I'm confused. Are you saying that Carney doesn't have to keep any of his campaign promises, so long as he doesn't do things that are quite as bad as the hypothetical actions of the party we were told was an existential threat to Canada?
Apologies if that sounds rude, but I'm getting incredibly frustrated with folks who seem to want to give this government a pass on just about anything, even breaking their explicit campaign promises. Is this really how low the bar is now? If so, we're absolutely doomed.
I'm just trying to look on the bright side and glad the cbc still exists, albeit with less funding. I've grown numb to politicians, liberals included, not following through with promises. We never got electoral reform and how many times have liberals ran on that promise?
That's why things always get worse.
This is why we have to scream at them every time we catch them.
If you've grown numb to it, then why are you in these comments actively defending it?
I'm not defending the cuts, i said i wasn't thrilled about it. If cuts are happening, at least the cbc decides what is cut.
You're defending the promise being broken by saying it's no big deal/could be worse.
This is a 15% cut to the CBC. Do you think that what normally happens is that Mark Carney goes in and starts randomly firing people? Of course not. The budget gets cut and the CBC has to figure out what to do next.
The only reason this is being said ahead of time, IMO: the Liberals don't want to unveil all their devastating cuts in a single budget bill, because the outrage would be incandescent, so they're dropping a new bombshell every week to keep Canadians on their back foot.
None of these cuts are necessary!
