“Pierre Poilievre likes to present himself as a regular guy focused on Canadians’ bread-and-butter concerns, but the reality is he’s a well-connected shill for Big Oil. He can be tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries and the Canadian Gas Association.”

No it is not a game and we need the opposition to do what is right for Canadians and Canada.
It is time for all Canadians to start looking at the big long term picture instead of going for short term political stunts.
Canada has been complacent and half assing for to long.

"It's not shocking to see a deficit go up because the economy is slowing and we have NATO commitments. To me, it's sustainable," Page said.
"I think the language from the current parliamentary budget officer, Mr. Jason Jacques, is just wrong and he should walk that back, quite frankly," Page told CBC
In 1993 our deficit was 5% of GDP - 2025 it's 1.7%
in 1993 the debt was 65% of GDP - 2025 it's 41%
I don't trust this PBO.
