Yeah that’s a flawed metric. The US TARP package during that crisis was only about $745bn. That’s child play compared to the numbers thrown around these days.
To me the more concerning number is that the Liberals had their own $40bn “guardrail” and tacked on 50% to that figure. I’m also curious about whether anyone can reasonably account for where all this money has been spent.

I think the UCP is too far ahead at this point, and based on the political movement in the western world at the moment, its a tough hill to climb back from.

I know you mean the CPC, but they’re so similar that I don’t want anyone to correct you.
