excuses and shifting blame. We need a full accounting of how decisions were made and funds spent, an independent audit that lays out a clear timeline, and honest answers about the territory’s relationship with federal programs and how those choices affect everyday Yukoners.
We need protections for our industries and workers, not political gamesmanship. We need elected officials who put long‑term stability ahead of short‑term advantage. The people who pay the bills deserve accountability and a concrete plan to repair the damage. Stop bringing people to Yukon, our infrastructure can't handle the migration. That would solve 90% of the problems, and in the Yukon, the Federal and Territorial Government are way too big for a population of 48,000. In the Yukon the government is not suppose to be Larger than life.
Sounds like a good start, but in my opinion it's too late so like our website says WELCOME TO YUKONTARIO.
CARNEY'S NOT GOING TO FIX, THERE GOING TO ROB US AND FORCE US IN TO SUBMISSIONS
