Nope we are just using what we have to prop up that line of credit . We , the richest most educated country in the world and we can’t even get close to balancing a budget and spending within our means . We can however afford an official photographer to follow and snap shots of the day in a common man’s life.
Non-Coalition Coalition that’s Definitely NOT a Coalition…

Not willing to get on the NDP never never plan with respect to “national” (not really national) programs?
Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet made the demand on Wednesday, when explaining why he will help Trudeau's government survive a confidence vote later in the day that was advanced by Pierre Poilievre's Conservative party.
Blanchet said his party is trying to "profit, literally" from the situation, after the New Democratic Party pulled out of the parliamentary alliance that had been propping up the Liberal government since March 2022.
Bloc Québécois will try to topple Trudeau government if two bills not passed by Oct. 29 — Toronto Star
The Bloc Québécois is giving Justin Trudeau an ultimatum: If two Bloc bills aren't enacted into law by Oct. 29, the separatist party will try to topple the Liberals' minority government and trigger a federal election.
The Bloc wants the government to help push through two Bloc bills, Blanchet said.
One aims to increase pensions for seniors aged 65 to 74 at a time when expenses far exceeded income, not just for seniors, but for the country has a whole.
The other would protect the supply management system for dairy farmers from getting diluted in future trade negotiations…which pretty much benefits Quebec above all others…& NAFTA or USMYMCA-Whatever has got to be becoming due again soon…
"It's the entire demand in an irrevocable and non-negotiable way," Blanchet said in French, when asked if he would accept only one of those bills becoming law by his deadline.
Blanchet said he chose Oct. 29 since that would leave time to hold an election before the Christmas season, and suggested that his party could try to trigger an election sooner if it becomes clear that the Liberal government isn't helping them try to get their two bills passed according to their timeline.
Between now and Oct. 29…not September 29th like I mistakenly read above… so not in four days. My bad.

Nothing unreasonable but why didn't they pitch a bill or ask Poilievre to cooperate for it as an election item?
Maybe that’s next? What they are doing currently is going to play super well in Quebec, and make them stronger seat wise (maybe the official opposition) in the next election.
He is portraying himself as a war PM lately. Its hard to be an environmentalist that is pro war. Conflicted that boy is.
Unfortunate for western Canada they do not have a card to play in the game.
I just hope the next government is fair across-the-board. It’s all we can hope for.
Meanwhile…the Liberals didn’t seem to want to engage in a spat with the Bloc.
Quebec lieutenant Jean-Yves Duclos said his government is “not going to be distracted by these political games” in the House of Commons, and they’ll keep Jagmeet in their pocket with his “Ripped Up” or “Torn Up” supply & confidence non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition agreement that the NDP/Liberals & Liberal/NDP’s definitely AREN’T in together…in play until about 60 days before October 20th (or 27th)…so…
…so the NDP/Liberals will support the Liberal/NDP’s Until about the end of August 2025… give or take a day or two.
(From January of 2024, the federal New Democrats believe they will soon be able to pay off their 2021 election debt, but will await end-of-year fundraising totals before marking the occasion. Once that's done, she said the party will start building a war chest for the next federal election call, which has to come sometime before Oct. 20, 2025)

Anywho, back to the Bloc Québécois: Bill C-319 seeks to increase pensions for seniors aged 65 to 74 by 10 per cent. The independent Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates the proposal could cost $16 billion over five years, so annually it amounts to the fallout of about two Liberal scandals per year.
Bill C-282, intended to prevent federal governments in the future from negotiating adjustments to Canada’s dairy and poultry supply-management quota system in trade deals, has already passed the House and is awaiting review in the Senate, & USMCA isn’t due again until 2036 unless something goes south (figuratively, and literally).
International Trade Minister Mary Ng said that the Liberal government has already supported the Bloc’s bill on supply management.
“We’ve been very clear that Canada’s supply managed sector is really, really important (for all the provinces that start with the letter “Q”) and so that bill that has gone forward already,” she said.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said this week she was having “conversations” with the Bloc on the issue, the poor bastards, being forced to listen to that.

Federal NDP will soon be debt free and ready to build up war chest
The party has less than $1 million left on a $22-million election loan from 2021, and recent fundraising efforts should allow it to pay off the debt in the coming months, said NDP director Anne McGrath.
Bill C-282, intended to prevent federal governments in the future from negotiating adjustments to Canada’s dairy and poultry supply-management quota system in trade deals, has already passed the House and is awaiting review in the Senate, & USMCA isn’t due again until 2036 unless something goes south (figuratively, and literally).

Bloc levels ultimatum at Liberals, threatens vote to bring down government — National Post
Liberal support for Bloc Québécois private member's bills on increasing support for seniors and protecting supply management is 'non-negotiable,' leader Blanchet says
Yep. The NDP has suggested its support for the Liberals will last as long as it takes to get the pharmacare bill to provide free contraceptives and diabetes drugs and devices through the Senate and into law (no matter what), and to expand eligibility for dental care beyond children and seniors.
{The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) estimated the cost of pharmacare at about $1.9 billion over five years, assuming provincial and private plans continue covering medications under their current terms}
You know it’ll take until at least the end of August of 2025 by design too. By then Jagmeet will have his pension & a loan in place to try & get the NDP through another federal election.
It took 5 years to run a disability bill through. Payments have been accumulating since June and wont ne paid out until June 2025. So no, Darkmeet wont get that through before Oct 2025.
