Canadian Conservatives are discussing how to emulate Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency north of the border should they win the upcoming federal election — and they think they can make cuts even more quickly than the Trump administration has.
Carney said he was going to cut 28b in government spending via AI. If that isn’t DOGE in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
At the same time we will have nearly double the immigration numbers the Cons want, into an extreme housing shortage. Specifically a 1% cap of 430k, making them the party of cheap corporate labor.
All great things if you own equities and assets, but if you’re poor you get a yearly 500$ dental check funded entirely by debt and future austerity, as they’ve already rolled back the capital gains hikes.
good thing they aren’t likely to win, last I checked polymarket had their odds at ~30%
