Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

Clearly a Liberal Party legacy fail of the highest order.

Let's see if Mr. Carney can do a 180 on these numbers...

From 2019 to 2024, U.S. added 7.6 private sector jobs per 1,000 working-aged people, Canada added none​

• After making an appropriate adjustment for population changes, private sector job creation in the United States has substantially eclipsed that in Canada from 2019 to 2024. More specifically, while net job creation in the United States has been more than sufficient to keep pace with population changes, private sector job creation in Canada has been inadequate to keep up with the growth in the working-age population.
• If private sector job creation adjusted for the changes in the working-age population in Canada had kept pace with the United States since 2019, there would have been 554,000 more private sector jobs in the country in 2024 than were in fact the case.

I would rather invest effort in electoral reform so that you never feel the need to strategically vote for a party you think is second worst in order to block the worst.

Agreed, whole heartedly.

In the banking world CIBC has the nickname as ‘The Bank that runs with scissors.’

I have also heard, “Canada’s most accident prone bank”

Not really an explanation on where or how the money will be spent, other than drones and spooks.

Eff the little guy/ le petit gars... I'm surprised they're perpetuating the LPC stereotype

Federal budget unveils new tax measures aimed at growing businesses in Canada​

“While there’s a mega deduction and there’s a focus on mega projects, my takeaway is that this is a mega disappointing budget for small business owners,” said Dan Kelly, president and chief executive of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

His comments were echoed by Hash Aboulhosn, chief growth officer at Merchant Growth, who said that while measures like the productivity mega deduction are a step in the right direction, they do “little for those who can’t afford the upfront costs.”

Including more budget cuts. The money for Op REASSURANCE is being taken from existing line items, AKA a budget cut.

Looks like CSIS is getting an absolutely massive budget increase, with unsurprisingly little detail as to how it’ll be used. More chatter also abounds about foreign intelligence gathering capability.
