Carney budget mostly seems to be an expensive nothingburger

[I am Groot]

It will increase spending, hugely increase how much we need to spend to service the debt, and accomplish very little. No big cutbacks. No notable programs announced. Defense spending numbers are fairly high, but with absolutely no details on what that money is allegedly to be spent on.

If nothing moves nothing gets hurt.

But but someone has to hurt! Otherwise PP will squawk even louder!

The federal budget enriches the wealthiest by borrowing heavily from them, invests massively in the United States through arms purchases, deprives us of services by blindly laying off public servants en masse, mocks our international humanitarian obligations by hiring hundreds of agents to block migration, disregards the environment and public health by promoting gas chambers. If we continue to support the Liberals, we should expect U.S. tariffs of a thousand percent, since there are no retaliatory measures. It is a duty and an obligation to vote against the budget. If Mark Carney isn’t a cia agent, he certainly acts like one — to destroy Canada.

We knew the NDP would cave. I wonder what they gave the BQ to vote for it?
