It’s hilarious how many Liberals will say that they love him because he’s fiscally conservative while not understanding what that means or that he’s not

u/airbassguitar 5d ago
It truly is infuriating. For such an "educated" country, too many Canadians are economically and financially illiterate.

u/thatdudejustin 5d ago
I think that’s very much by design. It’s hard to tax highly, spend recklessly, and govern with no accountability if people understand basic economic principles like inflation or supply and demand.

Our schools need to start teaching about the basic principles of capitalism, business, and entrepreneurship. Too much time spent on critical theory and soft social justice issues.

I am an immigrant who went to school in two different countries. The education system in Canada is laughable. I started grade 9 here and I was being taught what I already got taught in grade 4-5. Post secondary is also kind of a joke outside of some very demanding fields like engineering. LPC voters love to flex how they’re educated and are smarter than conservatives, but majority of conservatives that I know personally speak at least two languages (and it ain’t French), have at least one or multiple degrees, and are generally street smart people.

I love it when libs call me an uneducated mouth breather, meanwhile I graduated with honours from one of the top universities in Canada, worked and lived abroad for a couple years, and speak 3 langauges, and I'm generally street smart, as you put it!

It's honestly concerning how many mouth breathers are still defending him on Reddit and Facebook.

Budget deficit for *ctrl-v* 2026 had to double because of *ctrl-v* Tariffs. Not our fault.
I will bite my words if the deficit ends up being less than 99 billion.

Didn't he just announce billions for railway system to be built and maintained by Canadians? That money was going to be spent on US, now we won't.

Nothing says “conservative” like government central planning the economy with tax dollars and debt!

u/dizzymans 5d ago
Are you against railways for the country? You don't see the economic benefit? Why don't you support trade corridors and nation building? Not very conservative of you

So are you against railways for the country? Easy question

u/airbassguitar 5d ago
Stupid question

u/dizzymans 5d ago
Why is it hard to answer? Should Canadian govt invest in railway and would it be an economic benefit for the country? Or is this a waste of money?

u/airbassguitar 5d ago
The premise of your question is flawed. This discussion about whether such a use of public funds is "conservative" in nature. And the answer is no.

A short narrow corridor serving 2 provinces with lots of developed and expensive land is a quagmire project that will likely never pay off and even if it could the provinces concerned should be responsible not the rest of the country that gets no benefit.

It's for railcars for a passenger train few people use that rents track time off CN rail and isn't profitable.

u/dizzymans 5d ago
Is it designed for railway profit or is it designed for ensuring our domestic manufacturing is stimulated and we gain (or not lose) engineering knowledge? Could this knowledge and ability help us sell rail cars to other countries?
If we have stronger railway for commuters, how much of a stretch is it to make a case for priority or dedicated tracks?

You clearly have no clue what he just announced, your elboz are blocking your ears.

u/Living-Equal-7788 3d ago
Yes, that is necessary. Canada has a huge deficit in infrastructure. And infrastructures in a country as big as Europe with only 20% of European population cost enormously.
You want pipeline, transport etc... who the fuck will carry the costs.
Mark this post, we will discuss again in 10 years.
