Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday that the upcoming federal budget would focus on both austerity and investments, adding that current government spending was unsustainable.
Canada has been dealing with economic uncertainty since the start of the year, so the primary focus of the budget will be to cut operational spending and trigger investments into major projects, Carney told reporters in Toronto.
“It’s a budget of austerity and investment at the same time and that’s possible if you have discipline,” he said
Told you Carney was a motherfucker and not worth celebrating.
I will not apologise for my idealism in hoping he wasn’t, but I can admit when I’m wrong, and I was wrong about Carney. He is a snake.
Any time I hear that someone running for office has a background as a banker (particularly of the international variety), I kinda just assume they’re a motherfucker. I miss the days when I was more of an idealist. Obama ruined that for me.
Carney is a piece of shit but he’s still better than pp. I can celebrate that.
No. He just makes nicer speeches.
They are equal scumbags.
Get out of here with your “both sides” shit. They are both shit but they are not equal.
Shit sandwich or turd burger Randy?
They are effectively equal. Kang is not better than Kodos and Kodos is not better than Kang. That’s the point. Having two choices is not enough when they are both working for the billionaires, not for you. The details of which billionaires they’re working for, and what specifically they will do to make your life hell, is frankly pretty much irrelevant and debating whether one choice is going to cause slightly less suffering than the other is like starving people fighting over scraps in a garbage can. Demand better. Do better.
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kang.
Losing $5 and losing $100 are both bad but I know which one I’d pick. They are not equal and insisting they are is what led us here today.
The better solution is not to lose any money at all, and in the long term that’s the goal. But in the mean time I’ll pick $5 every time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s $100 and $99, or $100 and $0.01, my point is there are more than those two options. There are in fact a nearly infinite variety of options. You just have to decide that you want a third option. Stop picking between two bad options if you don’t want bad options.
Realistically those are the only two options. Voting for Bernie Sanders or the NDP would not have changed a single thing and wishing won’t make it so. And if enough people don’t vote for the lesser evil you risk the worse one winning. That’s how the world ended up with Trump.
Say that to people who are about to get austered, just to make Carney’s banker golf buddies a little wealthier.
We Americans know where this goes, and after Obama, I’m not willing to acknowledge this bullshit notion that one side is better because it’s more publicly polite.
As an American you should know better than most both sides are not equal. You have no excuse for your ignorance.
Picking the less worst option over the actual worst option are both roads that lead to the same place, one is a little longer and has better scenery, but the destination you end up at is the same either way.
Picking either one means you’re going the wrong direction entirely.

What the fuck are you talking about? Both sides are bad but only one is actively rounding up legal immigrants and sending them to concentration camps or El Salvador. They are not the same.
There are shades of grey here that you seem unable to comprehend. One party is measurably better than the other.
That piece of shit literally just called all of Palestine a “Hamas state”. Carney is a fucking prick and does not stand for working Canadians, but I wouldn’t punch him in the face as hard as I’d punch the other motherfucker.
With the shut down of US science, he’s cutting already very weak CDN science support because he knows scientists have nowhere to go now. That’s a special type of asshole, especially after Trudeau failed to meet inflation with research agency budgets. I guess I should work on bombs now.
