Carney's spending plan would put even Trudeau to shame

[Army Guy]

Thats one hell of a statement because Justin has spent more than any other PM in history, including our war years....Not sure where the money is coming from, maybe the budget will balance itself but this guy is a banker he should have a plan right, only three ways to spend new money, cut some place, or raise taxes, or just add it to our national debt like justin did...It seems like the liberals will just keep printing money until the bank is broke....so much for inflation control, sound monetary policies, for which bankers are known for....its spend like a drunken sailor... I'm starting to think this is the guy we need in charge, to finish off where Justin left us...Broke...

The term 'carbon competitive' is an absurd creation. It means, i guess, if we are to get our carbon footprint down around where others have theirs. But that doesn't account for our much larger land space requiring more travel, or our climate or our oil and gas industries.

Besides, which this is a competition we don't want to win. It involves greatly increasing spending on wasteful energy projects and increasing the cost of energy to discourage people from using it. And that inevitably leads to lower growth and more poverty.

Bjorn Lomborg demonstrates what this means in just two minutes.

Lots of opinion, no facts.  This reads like a very scared rightwing party puff piece.

I would be fine with separating operating from capital spending on one condition. That there was a schedule to pay each capital project off. Something that no government from either party has done for many decades.

How Net Zero is economic suicide for the West.

In which Paul Marshall points out that those countries furthest ahead in net zero have the most expensive power, and are losing their industries to China and other countries. The cost of power in the UK is now 7 times what it is in China. We are driving our industries to the enemy, where they set up and use cheap coal power to build what they used to build here, then ship it back to us. China then uses the money to build weapons and to spread its influence into every Western government.
