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.

    But with proportional representation, you’d be able to vote in a government that is able to address your priorities effectively…

    In a democracy, the ultimate power should be vested in its citizens. I’m not making it a big issue, it is inherently a big issue.
