Liberals respond more readily to public pressure. To apply pressure we need to bully them. I say go at it. They're in power safely for years. Now's the time to put the screws to em so they do something with that power that benefits us.

I asked CGPT why Carney hasn't release a budget and I could tell that the robots didn't know either.
Since Carney is a "finance guy" are we to just give him the benefit of the doubt? I think he owes us something.

Confusing.

redgewayf.bsky.social•13 days ago

As a lifelong Liberal Party supporter I think it's ridiculous that they're not gonna table a budget.

barrhavenist.bsky.social•13 days ago

“see how it plays out” It is currently playing out!!

thelona1.bsky.social•13 days ago

I'm willing to accept a budget being inaccurate based on volatile US conditions, but you were elected to have a plan. A budget is a plan.

The refusal of this segment of liberal partisans to critique their party is why we’re always on the verge of a conservative majority and they have no clue they’re the reason. Stop cheerleading bad decisions and start pressuring Carney et al to do better for all of us.

Well said

I’m still looking for the cheerleaders here. They will table a budget. Sooner the better. Talking about a Con majority and having a Lib minority are not equal.

literalkaren.bsky.social•13 days ago

You're defending it, which I consider adjacent to cheerleading. My comment wasn't exclusively about this one issue, though, which I think was pretty clear. The finance minister has said they aren't tabling a full budget this year. And they've gifted the CPC with a valid criticism in doing this.

spouti.bsky.social•13 days ago

I didn’t hear the finance minister. My recollection was that there wouldn’t be an immediate budget. Thanks for positioning me though.

literalkaren.bsky.social•13 days ago

It's easy enough to google.

spouti.bsky.social•13 days ago

Thanks again for your guidance. My original comment was refusing/never gonna messaging. It’s not great. If they have one for Srptember I’m satisfied.

dcrinyyc.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep.

caureliaclyde.bsky.social•13 days ago

Honestly, it irk's me a bit, i was hoping for more transparency and am very disappointed that they are starting off which such blatant poor decisions and cloak and dagger actions. I remain hopeful, but am not blind to have this decision looks

I do like seeing these when Im still in the process of waking up. I rad the news article, and they're saying that they wanna keep the promises - and, then have something by the fall. Like, I only voted liberal cause the NDP didn't stand a chance...especially in the Hat. I hold out hope.

Q: Do we know what's the future of US-Canada tariffs? Is it possible to account for this uncertainty in a valid budget?

Not saying I like the situation, but it may be the reality. A lot of corporations have pulled their forecasts, too.

devyn89.bsky.social•12 days ago

But they can adjust it. Give us a sense of your fiscal priorities and adjust as needed but to not have a budget is abdicating your responsibility as a government.

nathanvenema.bsky.social•12 days ago

Will we know the future of US-Canada tariffs by the fall? How about next Spring? In 2027? Or 2028? Trump is gonna be there until 2029

The logic of this excuse can be used to just... never table a budget while Trump is President. It's just a really bad rationale

spouti.bsky.social•13 days ago

Refuse? I didn’t read that anywhere. Said it would be delayed. Not great. However, any budget hurried would be set on fire by the time their proposed budget would comes out.

spouti.bsky.social•13 days ago

Would come out*

steveboots.bsky.social•13 days ago

So if Poilievre got elected, and immediately said, "no budget, we'll just spend how we see fit", you'd accept it?

spouti.bsky.social•13 days ago

Would they continue with previous spending? I’d give it 3-6 months sure!

snorider.bsky.social•13 days ago

That's not good, they need to put out a budget.

northofthe49th.bsky.social•13 days ago

I’m a Liberal and I think this is a big mistake. There is a lot of uncertainty but that means you just list the assumptions made while putting the budget together and revise if/when those assumptions do not come to pass. We need to see
the path we are on and where it leads.
