In a razor thin 170-168 vote in the House of Commons MP's voted for higher inflation, record amounts of debt, crony capitalism, and a mass amnesty for 500,000 refugees who should have been deported.

This budget looks a lot like the budgets we got over the past 10 years," Franco Terrazzano, of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said after the budget was unveiled earlier this month.

"The government thinks it can borrow its way to prosperity, but we saw the government try to do that over the last 10 years and it was a failed experiment — all Canadians got out of it was high inflation and a stagnating economy."

The only people that benefit from this budget are the board of directors at Brookfield.

Yep. Not a word about this elephant in the details from CBC, CTV, Global and all the other bullshit news sources the Liberals give money to.

Carney's Christmas gift to working folks is a lot more red ink that we can use to draw Santas with.

If Carney wanted a strong middle class and a safe stable country there were so many things he could have done since he took office and with this budget. There are so many bad laws that prevent good private sector jobs from being created he could have overturned but chose not to. And don't get me started on immigration.

But, just like Starmer in Britain he aint here to improve the lives of our disappearing middle class working folks. Prog elites like Conman Carney and Keir Starmer have priorities but they aint yours.

There is money for Lesbian May's Youth Climate Corps.  . Carney likes wasting money as much as true Dope does.  Nothing has changed.

And other than the usual wasteful Liberal spending, this looks like a Mao or Hugo Chavez budget. The federal government picks the industries that will succeed instead of the market and mobilizes national resources(public money) to build them. Those projects(some OK some wasteful vote buying) will cost a fuck of a lot more than if the private sector lead and built the projects just like TMX did.

This budget discourages foreign investment that will raise productivity and halt dropping living standards. It says Canada wants to be the next Venezuela.

Tru dat. Nothing has changed except that Carney has gone full commie and putting us further into debt than Justine did.

Canadians are once more seeing Conman Carney double down on rebranding, adding extra red tape and bureaucracy, and wasting taxpayer money, instead of creating the conditions for new resource projects to have shovels in the ground.

It is all smoke and mirrors.

Canada's permitting process is uncompetitive, with mines and LNG plants taking years, sometimes decades, to build because of a tangle of red tape and moving goal posts.

Add another bureaucracy. He has created yet another bureaucracy, a new bureaucratic hurdle for miners and oil and gas enterprises and other resource companies to jump through in order to get anything approved.

Mark Carney was standing up doing photo ops announcing that he's going to approve a bunch of projects that were already going to happen except for the North West transmission line and the Iqaluit hydro project.

None of the approved projects received a national interest designation under Carney's C-5 legislation, which would give it special treatment — such as exemptions from certain environmental laws — to help it move forward.

What were exempt were the two items that would provide the best returns - one or more pipelines to tidewater and the development of Ontario's Ring of Fire. But, they don't need tax money. They need the federal government to repeal bad laws and private investors would build them.

There is nothing in this budget that will make life more affordable for the working class. There is more debt and more C02 costs. A typical Liberal budget just bigger.

Jo Jo and I were discussing after we had sex last night that Mr.Carney acknowledges that his party's policies make it more difficult for families to buy groceries. Spending $1 billion for a juice box and a granola bar for a few hundred thousand kids is not how a serious government makes sure school kids receive proper nutrition.

Where there's a social inequity to be solved leave money in parents' pockets. The Liberals are more likely to hew toward government programs and national strategies — even in areas of unambiguous provincial jurisdiction like schools.
