    Well it seems like my time of distrusting anything the Liberals say is certainly coming to a middle.

    It’s a 6 minute video for anyone wondering and it’s a mostly bad one that lacks context and nuance.

    For example the Income tax cut they start with. It was a very prominent campaign item as it was for essentially every party during the election. In fact the Liberals had one of the smaller ones and the Green party had the largest income that cut by far.

    Then portraying the military spending targets as appeasing Trump. It’s been thing long before Trump, it’s a owed obligation as part of NATO and if it’s for Trump it ain’t in a good way.

    And this

      He’s very conservative minus the fascism. We hired him because we wanted to mitigate the damage Poilievre posed. It just sucks that we don’t have the NDP to reign the liberals in a bit.

    Small correction: You need to fight back for it to be a war. What the Liberals are doing is class rape.

      “When we said make housing affordable what we meant was make a tiny handful of affordable rentals thats well below population growth. Meanwhile we are paying half of developer taxes in order to keep property taxes low for the ownership class.”
