CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn't going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who'll take "I'm sure to win the next election!" as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.
I don't like the guy but I understand that the riding that he is going to run in is most likely to elect him so he will be back as official opposition party leader. I can understand not having it move in and out just for a few months. It would be a completely different if he also lose the Alberta riding tho
They just want to crap on the guy to justify voting for a banker who stole most of Pierres platform, and now made the housing minister someone who said he wants prices to rise, and a finance minister who won't release a budget for 2 years.
The "generational fairness" capital gains tax rolled back, the promise of cheaper housing rolled back, more debt to pay developer fees so that boomers property taxes can stay low, meanwhile the NDP is now dead.
We all need to gaslight ourselves that we made a good decision, but at least Brookfield's residential real estate portfolio looks fantastic.
Dumb-ass argument/complaint. If its what people want, then its not a 0 sum game. Why the hell are the libs (or any party) not allowed to agree on something that the other parties proposed and the Canadian public want? Libs have 'stolen' the NDP platform for years. As someone who prefers NDP to lib, this is a GOOD thing, because it means when theyre elected, they can actually implement it (in theory). That being said, I don't like ANY of those policies, and didn't vote lib.
If they have the same platform/policies, but Carney was still elected that tells you how little people like or believe in Pierre. Honestly, Pierre lost the election by failing to leap into defense of Canada. I watched too many clips of him wiffle-waffling or blaming Liberals for the trade war, and that's not something that inspires trust in leadership.
Because debt loads. Cutting taxes while increasing spending is reckless and stupid, and leads to investors fleeing Canada, leading to the current productivity crisis Canada has. Citing the BoC.
I agree - which is why I opposed the tax cuts.
Both con and lib proposed spending increases, so I'm not sure what your point is.
Cons wanted to increase incarceration rates, which is increased spending. Quite a bit of spending
Cons platform also relies largely on growth in order to meet their budgets, a risky bet considering that didn't play out for harper and his similar platform. They still project a 100bil deficit over the next four years too, even with their huge slashes they wanted to make.
