I can’t believe that the NDP get labeled as fiscally irresponsible for supporting increasing our healthcare and our standard of living, something that is PROVEN to be cheaper than a private market solution for healthcare and standard of living.
The conservatives have the reputation as the fiscally responsible ones. Our provincial conservatives just spent 660 million dollars, to get 24s of beer into grocery stores a year before the exclusive contract with the beer store expired. That’s $50 per Ontario resident. How is that responsible?!?!?
Last Trump admin the US tariffed China, China retaliated by tariffs on US ag goods. Eventually Trump caved (or genius negotiation depending on your political colour) and China lifted the tariffs. Ask American farmers if they got those contracts back once China developed relationships with Brazilian farmers instead. Look at how many small farms folded since then and have been bought by commercial interests. Think that’s a coincidence? Only megacorporations can afford to wait out the consequences of these actions.
The consequences of this idiocy will last a long time.
