Mark Carney's Public Safety Minister was caught in leaked audio admitting that the Liberal hunting rifle ban is a stupid program that should not move forward.

But, of course, Liberals are doing it anyway.

Mark Carney recognizing a Palestine state really paid off.  They've upped to antics in Toronto. They don't care about where they are or what they do.  They have no respect for Canada nor Canadian values.
This isn't Canada; it's Mark Carney's Canada.

Your globalist puppet leader.

Another Mark Carney success story!

Paul Kershaw, the head of generational fairness group Generation Squeeze , told reporters in Ottawa that the $80-billion Old Age Security (OAS) program desperately needed to be reined in, with federal spending hurtling toward a crisis point.

"(OAS) is now the single biggest driver of federal deficits. It costs $42 billion more than a decade ago and adds more to red ink than child care, than PharmaCare, than dental care, or defence," said Kershaw.

Kershaw noted that the interim budget watchdog said in a recent committee appearance that the federal government was spending at an unsustainable rate.

Generation Squeeze is calling for OAS payments to be reduced for retired couples with incomes over $100,000.

This snake will do this.

Conman Carney released his budget details. A deficit of $78.3 billion.

The Liberal's have tabled their budget after 10 years of sinking Canada down the drain. It's much of the same bad policies on steroids.
Highlights:
- $78.3 BILLION dollar deficit
- 16,000 federal government job cuts / attrition / early retirements by the end of this year, 40,000 total by 2028-2029
- $115 billion dollar infrastructure spending (we actually need massive investments in infrastructure. We need more roads, bridges, railways, and ports and massive improvements to everything we have. We also need pipelines, though that's never going to happen!)
- $110 billion dollars for "productivity and competitiveness" (the right way to do this is massively reduce regulations and taxes)
- $30 billion dollars for defence, bringing the total to $63 billion dollars. (Our military needs a lot of new equipment, more money in general, and a return of the warrior culture)
- $25 billion dollars for "homebuilding." (This is horrible. A government-run housing building company isn't going to produce the amount of dwellings we need for people to live in and it will cost a fortune)
- New permanent residents per year reduced to 380,000 from 395,000 (needs to be less)
- New temporary resident per year nearly cut in half from 673,000 to 380,000 (still needs to be lower!)
- Industrial emissions cap to be scrapped but only if all stakeholders agree to other methods to hit climate targets
- Industrial carbon price not going anywhere
- Net zero by 2050 (our economy needs to produce, not to be shackled. This is bad policy. Let innovation and the market dictate what works best with just a commonsense amount of environment regulations to stop megacorp from stripmining every resource bare)
- A $150,000,000 raise for CBC/Radio-Canada on top of their already massive billion dollar + budget
- No cuts to Trudeau programs: $10 dollar daycare, dental care, pharmacare, Canada Child Benefit and the Canada Disability Benefit
- No change to OAS
I think the Bloc could possibly vote for this budget, or they might not. I believe the most likely scenario at this time is that the NDP abstains from the budget vote on November 17th and it passes that way.
The infrastructure and defence spending is necessary, but it needs to go towards things we desperately need, including pipelines. I'm doubtful that money will get shovels in the ground but we'll wait and see.
The housing money is going to be a disaster. A lot of these other policies are handicapping our country at a time when several economists are saying Canada is in a recession.
