The Conservative and NDP caucuses are grappling with what to do about the upcoming federal budget and whether they want to be part of an effort to trigger an election by voting it down, multiple sources told CBC News.
Senior Conservative sources say the party’s leadership does not want an election right now, but they are also opposed to voting for the new Liberal government’s first budget given the potential reputational risk of backing Prime Minister Mark Carney and an agenda they simply don’t support.
A Conservative source says speculation about the Liberals potentially losing the budget vote is “not contrived” as, at this time, there are not enough votes for it to pass in the House after it is tabled on Tuesday.
It’s really not that mind boggling that people hate Carney when you look at what he promised vs what he did. And the fact that he’s essentially a small ‘c’ conservative and an establishment banker with close ties to the multi-millionaires and billonaire eltes of western society who is essentially still working for their best interest rather than the average population.
He will always favor private interests over any other public solution because he believes they are the drivers of growth of our economy. For him, the economy is the bottom line and the economy is the growth of private business.
He doesn’t care about us. He doesn’t care about our quality of life. He pretends he does to gain our support only.
