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.
