The PBO did a good job explaining this. Go check him out.
I did, its only about the definition of what qualifies as a capital investment AFIK. That will be sorted out by the new PBO when they are hired. That just an accounting standard not a democratic process or guardrails. Note that the parliament did pass the budget but some of the changes will also have to go before parliament in the new year so nothing is subverted.

Never said it was a democratic process. It's a bypass to allow him to spend more money.

Correct
It's funny but sad to watch people support Carney bypass all rules and democratic processes to install his Globalist agenda.

So you are saying his classification of "capital expenses" that the PBO is questioning, is tantamount to BYPASSING ALL RULES ? 🤨 🧐

One of several things.
The unusual reclassification of expenses to make his spending look ok.
Changing the fiscal anchor from declining debt-to-GDP ratio to a declining deficit-to-GDP ratio.
Speaking to Brookfield associates when told not to.
Creating positions to give his investor friends jobs and control over Canada.
Kicked a Liberal out his riding so he could get a safe spot to run in.


I'll even add environment and climate regulations, though I'm not so again this.

No its not just that, its to change the way the govt looks at spending money. PP kicked an MP out to run AFTER he lost his seat, yet you still support him. The change in how spending is measured is important. Is the expenditure on building TMX the same as higher OAS payments? Or income supports? Its very different to spend money on an expense vs something that has intrinsic value and will support Canada's economy in the longer run. Its a good thing that his govt differentiates different type of spending. If you google there are many reason to boot him out other then wanting the seat.

Call it what you want. It's still a bypass of rules that allows Carney to spend.

And there's a difference between stepping down from a riding and being kicked out.

No its not. The govt can spend as much as Parliament approves it to spend and how much it can borrow or tax. All the spending is still disclosed in the budget. IF the govt exceeds the budget, it may face a non-confidence motion. But the fact is the govt can spend AS MUCH AS IT WANTS. Its not so much PP had an MP step down, he chose to ignore the democratic decision of his riding to GET LOST. and came back inn spite of losing an election to a not well known candidate

:ROFLMAO: That's exactly the point. The PBO reviews the budget and says what makes sense and what doesn't.
