But that doesn't excuse billions and billions in spending when inflation is already a major issue.
So not as 'absurd' as you think it is. Though not surprising that you fail to see that. Gotta keep spinning.  |
It's tough to fault them for anything done during Covid. The issue is that this government has never seemed to have had a plan for governing beyond spending announcements and has never really shown more than a cursory interest in reining in their spending.
We basically have a lame duck government now, out of ideas and propped up an even lamer NDP. The civil service is demoralized, Canadians are more divided than ever, and the BQ seems to now have a permanent place in Canadian politics once again.
I'm not a CPC partisan by any means. I am actually quite skeptical of PP and I think he really overestimates his own political genius. We are stuck where we are because of ever-present CPC incompetency.
That said, we need a change. I really fail to see how JT and his government, especially the most recent iteration, cannot be called one of the most absent and poor governments in Canadian history. They have got to go.
