...Because That Is What Un-electable Weasels Do
(lemmy.world)
CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn't going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who'll take "I'm sure to win the next election!" as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.
It's cute that you think that electing someone who would cut taxes on the rich, cut benefits for the poor (anyone who doesn't use a million dollar yacht as a tender for their billion dollar yacht is poor), and run up over $100 billion of debt over the next four years then lose an election and blame the Liberals for the mess would be a better choice. If you think for one second that a Conservative jingoist would do anything for the working class you should move to the US and vote for Trump.
Well if he can do better economically I think Canadian wages and productivity would rise. Look at the stock market since before the Covid stimulus, you didn't go up in 6 years, then Caroline Rogers saying its an emergency and that there is a dearth of investment.
We covered up wages and productivity with population growth and capital shallowing. Now we can't even release a budget, what does that say to investors?
It's reasonable to take time to get his cabinet in place and to start to implement some of his fiscal plans. They will release a budget in a few months and we will be none the worse for it.
