It’s possible Mark Carney never meant to use the a-word. He was answering a question in French, after all, and you know how that can trip him up sometimes. But there it was.
Asked if the fall budget would be an austerity budget, the Prime Minister did not attempt to deny it. Neither did he answer another question, not asked, a favourite tactic of politicians. Rather, he adapted it to a well-worn formula: “It’s an austerity and investment budget at the same time.”
Coyne’s role as a stenographer for our ruling class is a given.
How he can write an entire column on government spending and the economy without once mentioning that GDP has been destroyed through corporate Canada’s abuse of our immigration system that saw them callously import hordes of unskilled 3rd world migrants is beyond belief.
That’s not a productivity problem Coyne that’s just sleazy businessmen lining their pockets without giving a damn about the cost their greed has inflicted on Canadian society.
