Something tells me that two main contenders are eyeing to curb some freedoms to various degrees. Arguably Conservatives being on a more authoritarian track with Liberals tracking not too far behind
What could possibly be telling you that a Carney led Liberal Government would lead to an Authoritarian Government?
The way I see it, Carney has said he is going to implement austerity measures (hack and slash fiscally conservative policy, that is) to balance the budget instead of raising taxes on the 1% and actually trying to address the main issue of income inequality.
Show me where Carney said exactly this, and who is the 1%?
This will degrade public services and further increase the financial burden on the majority of Canadians.
I would be interested to see your math on this.
This will in turn continue to worsen public sentiment of the Liberals and eventually result in people turning to populist snakeoil salesmen like pp. Carney is at best kicking the can down the road a little bit.
Who do you think could currently do a better job than the person who has proven on several occasions that he is capable of doing the job?
Also, how does any of that answer my question?

You know what, I’m going to delete my post, because it was clearly misinformed. I’m certain I recall reading several articles stating that the Liberals intended to attempt to balance the budget by making cuts, but I can’t find any evidence to support that.
I’m not sure why I thought that, but regardless I appreciate the call out.
Carney did claim recently $28B cuts will be comming. Liberal heavy handed behaviour towards unions smells of authoritarianism… so yeah freedom curbing is coming, we’re just not sure on packaging and potency
Huh, I thought I was going crazy, but it appears I’m not the only one who thought so. All the sources I can find right now seem to say he’s going to be running a pretty big deficit. Although it seems like the capital expenditures budget is going to be where a significantly higher portion of the budget will be spent.
Maybe the cut was solely to operating expenditures, even though the total to expenditures was increasing?
