Industry is in full survival mode now too, faced with skyrocketing costs, increasing taxes, lower certainty, and huge amounts of red tape, so the AI related - and non-AI related - job loss is likely to be even more staggering than predicted.
Businesses that can will also flee the country in greater numbers than before.
The huge bureaucracy can then spend its time writing more briefing notes for high level dreamers while the people queue up for their weekly bread ration at the government run grocery stores

I mean the CAF does this too, we place people on rolling, continuous 89 day contracts so we dont have to pay benefits. At one point we had a person go 1.5 years doing this, took awhile to argue and convince brigade to release funds to make it a 3 year to get him benefits

FYI, moved all the "changes to how sexual assault is dealt with by the CAF" content to a better fit thread already discussing all facets of the issue:

So I will chime in on a kind of this subject, kind of not. Nate Erskine-Smith got f*cked over the Ontario Liberal party nomination for Scarborough. For those not in the know, Nate is currently the Federal Liberal MP for Beaches North York. Normally he grates my nerves but I will admit Carney backstabbed him something good last year.
The Liberals were dying a quick death, Trump and Carney were reviving it, Nate wasn't going to stick around, he did and was made housing minister. Then after the election, got dropped from Liberal cabinet. He is actually smarter than many in cabinet (even if I do not agree with his views on may things).
From what I get, he got shoved out of the nomination race by Navdeep Bains (Former Liberal MP, who is as crooked as they come) backing another candidate and using the local Bengali ethnicity against him. Many of the locals didn't even know who they were voting for but voted for who Navdeep and others told them to.
Great, your local guy can be the hero. Here is the problem, the Ontario Liberals NEED a leader who is smart and can play the left/center-left populace against a losing popularity Doug Ford. Nate can do that a hell of lot better than the dominoes pizza guy they selected as that local candidate.
I know some will say I want Nate to get into provincial politics sop that the LPC loses a seat. Not really my motive, guys. Its Beaches-North York, it will go another Liberal, slim chance an NDP. It will not in this reality be Conservative. I do want to see the Ontario Liberals get stronger, possibly force the Ontario conservatives to get their act together and ideally get rid of Ford.

Wasn't he the cabinet minister responsible for telecom policy and regulation who quit politics to go work for the company (Rogers) whom he was supposedly regulating?
I’ll buy that. Thanks for the insight Rick, I’ve not had time to really look into that one.
A snap election could happen at any time, so he doesn’t really get that relief. At any point the PM can advise the GG to dissolve Parliament and call an election, subject only to the legally required 37 to 51 day election period.
It’s actually a pleasant surprise that PM Carney has not called one in an effort to get a rock solid majority and reset the four year clock.

Same with the whole Prorogue crap.
It’s a shitty process that should never have started.
Here’s to hoping that Carney never uses it during his tenure.
Prorogation is a completely normal and legitimate bit of process. Best analogy I’ve got is sometimes you’ve had too many programs and tabs open, and you need to shut down and restart your computer because it’s lagging like a mofo. Prorogation doesn’t dodge Parliamentary confidence; the first thing that happens in a new session of Parliament is a throne speech and a confidence vote.
Early elections are also completely legitimate. It’s only very recently we legislated ‘fixed’ election dates. It’s reasonable, both historically and currently, for a government in changing circumstances to give the electorate the opportunity to confirm or deny a mandate via an election. There would actually be a very compelling case to be made for that right now given the switch to majority by floor crossing - but given how obvious the outcome presently is, I respect and appreciate that the PM is accepting the more fragile bare majority he presently has and is just carrying on with the work to be done rather than seeking a much stronger absolute advantage that he could easily get. If he called an election tomorrow I couldn’t hold it against him.

Assuming the polls hold, there is no way he doesn't call it by spring 2028.
