This woman was paralyzed by the clot shot... and has to beg for money to survive on social media. I've followed her story and it is incredibly sad. I've sent her money myself. The Canadian government has completely dropped the ball on helping the vaccine injured.
So fucking glad my entire family NEVER took that shit!!!

just facts, nothing else. | The easiest 2 are:
- elimination of consumer carbon tax
- elimination of all federal trade barriers for inter-provincial trade
Both were campaign promises.

just facts, nothing else. | Not necessarily a supporter, still reserving judgement not enough of a sample yet, but I think you can google this information. Here’s a graphic I saw below. Green means accomplished, yellow means in progress and red means not yet.
I also remember that he made a deal to get in on nuclear submarines with Norway and increase military spending which I don’t see mentioned.  | |

"Pierre is going to go after your privacy and sell us out to the US" - First bill carney endorses has massive privacy concerns including giving data to the US
"Carney is a financial genius who will have the government running like clockwork in record time, Pierre could never" - Carney can't release a budget

Could you release a budget for every department of an entire countRy in 1 month? I mean I know you’re a financial genius and all due respect but I highly doubt it. Even Trump took 6 months and he wasn’t even being careful about it.

Well.. I just posted this article that everyone glazed over that basically outlined the budget is going to be completely blown out compared to what they said in the election. So there’s that..
Also, even the CBC which is as generous as can be to the liberals don’t see the trade barriers being removed as much more than lip service: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/int...ly-1-1.7574082
It’s a starting point at best, with many industries still unclear as to how it will actually work. So trickling down to the consumer level is still months, if not years off.
Again, I’ve gotta ask, is it acceptable for parliament to be prorogued for 4 months, after barely working a quarter of the year, during Canada’s “greatest crisis”?
You can only really tow this for so long, people are already rolling their eyes. Essentially you are saying there is no important legislation that needs to be passed until well into the fall..
During.. Canadas “greatest crisis”…
The Canada strong pass is completely irrelevant
And the GST rebate.. I’d be very interested to see data as to how many people ultimately take advantage of this. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-...5-million.html
In order to save $50,000 you need to buy a million dollar property from a developer, or build your own house. That is the only way to maximize this incentive. Which, frankly in almost any city Center is a fairly hard ask.
I won’t say it’s nothing, but it’s also not some silver bullet.

I can't say I've read it all, I read some of it... but purely on the financial side of things, having worked there I kind of understand the need for ministers with new departmental portfolios to come in and visit all the head offices of their various departments and get a handle on what's going well and what's not going well and then come back with a fiscal plan to incorporate into a budget.
These things take a lot of time to do right. I can't speak to the competency of every minister, I've certainly seen a couple bad ones over my time in the feds, but some of them were very surprising and good at taking stock of what needed to be done and what initiatives to push.

You always have some sort of excuse.

I don't see how you're doing anything different, you're just steadfastly arguing your own mono-syllable viewpoint / latching onto any source of negativity you can find as long as it supports your hatred of the Liberal government.

this is a level of bitching and complaining not seen since welfare.
go outside and enjoy the sun, breathe in some fresh air, and stop being an angry miserable person for a moment.
cant imagine being friends with someone who just bitches non stop.
