John,
The Carney government’s promises of economic reform in this week’s Throne Speech are weak sauce and are unlikely to be enough to save Canada from the disastrous course it is on.
However, we must acknowledge that they show a radical departure from Trudeau’s insane focus on climate change, wokism, mass immigration, more social programs, and more spending.
The government’s seven priorities are all relevant ones that point in the right direction:
1. A new economic and security relationship with the U.S.;
We need one of course, but as I have been saying, to ensure its success, we should put everything on the table, including dairy supply management.
2. removing barriers to interprovincial trade;
That’s been part of the PPC platform since 2018. It’s great to see it finally be a government priority!
3. bringing down costs for Canadians;
An obviously important priority but the only way to achieve it is to massively cut government spending and excessive regulations, and stop the Bank of Canada from printing money again as it always does when the economy slows down, or when the global debt crisis hits for real sometime soon. There’s little chance of that though. Carney is not as crazy as Trudeau but his two main jobs were as money printer and inflationist-in-chief (that is, central bank governor) in Canada and Britain.
4. making housing more affordable;
Another important priority, which would be achieved if the government immediately imposed a moratorium on immigration as the PPC proposes. It will spend billions of borrowed money to build houses for immigrants instead.
5. protecting Canadian sovereignty by strengthening the armed forces;
Another important priority after years of neglect and woke policies to destroy our armed forces.
6. reducing immigration levels to “sustainable” levels;
Isn’t it amazing that what made me and the PPC the targets of smears only a few years ago is now a priority of a Liberal government?!? Unfortunately the Liberals still believe that hundreds of thousands more immigrants per year is sustainable.
7. and spending less on government operations.
This is absolutely crucial after a decade of massive growth in the size of the government and its bureaucracy under Trudeau. But Carney hasn’t shown any inclination to cut spending in a meaningful way.
These priorities are very similar (or perhaps even better) to what a Poilievre government would have proposed.
We’ll see what actually gets accomplished. The car is not racing into the brick wall at an accelerating speed as it was under Trudeau, but at a slower one.
I don’t believe it will make much of a difference in the end. What we need is to radically change direction.
And that’s why the PPC exists and is promoting much clearer and bolder policies!
John, we can’t play that crucial role in Canadian politics without the necessary resources.
Can you pitch in $10 today to help fund the party’s day-to-day operations as we rebuild our organization following the election campaign?
