You gotta spend money to make money. And if that doesn't work, just spend more. I guess you guys never took Economics?
Sounds a lot like a client of mine. The company CEO wasted millions and now the balance sheet looks like a tsunami hit it. Banks won't touch it with a 100 foot pole.

We have to stop with the liberal trick language first. This is spending. Call it what it is.

I don't trust Liberal with spending too many examples out here for us to play the sucker again. and again.

Time for Change.
Some people call them 'social services' and actually quite like them.
You know, things like schools, hospitals, health care, day care....

The change has already been made.
Trudeau is no longer in power.
It is time for the Liberals to be in power to counter the threat down south.
Especially ideologically.
That is #1.
#2 is policy.
Per policy positions they are not trying to trick you.
They are saying it is spending too.
But spending is good especially when it is an investment.
If we are to become more independent from the US, which we do need to, and pronto, then we need these investments so we can grow.
The solution to everything isn't cutting taxes for the rich.
Private enterprise doesn't step up to address needs of the nation.
They address needs of their stakeholders.
So government spending in areas that give you long term economic value is the need of the hour, which the Liberals are promising.
Carney, with his credentials and ideological positioning, is therefore the right person for the job.

Reduction of deficit in government spending does not necessarily
translate to elimination of investment in the public and private sector.

How is perpetual growth of national debt (and debt servicing cost)
going to help us grow. You have any idea how much good the expenses
of interest payment incurred by ballooning debt can do?
Carney is promising to reduce defiicit to 1.35% from 1.96%, while investing in assets.
What more do you want?

I don't believe him. It's that simple.
The core reason is simple. The Liberal party initiated and continued to defend the Carbon tax....
The carbon tax is a non issue only drummed up into a slogan by Pierre.
So they shut him up by pausing it.
But it is really a non issue for the average Canadian.
Why should I believe Pierre, when he says he stands for a non-Trumpian Canada, while he repeats Trump adjacent rhetoric?
He doesn't pass the sanity test. Untrustworthy.

De-regulation to get our massive amount of resources to market. Not a bad plan for a country blessed with some of the largest oil, gas and mineral reserves on the planet.
Anything for the average Canadian or is it all just about serving the interests of the rich?

You guys told me nothing was wrong with Trudeau. Now you are for his removal.

Can't trust you, Can't trust Carney, Can't trust the Plan.

Time for Change. Vote Conservative.

No we didn't.
I was going to vote Pierre earlier.
I voted for Carney because Trudeau stepped down.
If the polls are any reflection of how Canadians feel today, the majority seem to disagree with you.
(I say that while realizing that polls may not always reflect the truth, but I guess we will know in a week).

I don't believe you. I don't believe Carney. The vast majority of his staff is Justin's old staff.

Carney can go back to sourcing loans from china.

Vote Conservative. Time for Change.

Lol. It isn't a non issue. It's was, why pause it?

And this Trump narrative is tired and old.

I already said why they paused it.
To shut up Pierre and his sloganeering.
And the Trump narrative is not tired and old.
We are being tariffed.
It is pretty much why Pierre lost so much support (atleast per polls) vs Carney.

So is canceling the tax, or lying to Canadians?
