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

I mean if legitimate work is being done it comes down to options - hire more Public Servants to do the work or continue to use outside contractors to do it.

Many governments have tried that before, especially in the IT/Digital space, and it didn't work out very well.

Some is tied to acquisition - to bring on new capabilities.

Some is tied to sustainment - so a Halifax Class refit at a shipyard, or the "power by the hour" contracts to Boeing to keep the Chinooks flying.

Is it worth reviewing? Definitely. Is it a terrible thing? Not at all.

Well 150,000 international 'students' will benefit the Universities/Colleges across the country full stop. If the average student spends 35k/yr in tuition/food/accommodations that is a significant chunk of money that the schools will receive which in turn is a direct savings to the Pro Gov't in not having to transfer that funding over to the schools.

Would that $5b calculation be a bit misleading? It assumes every international student actually attends school, pays $35,000 annually and contributes that entire amount to the Canadian economy.

It ignores students who never show up, fraudulent applications, diploma mills selling poor quality education, and the growing number of international students relying on Canadian food banks. It also ignores that tuition, rent and groceries go to different businesses, not directly to colleges, and that some money is sent overseas.

Immigration isn't a good revenue strategy IMO.

It seems like Carney pulled a bait and switch. We're gling to be right back to where we were 2 years ago.

LILLEY: Carney says immigration is down — his own numbers tell different story

After admitting the system had spun out of control, Ottawa is now planning immigration levels that rival the highest on record. Read on.

And CEO Lourenco Goncalves blinks. Today was the deadline to respond to Ottawa's letter.

I wonder what could have possibly caused this.

I hope the feds still force them to divest regardless, this doesn't change what he admitted publicly.

His lawyers probably were screaming at their TVs

$5billion being promised to the steel industry and $9billion to automotive industry is my guess.

Or the fact he made public statements about his plan to destroy a company he bought, to monopolize the market in NA... but sure, we can just blame the LPC.

With 103 screens already in place you would think Carney's team would have put one in place before his friend's company got awarded a $2.3b contract.

Mark Carney invokes conflict screen after company run by friend got $2.3B contract

Prime Minister Mark Carney will create a formal conflict of interest 'screen' because of his friendship with the head of Telesat, the Star has learned.

or he heard the offer of another few billion dollars and decided he could handle the tariffs for a bit whilst collecting on the bailout

Actually yes. Hell, even CBC called out Carney and Joly lately for the Stellantis plant fiasco.

You do realize stelco has asked the Canadian government to stop allowing cheap Chinese steel into our markets?

I've asked Rebecca Ferguson to stop hitting on me... Doesn't mean she's actually doing it.

The guy said what he said, it's public record now. You can try to defend his position because you hate the LPC all you want.

I am not out to defend or attack stelco. Yes, I criticize the LPC heavily because at this point, they deserve it and have earned it. Keep carrying their water.

End results, we keep losing company after company leaving us and most of them heading south or shutting down altogether.

And if you think any of these produce nothing globe trotting meetings that Carney engages in will produce anything worth a damn, your believing in something that is not going to happen. Or produce minimal results. And lets be honest, relying even more on China is going to further ostracize us from our allies and further weaken our economy.

To add insult to injury, the LPC shuts down every damn committee in parliament they can as soon as the questions become uncomfortable or move it "In Camera (In chambers) for secrecy. So we never do get the story or excuse of the day, we are just being ignored altogether.

While we are at it, Carney handling of the press in Ireland shows what a weak leader we have. Choose to see it, or keep drinking the kool-aid. The LPC fooled this country something good.

I was under the impression the question was why did they reverse course and bring back their 175 workers.

Could be the threat of a lawsuit. Could be someone promised them some of that $9b pie.
