Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

I wonder how full Bruce Fanjoys inbox is.


“Pierre’s plan would cut 100,000 public service jobs over 10 years, at a time when we need all hands on deck to defend our country from Donald Trump’s trade war. Carleton, you deserve better. Monday is Election Day. Make your vote count.”

Anyone thinking that there would not be cuts, wasn’t paying attention.

I think there is a perception that the Tories would enjoy cutting and would do so without much forethought of where and how much. That also corresponds with a perception the Liberals being all angsty trying to figure out where and how much to cut. I think a lot of those area civil servants, while knowing cuts were coming, were not enjoying the prospect of Poilievre gleefully swinging that axe.

Absolutely. It was about who would be the best to handle it and how.

Fanjoy's words are very clear. "We need all hands on deck". He was clearly insinuating the Liberals wouldn't have cut any PS jobs.

Yes people should have known better but thats besides the point. Mr Fanjoy mislead people in Carlton Place to get their votes. He was preaching Poilievre cutting 100,000 jobs in 10 years. Instead the LPC is starting with 60,000 jobs in 2 or 3 years.

I'm not from Carlton Place so maybe there people there still think he's wonderful.

Carney doesn’t need to find 3 votes, he simply needs 3 MP’s on the other side to be out ‘sick’ or whatever.
It’s that simple.

MP's DO NOT have to be in Parliament to vote. They can vote remotely via a remote voting app since Mar 2021.

It is possible, I guess to be too sick to vote.

Pretty sure most people didn’t really believe that. I can only speak from my little corner of the PS world with a not insignificant amount of friends in the PS world across multiple departments. No matter who was going to win, cuts were coming.

No. PP took his riding for granted. Fanjoy ran better ground game. PP didn’t even run a ground game. A good chunk of his experienced team quit after the convoy support he showed. So while he was travelling the country his team was as effective as it used to be.

I was in his riding for a number of years and elections before they redrew the boundaries.

How many public service type do you think actually live in Carlton? It isn’t as high as you think.
