Exactly! Next Carney should let billionaires murder three low-wage workers a year for sport. When the ultra-rich understand that Canada is the sort of country where they can let their bloodlust run rampant, that will unlock investment!

A scene from the film The Big Short in which Jared Vennett illustrates how unstable the mortgage derivative market is by using jenga blocks. Its not a good thing.

Looking at the Carney budget that just dropped:
- slashing 40,000 public sector jobs
- watering down Trudeau-era climate promises
- $59 billion in new military spending
- tax writeoffs for big businesses
- cuts to foreign aid

Yeah I can see why a Conservative would want to join the Conservatives

Conservative MP says he’s considering joining Canada’s Liberal government

The stunning twist moves Mark Carney one step closer to a secure hold on the prime minister’s office until 2029.

So Carney has cancelled the Digital Services Tax, the tax on planes and luxury yachts, and the tax on empty housing.

Seems telling.

To Canadian Liberals on here, frantically claiming the NDP must support this, let me say in the spirit of cross-partisan collaboration: fuck all the way off.

I'm not sure this has ever happened before. Following the results of yesterday's Yukon election, the NDP is now government or official opposition in Nova Scotia and every jurisdiction west of the Ottawa River.

We had an election and no party got a majority. If Carney wants budget cuts, military spending and tax breaks for the rich he's got to find parties to support that. I didn't vote NDP to have them support a right-wing austerity Budget.
