Omg will people never be happy. What feels like 12 million years of Poilievre screeching “AxE tHe TaX”
Carney’s like fine, bet.
Now the journalistic take is we’re mad the tax was axed?
Listen - I don’t really care about this for the moment because if we don’t elect Carney I’m genuinely worried there won’t be a Canada, all of our shit will get privatized, and industrial pollution regulations will get deleted.
What a time for this take. Yeah price to pay to shut up the sloganeering zombies so we can actually have an election. We can double back on climate after - I think Carney’s serious about climate.
Liberals when conservatives do conservative shit: "this is awful"(rightly so)
Liberals when liberals do conservative shit: "this is fine"(it's not)
Everything points to a right-wing pivot for the liberals and the voters seem just fine with that.
The last Liberal government bought a $5B oil pipeline. This smells more like honesty and pragmatism than any kind of actual ideological pivot.
Yes, but they also enforced a carbon tax on provinces that removed their own program.
There's also Carney scrapping the capital gains tax increase on cap gains over 250k.
I don't deny they've always been a right wing party, but they seem to be moving further right - that's my only point.
Yeah, it's happening because it's what the voters want.
exactly I may not agree with it but I have a hell of a lot of coworkers who wanted that tax repealed, that's just democracy
