Prime Minister Mark Carney’s second federal budget allocates tens of billions of dollars in new spending to tackle what the government describes as the twin challenges of our time: improving affordability in an era of high prices and securing Canada’s sovereignty as it faces external threats.
The budget’s new big-ticket items include generous tax measures designed to prompt an “investment supercycle,” increased GST rebates to help with the cost of living, an $11.2-billion cash injection to tackle homelessness and one of the largest investments in Canadian arts, culture and identity in recent history to bolster national pride.
So they’re the separatist version of the NDP, in other words.
Also: With something like 28% of the vote I don’t know that I’d call what the BQ has a mandate.
FPTP sucks.
Garbage in, garbage out. Change the candidates, then change the system.
PQ, but yeah I agree. They’re a fragile minority. I suspect there might be a vote of non confidence happening early and we’ll go to the urns again soon.
