I'd really rather Singh stop attacking and start getting his house in order.
I'm so tired of "the other guy is terrible pick me" crab bucket politics.
Carney is representing fresh ideas and he's bringing a deep background of skills perfect for our current crisis. Right now Canadians are thinking of three things: affordability, losing their jobs, and not being annexed.
I hope the NDP is able to ramp up a campaign around those issues and show how we can afford to weather the storm.
I agree with your opinion about politicians attacking the other parties.
But I don't se how Carney's ideas are fresh. He wants to cut funding to government programs and services, cut taxes and invest.
You know that that sounds like? Less tax income for the government to spend. A decrease in social services like health and education, and subsidies to private interests.
Here's what he wants to invest in:
All of which should be nationalized in my opinion. Social housing for the most vulnerable who can't afford any home or even rent almost anywhere and are either living in poverty or camping in tents.
Energy should be nationalized again like it used to be before Mulroney. Like Québec did with Hydro Québec.
Same with rail and port infrastructure. (I think CN is a crown corporation, but not sure about ports...)
Defence equipment is the only exception.
But why cut taxes??? We need to tax Canada's billionaires. There's plenty of them. We need to tax the richest people in this country who have gotten richer over the past 10 years to a ridiculous point. They're the same people that made the middle class poorer with their manufactured inflation.
I've seen him talk about a middle class tax cut, haven't seen anything about upperclass taxes from Carney. Other than the carbon tax being cut, which sucks, but it has too much bad publicity around it.
