In the ongoing federal election, Liberal Leader Mark Carney,
unable to defend the Liberal record from their lost decade in power, has stolen huge chunks of the Conservative platform…
at least during the election cycle itself.
This is nothing new for the Liberals, who routinely steal ideas from other political parties during elections before abandoning them after the election.
Here are a few examples of what this means.
It means Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s opposition to the Liberals’ consumer carbon tax — while Carney was in the private sector complaining carbon taxes weren’t high enough — was the right decision, as now conceded by the Liberals who scrapped it…
or more accurately part of it anyway…for electoral optics.
During the Liberal leadership race, Carney said Canada was in a weak economic position before U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs hit because of runaway federal government spending and excessively high immigration targets, again conceding that Poilievre and the Conservatives were right….&
who was the governing party the last three cycles over the last decade???
Carney has promised a tax cut if he wins the election, albeit smaller than the one Poilievre has pledged
and yet another issue where the Conservatives lead and the Liberals followed, because Poilievre was talking about the need for a tax cut long before Carney came up with the idea.
Carney and the Liberals have also promised to scrap their own plan to increase capital gains taxes, which Poilievre opposed when the Liberals first announced it, demonstrating yet again that the Carney Liberals have conceded that Poilievre was right.
There are other examples, but what voters should be asking themselves is who is more likely to implement the promises they’ve made as opposed to abandoning them, post election?
Is it the Conservatives who first recommended these initiatives, or the Johnny-come-lately Liberals who later cribbed them from the Conservatives?
