@ottaross@mastodon.social in hindsight, maybe Singh could've put electoral reform as the keystone of the supply arrangement, and waited on national childcare, pharmacare, and dental. It would be the end of the threat of CPC/LPC majorities for quite a while.

@Auxonic the 90s recession was bad enough for many businesses that federal tax revenues were declining and federal debt-to-gdp was increasing strongly. There was some justification for reducing fed spending. But instead of slashing distributions to wealth, they attacked the PS to appease those who'd been drinking the conservative koolaid.
Now the LPC is doing it, without any justification at all, when the context is that wealth is doing extremely well while people are suffering increasingly.
@DarthAstrius@mastodon.social yes, this can still be true at the same time as ACAB.
@stephanie@ottawa.place @Auxonic@mastodon.social it all makes Freeland look even less credible as a potential replacement for the overdue replacement of Trudeau.
Maybe the should market the GST holiday / $250 cheques as "take the paycheque of a young, nearly homeless federal worker at Christmas".
@Doeshecook@mastodon.social @BuckRogers1965@cr8r.gg there's also financial imposter syndrome. It's not a barrier to some. Just leave the mess for someone else to take the fall for.
