A government report just came out that by 2040, if government spending continues in the same direction it has been going over the past 10 years when the Liberals were in power:
- Forms of person-to-person exchange of goods and services could become even more popular, reducing tax revenues and consumer safety
- People may start to hunt, fish, and forage on public lands and waterways without reference to regulations. Small-scale agriculture could increase
- Governments may come to seem irrelevant if they cannot enforce basic regulations or if people increasingly rely on grass-roots solutions to meeting basic needs
Also:
- People who work hard but see little reward may look for others to blame
- Some may blame AI, Big Tech, CEOs, social media, unions, or capitalism. They could demand tighter regulations, tax penalties, or profound revisions of certain systems
- Some may blame the state. They may attack policies believed to favour older cohorts, who benefited from the era of social mobility. In extreme cases, people could reject the state’s legitimacy, leading to higher rates of tax evasion or other forms of civil disobedience
- Some may choose to blame those with capital, whether it is social, economic, or decision-making capital
- Others may choose to blame immigrants, or another identifiable group. If such scapegoating becomes widespread, it could generate serious social or political conflicts
I wish it were just fear mongering or something from a dystopian science fiction novel such as the Hunger Games, but it’s from an actual government report.
Personally, I just don’t see why would anybody vote for the Liberals in this election, other than “Trump bad” and “PP is just like Trump”, which is just simply not true and is just left-wing fear mongering.
Plus, Mark Carney was Justin Trudeau’s advisor for about the last 5 years and it was he who drove the Canadian economy to such a weak state that the US tariffs can cause so much fear for Canadians (I mean, if the Liberals haven’t weakened our economy so much, the US tariffs wouldn’t have been such a problem).
How is anything in the document connected to “Liberal spending” in any way? That’s a pretty random conclusion to jump to.
Whatever else our conservative party may be, it is certainly not fiscally conservative. Here is a chart showing the national debt of Canada per year. Notice that the years of Chretien/Martin’s Liberals were bringing the debt down (good) while the blue bars showing the conservative parties both before and after increasing the national debt (bad). Now I don’t deny that Trudeau’s spending was high, however, if we are talking about bringing back Harper’s Conservatives (PP being Harper 2.0) is that really any better? That looks like yet more spending to me. If reducing the national debt is your goal, who do you propose?
What a surprise, your account opened right around the time an election was coming.
Where does this “official government report” link anything to liberal spending or government spending at all for that matter? It doesn’t and I don’t see how you are making that connection.
Gtfo.
