The Carney Liberals picked up the slightly-left-of-center flag and re-planted it on the center right. They've cemented themselves as being, essentially, just old-school 1990s Joe Clark PC Party Tories, before the Reform Party hard-right wing took the reins

Dick Cheney Departs The World He Made | Defector
At its heart, American conservatism is a fantasy. It’s a vision of a world too evil to be saved or cared about, and fearsome enough to justify any and every impulse toward cruelty and violence that a…

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

So mad I had to check the Indigenous percentage of Canada's population
It's 5%
5%, from an already impoverished and systemically disenfranchised people, are expected to bear the burden of 1/5 of the total cuts

Carneys cuts might seem neutral, but they will have disproportionate and unlawful impacts on First Nations peoples, in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Human Rights Act. They are morally indefensible in a country that professes a commitment to reconciliation.
You failed to mention that Indigenous people are shouldering 20% of your austerity budget cuts.
This is #apartheid in Canada.
Following in your father's footsteps, as predicted.

It is not our job to determine if resistance is hopeless. It is our duty to render it effective, at all possible points, while we are alive. It is the future that will determine if our efforts were victorious, not the present. To act fully in the present means to never face defeat.

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.
