Bait and switch… I thought I was reading an article but it just redirects to a video. Oh well.
I agree with her though; in most situations, minority governments are best, representing Canadians the best.
A majority is useful only when we want the government to be able to move quickly, taking unpopular but necessary steps that it would take too long to come to consensus on.
So, I’m not sure how I feel about it in this case.
Exactly. And, unfortunately, we have to evaluate this in the current context.
A majority for Carney, basically removes power from the other parties. The NDP is in shambles, hopefully on the way up with a new leader but we’ll see.
For the rest, the opposition was Poilievre who has nothing useful to say or contribute. I was hoping this latest humiliation would get PP tossed and, maybe, hopefully, if hell froze over, the Conservatives would choose a leader that is worth listening to… but alas, that does not seem to be the case.
All in all, I do not like majorities but considering the Orange menace down south, I think a gov that can move quickly may prove useful.
PP has the ear of American MAGA and the Conservatives are on that like flies on scat.
Considering Carney’s term so far. It’s not good for us.

It creates stability which is good for the economy. And Canada needs that.
This government is giving breaks to the rich and firing tens of thousands of federal workers in a time when everyone is already desperate. How much stability is there for Canadians when we have a high unemployment rate and the government isn’t even trying to help?
Oh, and they’re cutting development fees in Ontario in half to the tune of $8.8bil dollars, which will just get paid by the taxpayer now, so it really doesn’t seem like saving regular people money is much on their mind. Remember, the most basic rule of having a strong economy is small amounts changing hands often so almost everything the Liberals are doing is weakening the economy, not reinforcing it.
