Poilievre worried there won’t be enough government left for him to cut
“Save some for me Mark!” Luke and the Panel (Nile Séguin and Clare Blackwood) break down Mark Carney enacting spending cuts that even Harper wouldn’t dream of, and then dive into the biggest sports stories going on in the world: The Blue Jays are soaring, Rogers is screwing over the Raptors, and the...

Carney is nothing but a conservative in a trench coat.
This is why we need propositional representation - without a system that allows viable alternatives to the lesser evil our country isn't really a democracy.
Not quite, but there has been some con action so far. Some diff between standard con are:
- Does not deny climate change
- Does not want to harm LGBTQ pop
- Has read Marx and agrees with some of his analysis
- Does not believe the free market is the best solution for every problem
My bet is that he's gonna go for deficit spending when shit hits the fan because unlike the standard con he understands public debt isn't like family debt and that austerity in bad times is a bad idea. We'll see in the fall.
Better than a Conservative hiding his MAGA hat at this point, but we do need more options. I still have a bit of hope Carney might do good, but time will tell, we gotta give him a fair shot.
we gotta give him a fair shot.
Why?
Because he hasn't actually slashed anything yet. It's all guesswork based on some promised spending on the military and some tax cuts. But he can always do deficit spending and it would actually make sense if the mil spending goes domestic instead of in the US MIC.
But we should be very suspicious still. I'm not saying oh let's coddle him because he hasn't harmed us. Critique the fucker and be surprised if he actually delivers.
I mean, he passed those two bills (C-2 and C-5 I think?) so he's a conservative even before slashing anything.
Wait, I don't think C-2 passed yet. I wrote some stern letters on that one.
C-5 is also an undemocratic disaster of sorts but they did amend some of the worst parts. Still bad. So yeah, no question there.
