    Disappointing to see adoption of CPC/PP platform cluelessness policy priority. Canada needs to spend on industrial policy to fight US, and prepare for hardships. His first BS of offering US empire more weapons purchases for more force multiplier warmongering was embarassing enough. Head in the sand “negotiations” is not going to go well.

    Priority needs to be to destroy US economy, to save Canada’s. If plan is to do nothing, we can do without an auto industry too, but waiting until the crisis evolves is just negligent.

      The Liberals don’t care about debt, that is for some future party to worry about, during a debt crisis.

      The NDP want a lot of social programs with high taxes, the Cons want low taxes and fewer programs, the Liberals offer a lot of social spending and low taxes by shamelessly abusing government debt.

      The debt can be abused because its backed by our ability to liquidate our public pension to pay creditors, as outlined in the last budget Freeland released.
