Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

If I read correctly, it's a reduction in reimbursement from I think $8.50 to $6 a gram, which they state is in line with market price. Never having bought or used the stuff myself (no judgement- just not for me) is that congruent with reality?
The system is set up so no money changes hands, and there is a vetted list of approved suppliers. 90g a month is the current baseline amount (rather than price). So every month I place an online order for ~90g, and it is delivered 2 days later.

I must be a light weight because 3 ounces a month sounds like a F**k Ton of weed for one person. I mean, we used to consider a one gram joint a cannon to be shared by a couple people. With 90g you could smoke 3 of those cannons to yourself every day all month.
 
Interesting piece of news here:

Sahir Khan, a former deputy parliamentary budget officer and an expert on Canada’s finances, said the projected deficit, while relatively high, is manageable.

The debt-servicing costs are rising to $55.6 billion this year, which means more of every dollar the government takes in is going to pay Canada’s bondholders.

Still, “everybody in the G7 would gladly trade positions with Canada,” Khan said. “There is no fiscal crisis and we’re not on any precipice
 
EDIT: It's official. There are also murmurs going around right now that 2 CPC MP's from Quebec might cross the floor, unclear which of the 11 they are.

Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont resigns from Conservative caucus to join the Liberals


Well this is a first for Charlie.


Even more official.

 
I expected the deficit to triple, so I guess just doubling isn't bad by comparison.

Not a lot of short-term immediate service demands or social program expansion. Debt growth too.

Defence and industrial manufacturing will do good. Lots of long term gambles.
A significant chunk is a reinvestment in core city infrastructure like water mains and sewers, which is critically needed and has been a massive under investment for decades, and I think a generally really good example of useful major public works program at the federal level that does a good job at real job creation/support to industry across the country in real terms, without creating any crazy programs or anything.

That kind of thing is really a once a generation kind of cost, and glad to see it. Coincidentally in my immediate neighbourhood in Ottawa that is about 50 years old there were 3 water main breaks within about 2 kms of each other and a lot easier to plan fixes than deploy emergency response crews, plus fix fun things like sinkholes (especially on highways or downtown when they swallow cars).
 
I wonder if this is the fracture of the CPC back into Reform Party and PCs? It more or less worked under Harper as he ruthlessly oppressed the outliers and didn't pander to them, but I think for PP it keeps biting him in the ass, and likely why he fumbled what should have been an easy layup.
 
I'm really surprised at the lack of comment so far by the usual crowd of LPC haters...
 
Guys, simmer down. I'm implying either A. that they just haven't gotten around to it yet, but that seems odd, or B. they don't have much to say because it turns out it's a good plan.
They.

Sigh.

Have fun, neighbor. Oldest I've found is one downtown that was laid in 1875.
