Carney May Be Better Than Poilievre, But Serious Issues Remain (www.readthemaple.com)

In perhaps his most disappointing policy announcement thus far, Carney has indicated he will scrap the Liberal's plan to increase the capital gains inclusion rate. This mildly progressive measure was directed squarely at the passive incomes of the wealthiest sliver of Canadians and would have served as a healthy revenue generator. Instead, it's destined for the scrapheap.

I don't think that's actually true. I detest FPTP but Westminster systems all around have all sorts of smaller parties that work because they have concentrated power bases. The NDP, the Bloc, etc have been electing MPs for decades. If what you're saying is true, they would have been disappeared by now.

It's good that we have that but we can still yearn for more.
