How do you mean by capitalize? Like he's going to keep them rolling out

[-] gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com -1 points 1 week ago

cap·i·tal·ize /ˈkapədlˌīz/

verb 1. take the chance to gain advantage from. "do they have what it takes to capitalize on this emerging opportunity?"

I mean how's he going to capitalize on it? Like taking the credit for it to increase his political capital or use it to reverse-leverage NDP into supplying further votes for when he need them to play along?

Please don't provide dictionary definitions as an answer, its almost never going to be what the person was requesting clarification about and comes across a bit gauche. Like if someone asks how to define something, sure, but its not super helpful here

Yes. It's obvious that he would want to do that, because it shows that something meaningful has been done while he's been in office regardless of who championed it. He has already done it on Twitter.

Emphasis mine. The definition answered your question enough that you intuitively knew exactly what I was suggesting, but hey, if you want I can delete it and you can wait for a response for the person you originally replied to. They'll just say the same thing, but maybe you won't be upset about it.
