During the election, Pierre Poilievre threatened to cut CBC & Via Rail (and all public services). Mark Carney promised to protect them.
Now we see Carney demand cuts to all.
Public broadcasting & passenger rail service are essential for our democracy & environment. The NDP will fight for both.

From the UN:
“The wealthiest 1% of the global population owns more than 95% of humanity combined.
And yet the super-wealthy pay less tax than the working and middle class.”
But PM Carney agrees with President Trump to end the tax on Tech billionaires.
Elbows up……for who??
