Warhippy Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 12 minutes ago, NoHeart said: Look at the results buddy. I don’t gotta say shit. Look around at what 9 years of this tool has produced. Ok again this is important. The Liberals had a majority from 2015-2019. From 2019-2024 they've been in a minority government. From March 2020 through August 2022 an all party committee of MPs and Senators from all 4 major parties dictated and agreed on spending and legislation as a group. This means that for over 2 years the highest levels of spending and some of the more questionable legislative decisions have come from a majority consent between 2 to 4 of the major parties and has been a 2 or more party agreement since 2019. This is a simple and immutable fact that is and has been completely ignored by people with a serious bias since 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about improving the business environment and allowing free enterprise to grow the Canadian green space organically. A carbon tax hurts, the fruit/ organic farmers more than it lowers carbon emissions. It’s completely detrimental to its cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're ignoring the fact that since 2019 the nation and it's finances have been run by or agreed upon by 2 or more parties. The over $350 billion in COVID spending was done by all 4 parties.
