Carney’s finance minister has been promising to deliver “generational investments” in this budget — but at the same time, Carney has warned that his plan to transform the economy will involve “sacrifices.” These investments and sacrifices are distributed according to a peculiar logic.
For example: Carney has been publicly wringing his hands over the $10 million he claims Canada Post “loses” every day. In their analysis of that framing,The Breach pointed out that this number (an unusually high estimate) is tiny compared to the $169 million the military spends daily. That hasn’t stopped Carney from slashing the postal service’s activities, all while promising an extra $9.3 billion to the country’s armed forces by March.
I know one sure fire way to save Canada 1-5 billion dollars, quit targeting licensed firearm owners and focus on the root cause of gun violence.
Put them elbows to work carney and give the US shit for their smuggling, repeat offenders should not be given the option for bail or house arrest.
