The Conservative floor crosser actually reveals a lot about the Liberal budget (and it's not pretty)

This is f-tier toxic social media rage bait.
She's says literally nothing of substance, just makes sweeping generalizations to try and get outraged for clicks.
Go read actual written journalism.
Still probably much better than the alternative.
Although, as long as the populace allows corporations to financially incentivize politics, corruption is going to be the default mode.
It is legitimately not even as simple as Canadians wanting to do something given that corporations have shown that they are very very willing to flee countries to others if they don't like the policy there.
Redditors and Lemmings are quite frankly, naiive children in their approach to politics. Just picking the most "altruistic" path and ignoring the realities of the way the world works is not going to bring about the outcome you want.
So, you think we should cater to corporations in fear of them leaving?
I say good riddance. The companies in question cry all the time about open market and healthy competition when it suits them, all the while doing every shady thing they can in the background to monopolize, dominate and capitalize.
I’m not sure what altruism you are referring to, though posting on a lemmy forum, saying that all “Lemmings” are a specific way, while clearly demonstrating that you exemplify it, is interesting to me.
Edit. Ask != all
I am totally okay with a Liberal party that marginalizes the CPC's extreme voters by moving right and appealing to their more moderate voters, thereby also alienating people who are more on the left inside the Liberal tent so that the NDP has more potential for resurgence. Seems like the kind of thing that might be good for a multi-party system.
Only works if the NDP are smart enough to not also lean right
The liberals under Trudeau were stealing the NDP's lunch pretty consistently. Why would you vote for the NDP when they are not offering much different compared to the liberals.
Under Carney there liberals have definitely shifted right. That's fine in some respects and a problem in others. Carney would have been perfectly at home as a conservative leader prior to the entire party hitching their cart to the SoCon wagon.
There is a large section of the electorate that don't mind the conservative policies if they could divorce them from the SoCon bullshit.
Anyway, the NDP might seem more of a viable choice given the above changes. They definitely need new leadership though as the current crop is pretty stale.
The corporate liberals are gutting taxes on private jets, yachts and unused housing while Mark Carney is telling struggling canadians to make sacrifices.
oh and don't forget they also want to give $1billion to AI development over the next 5 years.
Yeah, that we are already benefiting enormously economically from our early investments in AI, it would be dumb not to continue, especially at a time when the US is scaring away many top international researchers.
I kept reading on here how Carney was such a smart choice, because of his work with the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Not like that job scream "fucking over the poor" or anything... /s
This is reactionary bullshit just to get angry because you're online.
