      That life is only going to get a little worse when we cut social programs to buy F35s.

    Now that the Liberals are realigned with the political Centre, it’s back to more tame jokes as usual.

    Definitely beats throwing minorities under the bus like the Americans

      Center-right sounds more appropriate. Carney’s first move was applying Poiliere center policy by removing the carbon tax, and his information bill was basically Harper’s wet dream. He faces zero critisim. No Canadian politician ever had it so easy, thanks to crazy donny.

        I agree with the general sentiment but saying he’s had it easy while dealing with the tariff debacle and the ongoing economic fallout and constantly shifting goalposts is debatable.

        Personally, I want to see where we are by the time the mid terms roll around.

        “Never let a good crisis go to waste”

        In a way that’s refreshing. The levels of anti-government sentiment globally has been insane, and was always going to consume itself one way or the other. Power vacuums don’t last.

        There has not been a single day since Carney took office that I haven’t seen or heard a criticism about him. He most certainly is not bullet proof right now.

    I really hope a tax hike is the direction he goes with this. The “we’ll save billions with AI” thing from the election was bullshit, at the very least. Potentially, conventional digitisation could save quite a bit, but it will probably take a while, and more debt is also imprudent.
