There is really nothing more disheartening to me than seeing so many of my fellow Canadians committed to misunderstanding the convoy and celebrating as two of the organizers are unjustly persecuted. The worst part about it is seeing that their minds are completely made up; theyโฆ
What the Prime Minister is saying is one thing and what he is doing is another:

Are any of the experts who suggest PM Carney has a strong fiscal bona fides, willing to put a market down on the size of the defict? Is there a number that would have anyone reconsider their assertions the PM is a fiscal hawk?
"The @CDHoweInstitute put out a piece recently suggesting the deficit could be in the 80 billion plus range. That would be gargantuan, to put it mildly, given where we have been over the last 10 years. "If you would have told me that Prime Minister @MarkJCarney was going to beโฆ
