This is a recurring theme with PP’s proposals, something Carney astutely identified with the simple question, “and then what?”

That question is essential, and one it does not appear that the current CPC regularly consider. Similar to their “war on drugs” proposal a little while back. Not only was it immediately pointed out as unconstitutional, but the immense pressure it would put on the justice system (an already overburdened system, as Cliff has pointed out) was not even considered.

People can whine about Carney stealing CPC policies all they want (not least of which because it highlights the totally juvenile mindset of the modern conservative), but he’s answering the question of what it would look like if you took the CPC policies with promise, and actually delivered them in a way that made sense.
