The Conservative finance critic says Ottawa is burning through the fiscal room it would need in the next crisis, while moving spending off the books to hide how much it’s borrowing.
Canadians are being screwed, but apparently they like it. It’s actually difficult to comment on these issues as emotion (revulsion, disgust, despair) overtake rational thought. Thank you for bring these issues forward in a reasoned manner.
carnage is setting up a framework that is arms length from the govt. Once in place, it won't matter how you vote, or who is in power. This framework is permanent and will continue to operate long after any election or change of government. Canadian airport buyouts will be part of this and will be impossible to reclaimed by the government. Everything is being set up to be operated by the unelected world elites. Canada is just one big estate sale to carnage and his WEF buddies. Change the financial rules (these rest of the world follows) to grab as much capital as possible, access pensions, devaluevthe dollar, break the financial system and the people, who, will have ZERO recourse. He has been steadily rolling this out since he was appointed. Much of it is complete. Everytime he announces something, it sounds like progress but all that is happening is another piece of this framework is being implemented. More new departments with his buddies at the helm. No shovels in the ground, no ACTUAL progress to be measured. They do not want anything to be built, except the framework that will operate regardless of who is in power. Canada is done.
Brian, a good subject and relevant source of info. As Stasha has said above, Carney has no respect for government or Canadians ! How are his behaviours escaping criminal scrutiny ? Why is he continually being revered as competent when in fact he is setting up Canada to fail ? Why is his agenda not seen as what it is ? Where are the Ethics Commissioner and the GG ?
And in addition, when is Elections Canada and the voting machines going to be investigated for fraud ?
I have said this several times over the past six months and I will repeat it, this government's spending philosophy is a kin to the carnival shell game. Only there is not any pea under any of the cups. This government keeps telling how great we are doing, most financial experts disagree, but we keep believing the PM and his ministers. This PM is gambling our entire country's financial future on a bunch so-called relationships and MOUs. Finally, their position on the PRC being a "safer" security entity than the US is a disaster in its self plus this financial gamble is a potential national suicide in the making!
Stasha, How I wish your entire comment would or could be published in Canada's main newspapers. Dare I say Financial Post, CBC, CTV, etc. But none would have the courage, so I'm sending it to people whom I know and asking them to share. Whether they agree or disagree. Thanks for sharing your views, insight and comments. I think many people ‘feel’ this way but don't know how to put it all into words, and you've helped many in this regard. BTW, I agree with much of what you've stated.
That's something I perceived the moment M.Carney took over the position of ‘Prime Minister' without the benefit of having been officially elected in any capacity. The delay was just posturing, IMO, until those promoting him could sort out how to assess and handle any questionable issues related to his level of success in his Government appointed Bank/Financial Officer positions overseas. Not to mention as well, the level or involvement he had in moving Brookfield to the USA and whether he still benefitted financially from that company's continued success. Some of this has since come to light though it doesn't encourage or alter my view of Mark Carney as our Prime Minister who's so disengaged (or is it distanced) from our Parliamentary Sessions.
(PS: I don't know if I'm expressing myself well enough, but I think I've made my concerns apparent.)
Twenty-two members of the last Conservative Government are in the current Conservative caucus.
You will recall, of course, that this was the last time Canadians enjoyed a balanced budget, a functioning, mutually beneficial immigration program, and an ascendant economy.
The Liberals traded their alliance with the NDP for an alliance with the subsidized media industry.
Canadians fell for the ruse, and continue to buy the myth.
How do we Canadians make Carney & his cabinet accountable for all the spending. If they continue it will BANKRUPT CANADA. Is THIS THE LIBERALS GOAL? This needs to be pointed OUT to ALL LIBERALS. I know Carney would like to get his hands on CPP, that is out of his reach right now! But I don't TRUST HIM as far as I can THROW HIM!

I agree with both of you.

"Masters of Our Disaster" or "Masters of Our Destruction" both seem more apt titles.

May Canada survive in tacked. 🙏
“The Carney government and the prime minister have shown a distinct lack of respect for Parliament’s power over the purse and over taxation.”
Mark J. Carney has nothing but contempt for Parliament.

I think that you did a very good job.

This liberal government looks like it is using a Trump play book
