We were complicit in letting people bully trudeau out of office. But honestly how could any Canadian with half a brain not see that the liberals led by Mark Carney is the best choice for us in this Turbulent time. I could never see the Conservatives showcasing their values like this, it just screams Canada
I agree that he might be saying things to seem more balanced. But I think he’s legit, hes a legit economist with tons of expertise and he knows how to manage an economy and think big. And we need big thinking right now. Not PP sitting there drooling about… Collecting tariff money to give tax breaks to people?? Nah man fuck that, carneys plan of cutting middle class taxes, changing the consumer price on carbon for an incentive system and keeping and increasing the industrial carbon tax? Yes pls. PP would have just gotten rid of the carbon tax across the board.
Carney also wants to keep everything the liberals made progress on and even build on it going forward. Dudes smart and is one economic wiz I want running our country rn with America being so hostile
One caveat, there’s plenty of economists who think that PP has the right approach to manage the economy. Just because someone’s an economist doesn’t mean they believe what Carney believes. He seems to subscribe to some form of Keynesian economic thought while the majority of economists today are still Neoliberal (more free market, small government, unlimited free trade, trickle down).
PP has not passed a single bill in 25 years in parliament. He’s never had a job outside of being an attack dog for Harper. He has no policies and no experience.
No one is saying they like or support PP.
Criticizing Carney doesn’t mean you support PP.
True. Carney is defintely not above criticism. But PP would be devastating for Canada.
Totally.
Yeah I’m not sure what’s going on, I was simply highlighting that “an economist” doesn’t mean a rigid and consistent set of beliefs and economic policies, sinc economics isn’t a hard science and it’s got multiple schools of thought that lead to vastly different political positions. And if you just go by someone being an economist you may get badly surprised.
So PPs idea of “changing” childcare and the “waste of money” dental program? Pharmacare? The housing accelerator fund to replace it with his lame ass plan of a few hundred million to “reward” cities or then “punish” cities if they do not build enough? Like wtf do you think people are doing in these cities? You not realise there is a shortage of tradespeople? That was one of the reasons we NEED immigration
