  • All these complaints about the delivery of these programs are on the provinces. They are the ones who administer it, so that’s their fault but people don’t seem to be getting that through their thick ass skulls and instead hear Pierre talk about how more spending on these things is what’s making everything more expensive and they’re buying it. Pharmacare is something that has just been getting going and being signed onto in various provinces within the last year, dental care has now been expanded to all those households that make 90K after taxes IF their province has agreed to the program.

    Because that’s how Canada works at its core, it is run by the provinces in almost every facet of your daily life. And the federal government is there to fund and protect them and the environment and handle indigenous relations… This is a very serious disconnect in how the people of this country think it functions.





  • Plus Pierre just wants to remove the GST on ALL new homes, not just for first time home buyers (who aren’t really buying a new home anyways). BUT, with Carney’s plan to rapidly increase the construction of homes and make them denser, with new methods and materials, of done correctly, could mean that a first time homebuyer a few years from now COULD potentially buy one of those new houses/townhouses.

    He also understands that you must spur the private capital investment into these sectors with public money, but not to fund in completely. We need to build affordable housing yes, but we just need to make the construction of houses cheaper overall. And for home to say we’re going to use Canadian lumber only will help our lumber industry during this Turbulent trade situation with our biggest customer.

    It will create jobs, create growth, and create a more affordable life overall with their housing plan. Pierre is a free market radical meanwhile Carney wants to harness that free market potential and concentrate it to work FOR us. Hence his book “Values” which I highly recommend anyone reading this to check out, even in audio form. This dude is the guy every conservative has been whining for, an economic juggernaut to build Canada for the 21st century


  • A liberal government propped up by the NDP saw us have one of the best COVID recoveries out of the developed world. It saw us get childcare, pharmacare, dentalcare, and the first home savings account. They made student loans interest free, gave more tax breaks to the working class and produced a school foods program… Would you say these are not all monumental achievements that most developed nations in Europe has had for decades?




  • And people love to gloss over the fact that the industrial tax NEEDS to be there in order for us to diversify and increase trade with the EU, a modern advanced society. Meanwhile PP just loves to claim that we will get rid of it and… Do nothing? That’s because the Conservative party have flat out voted that climate change is not real. Completely anti science bullshit. If anyone is from the days of the PCs, they would vote for Carney





  • It’s not so much capitalism as it is the premiers being literal throns in our countries side when it comes to progress (Alberta and Sask). They will threaten to “leave Canada” because of some bullshit reasoning that changing our economy from a petrol one to a green one will be bad for the economy. Meanwhile it will only generate new growth and stability for everyone who invests in it. Carney KNOWS this



  • Even the consumer carbon tax being removed is a dumb thing. It was only done to shut the conservatives up because all they were doing was kicking up misinformation about it. The carbon tax literally impacted the richest of us more than the working class, the working class even gained more money from it as we move away from ICE’s and more towards EVs and hybrids, heat pumps, etc.

    The only appeal the conservatives have are for the richest of the country really. No GST on new homes if you’re a first time home buyer OR NOT. How does that help? That just means rich people can get a 5% break on buying new houses to sell off or rent out. Their tax cut? While the most out of all the other parties, will also cost the most and where are they going to get that money from? Take a guess. And then the declaration of using the not withstanding clause, opening that can of worms just so they can overrule the charter and constitition to be “tough on crime” it’s rediculous.

    The NDP and bloc and greens have far better platforms then the cons but people who vote conservative are too fucking stupid to vote for anyone else, or just simply read for that matter
