The way I see it, Carney has said he is going to implement austerity measures (hack and slash fiscally conservative policy, that is) to balance the budget instead of raising taxes on the 1% and actually trying to address the main issue of income inequality.

Show me where Carney said exactly this, and who is the 1%?

This will degrade public services and further increase the financial burden on the majority of Canadians.

I would be interested to see your math on this.

This will in turn continue to worsen public sentiment of the Liberals and eventually result in people turning to populist snakeoil salesmen like pp. Carney is at best kicking the can down the road a little bit.

Who do you think could currently do a better job than the person who has proven on several occasions that he is capable of doing the job?

Also, how does any of that answer my question?

What could possibly be telling you that a Carney led Liberal Government would lead to an Authoritarian Government?

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

  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.
