I actually voted for Mark Carney out of pure fear of what PP would do. But I had no idea it would still turn out this bad.
I voted Pierre because the current government intends to criminalize nearly a million people, myself included, for firearms we purchased legally and have been available to the Canadian market since the 70’s.
Say what you want about firearms, the money put into Bill C21 could’ve gone into mental health awareness or increased the budget to the firearms program & RCMP detachments performing background checks, hell I think an improved Canadian Firearms Safety Course is about due with stricter requirements.
I seriously doubt that PP has the political brains to undo the OIC and bill C-21.
What turned out so bad?
Shall I continue?
And a whole lot of other shit, too.
Mark Carney has spent 24-7 meeting with European countries, creating new trade deals, alleviating the dependence we have on the country that is calling us the “51st state”. I’m down with that :)
He also has been cozying up to the most insane US companies, too. His problem with the US is only that he wants Canada to remain nominally independent while still basically being a fully owned asset of US corporate interest.
In short, its Trump's wording he is opposed to more than anything. The moment the fucker dies is the moment it is business as usual in his mind.
Overall, I supported Carney as well, last election (but voted Green). But I said at the time, here in this community, that although I completely agreed with his economic and fiscal policies, the jury was still out regarding his social and humanitarian policies. If you think back, Carney ran almost entirely on his financial policies, and remained silent on social policies.
Fiscal policies? The guy is basically gutting everything in favor of his rich buddies. You think Doug's fatass privatization of healthcare is alone to him.
He is implementing fiscal policies that promote economic growth. Protecting the less fortunate and disadvantaged is a social, not a fiscal, policy.
He is doing none of those things.
You said yourself he is favoring his rich buddies. Policies that promote economic growth. You can not say he is going 'those things' and then say 'he is doing none of those things'. Which is it?
Are you trolling?
No, I am entirely serious. Are you trolling?
