Just Not ready

NDP MP just went to the Libs. Have we ever seen this many floor crossers in such a short time?

[JelloPuddingPop]

I don't think we have.

My guess is this is what happens when a centrist-right leaning leader is elected in Canada, when the other two parties' leadership is non-existent. One literally, one figuratively.

We have seen it before, but this is the first time we have seen it where it could change the Government from a minority to a majority. And it's the first time that the media is championing the story, instead of just reporting on it.

You think Carney is right-leaning????

[Cousin Strawberry]

He's been a long regarded centrist who was appointed by the Harper gov to run the BoC so that's as close to being a conservative as it gets without stepping across that line

I think, as a country's leader should - he leans different ways on various subjects, but when it comes to certain policies, he is certainly centrist-right, as I mentioned.

- Boosting defense spending
- Defunding the CBC
- Removal of the Consumer Carbon Tax
- Suspending CER
- Re-introducing Tax Credit for LNG projects
- Removing environmental grants, such as the Green-home initiative, EV grant etc.

I've just listed some of the lesser ones - but as you are more than likely aware, there are significant de-regulation portions of his cutting of Government spending, including within the Environmental agencies etc. Along with by-passing regulations for large-scale development of "major projects" such as environmental assessment, impact assessments etc.

I think people on both sides of the fence would see those as mostly positive moves for the country, and if PP had implemented any of them, would be cheered by the right. No?

On the CBC, are you claiming Carney is defunding it?

I'm not claiming anything. Just presenting policies that have been outlined by Carney.
