    Carney did claim recently $28B cuts will be comming. Liberal heavy handed behaviour towards unions smells of authoritarianism… so yeah freedom curbing is coming, we’re just not sure on packaging and potency

      Huh, I thought I was going crazy, but it appears I’m not the only one who thought so. All the sources I can find right now seem to say he’s going to be running a pretty big deficit. Although it seems like the capital expenditures budget is going to be where a significantly higher portion of the budget will be spent.

      Maybe the cut was solely to operating expenditures, even though the total to expenditures was increasing?

      1. Source it.

      2. When did Carney do anything heavy handed as the leader towards unions? Pretty busy news cycle so apologies if I missed that.

        The Liberals say that transfers to provinces and individuals would be off limits, but they aim to save $28 billion over three years by cutting “wasteful” spending and making changes to the government’s internal operations, including a cap on the size of the public service.

        Carney didn’t deal with unions, Liberals did. I don’t think there’s a single instance on memory where they did not man-handle unions.

          Now do the Conservatives, NDP, Greens, Bloc, and the PPC.
