Waited until his pension was secure. Then drove his own party into the ground on some misguided belief that he was doing what's best. The NDPs stand to lose party status and he walks away with a gold-plated pension. What an embarrassing legacy.

Are you really buying into the "operating vs capital investment" deception? Look at total spending. He is continuing to drive greater deficits and increase our debt.

Explain how this could possibly balance the budget.

Carney's total budget will increase the forecasted deficit by $130B over 4 years increasing our total debt to $1.4 Trillion. Stop with the "operating vs capital investment" deception.

What? Mark Carney's Liberal platform pledges $130B in new spending, adding $225B to federal debt over 4 years.
This plan adds deficits until 2029:
• 2025-26: $62.3B
• 2026-27: $59.9B
• 2027-28: $54.8B
• 2028-29: $47.8B

Tough start. About a hundred fish harvesters thrown out or denied entry to Mark Carney's first stop on his election tour in St. John's. Members of their union wanted to share grievances over restrictive Liberal policies.

Been listening and it is unanimously supportive of Canada's sovereignty and condemning Trump's rhetoric. Both sides of the border. Most American sentiment is that of apology or envious of us.

But also Zelenskyy, Schwarzenegger, and Reagan just to name a few. Clearly popularity plays a role.

I didn't say he'd accept the role. I said he'd make a good finance minister.

He'd still make a good finance minister in a conservative government. His platform looks just like Poilievre's.

Avis, given how difficult it is for some healthcare workers to move between provinces, how much of a challenge is it for US workers to qualify here?

If the goal is redistribution of wealth, why bother achieving it through a complex collection and rebate system under the veil of carbon reduction? A simple adjustment in personal income tax could do the same thing.
We'll see if Carney's plan to refocus on the corporate sector resonates.

You got me there. That sounds like a catchy new motto for the party "Trust us. We're evolutionary."

Beauty. What's your guestimate on the decibel level at tonight's game? Booing?

Lots of focus on the issues that got us here. Acknowledging that Carney is walking back major Liberal policies - carbon tax, capital gains, pipelines... Said "if you want conservative policies, you have to vote Conservative."
Had a litany of proposed actions/policies to be undertaken.
Good rally.

In an interview with Anthony Scaramucci today (yes another US site), Carney says Canadians want change - the Liberals were mistaken. He's walked back policies on carbon tax, capital gains, pipelines
Why is he not running under the Conservative banner?
comment in response to
post
He repeated numerous times. Canada first and we will never be American!
comment in response to
post
Great!
After summarizing the walk back position of the Liberals... carbon tax, capital gains, pipelines, etc, he said "If you want conservative policies, you have to vote Conservative."

Hidden in the basement? Not the most persuasive argument to put forward, but I guess fear is a motivator for some.

I too am amazed at the wage levels for some young people - 6 figures right out of school. But I can't reconcile the difference in wages vs housing affordability in this country. I won't criticize anyone for moving to better themselves. But if it's the US, be aware of what you're in for.

No carbon tax, no capital gains tax... keep going. How about capping/reducing immigration? Justice reform? Cancel bills C-48, C-69? Zero-based budget development for Global Affairs - cut the waste... Simple. All found on the other guy's policy page.

Within one year of stepping down, how many US company boards of directors will Justin be on?

For a little history, the age for OAS eligibility was 69 in 1965, when the life expectancy was 71 yrs. It was lowered by one year for 4 consecutive years until it reached 65.
Today the avg life expectancy is 81 yrs.
Personally, I would have been okay to leave it at 67.

Carney has been advising Trudeau and the party since 2020, and the policies now being reversed were supported by him.
For me, this isn't as much of a change as is needed.

I agree that previous generations (at least before mine) or immigrants have seen hard times. But as they say, hope is not a strategy.
comment in response to

I think the poster recognizes all the shortcomings of the US, but is so demoralized with prospects here, he's willing to accept the downside. And it's not the Gen Zs who worry about minimum wage - we're in danger of losing well-educated high-potential earners who see better opportunity south.

If it's a personality contest, there is no choice. But do you believe that something will change with the same party in charge?

Not a lot of young voters in this picture. Boomers believing that voting for more of the same will somehow yield different results.

Grew up on the Cdn side with Tiger ball, Red Wings, Wolverines, Bob Seger... It's unfortunate that this is creating a divide amongst friends that we may not recover from.

Bill Ackman posed there could have been something else behind the announcement. Someone could have made a boatload of money with a $600 Billion swing in Nvidia's market cap.

If it's core to your vote, I actually think Carney will have a strong response, focusing on corporate emitters. I don't see him backing down from his position on climate change.

Looks like you're out of potential leaders. Switching to the Greens?
