The Liberal mailing list sent this an hour or two ago. “From” Mark Carney:

I am deeply honoured to be our next Liberal leader – and I’m ready to get to work.

…

We’re going to build the fastest-growing economy in the G7.

We’ll cut taxes that divide us and put money back into your pockets.

We’ll invest in health care, seniors, and affordable child care.

We’ll take bold action on climate, and we’ll protect Canadian workers from Trump’s tariffs.

I really hope that ol affordability crisis just slipped his mind. Tax cuts are fine (even if it’s coded language for dropping the carbon tax), but groceries are still crazy expensive and housing is still hard to come by.

    As far as I know, he’s only planning on cutting the carbon tax (“taxes that divide us”). The carbon tax doesn’t fund health care.

      He’s sorta kinda promising tax cuts, if we’re good:

      A Mark Carney-led government’s fiscal policy will focus first on reining in wasteful and ineffective government spending, creating room for personal income tax cuts so that Canadians can keep more of their hard-earned money and better cope with the higher cost of living.
