NEW: The Carney government invited President of The Heritage Foundation, those behind Project 2025 to address cabinet. Though the ostensible reason was to gain insight on approaching US trade talks, a deeper look reveals far more. Carney's policies uncomfortably echo Project 2025. #cdnpoli
Why Does Carney Value Project 2025?

Complete nonsense. Ford is proposing 1,600 Ontario Place parking spaces. Assuming a full lot every day of the year (a generous assumption) and even granting some turnover (let’s say 2,000 entrants a day), the province would still have to charge $82 per entrant to total $60M/yr
