    You could too, you just need to borrow from the future, with interest. The poor of the future will be screwed by austerity

    I love this. It’s classic FUD and it shows a complete lack of understanding of the prime benefit of a consolidated service.

    This is a great moment for you, as you have SUCH potential to learn a great deal. Will you?

      We had the second worst GDP growth in the 38 OECD countries since Trudeau was elected which was below inflation, negative productivity growth the last few years, and youre telling me some nonsense that debt doesn’t matter and that programs funding non-infrastructure spending don’t need to be funded.

      Is it an aversion to taxing the rich and increasing capital gains taxes?

          Except its the exact same cabinet. But sure, I’ll give him 4 years and see what changes, not like we have a choice. Cutting capital gains and making Guilbeault environmental minister is a funny first step but let’s see.
