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
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.
