Also, a reminder that it's very hard legislatively (and to some extent in international process) to scrap 2030/35 climate targets, which is likely why Ottawa is technically maintaining them while not really using them to drive policy or talking much about them unprompted. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Did you know 80-90% of Canadians support a wealth tax on the rich, yet this budget just CUT taxes for middle- and upper-income earners.

40,000 job cuts, gutting Indigenous services, and cuts to environmental programs doesn't really scream Canada strong... 🤔

A month ago, Ontario’s Auditor General told Doug Ford’s government to create a public, accountable climate plan with emissions-reduction targets — as courts have also ordered.

Today, the government’s fall economic statement eliminates all legal obligation to do so. #onpoli

Kids to Doug Ford: We're suing you for weak GHG reduction targets & no plan to achieve them because our future depends on avoiding worst impact of climate change.
Judge: They've got a point.
Doug Ford: Our new law says we don't have any targets or a climate plan. Gotcha!

Also no more money for childcare. That sucks
The massive cuts - $57 billion - is 40 per cent more than proposed in Carney's platform

It translates into 40,000 job losses and cuts to public transit, international assistance and energy efficiency
