he would harmonize regulations across Canada
Extremely unlikable dude that's has shown almost no ability to draft a bill in 2 decades will get a bunch of people who've never shown that much interest in working together to create a complex frame work of regulations.
Sounds completely reasonable , does it not? /s
Bozo hasn't worked an honest day in a life.
He had a blazer off day (or whatever he called his jacket) yesterday or the day before pretending his stiff white shirt was a working persons shirt.
Of course he would. Funding Trade Schools at the expense of universities gives him a population of skilled manual labourers who have never learned critical thinking, history, or social policy.
A Trade School teaching one thing and one thing well, priding itself on "cutting out" all the rest of what they think of as unnecessary nonsense. And you will never change my mind that THAT is a major contributing factor to the dumbing down of the current electorate. The Greeks considered the Liberal Arts necessary for the public to be able to effectively contribute to the political discourse.
But that doesn't suit conservative purposes.
I mean, I really like the notion of training more tradespeople. Our lack thereof is a huge impediment to upping new home starts etc. But of course Polievre has to fuck it up and pair it with "and we'll pay for it by gutting government."
I hope Carney swipes the trades training thoughts from him and leaves him scrambling again just like the carbon tax.
That's what I'm finding hilarious right now. Carney can just pick and choose the good ideas, especially after scraping the consumer carbon tax. Pierre has nothing else, and it shows.
All the parties have already pledged to training more tradespeople. Carney pledged to during the leadership race.
Carney didn't say his government would encourage more skilled construction workers to immigrate, which I thought was weird.
Frankly, I can't take anything the conservatives say seriously given their close alignment with Trump-style conservatism. They use practically the same campaign slogans, court the same style of extremist bullshit, and PP even wore Trumps orange bronzer for a bit lately.
Trump's overtly lying about things like trade deficits, cartels controlling Canada, fentanyl flowing over the northern border, and he overtly mislead people in the USA in regards to things like project 2025. they made it clear that they'd do/say anything they wanted to get elected, and then they enacted policies that they'd previously claimed they weren't aware of. I don't see why I would believe a single thing that comes out of the Trump-style conservative party that exists today.
Carney and his policies are honestly a lot more in line with 'traditional' conservative principles, along the same line as the Reform party under Manning, and the Cons under Harper. One reason he's got potential to win a big majority, is that he can bring in many of the voters who normally go conservative, who are pissed off at PP's bullshit machine and divisive rhetoric.
Does he mean “put them on a train and ship them somewhere?”
