Couldn't find the thread with recent postal work stoppage news but am thinking now they almost have the balance they are looking for with 1/3 less employees on a rotating picket line. Eventually the Union will figure it out. Most important is the Union reps continue to be paid in full. It's a dying job so may as well milk it for what you can get is what I see.
Well, today is the Liberal/NDP Non-Coalition Coalition Budget Day!

I’m sure this guy’s constituents didn’t elect him as a liberal MP, but maybe there’s an ambassadorship after Parliament for him now, etc…?

The stunning twist moves Mark Carney one step closer to a secure hold on the prime minister’s office until 2029.

Sad but true…anyway…
Elbows elbowing. The Liberal government’s budget, unveiled Tuesday after months of delay, forecasts a $78.3-billion deficit for fiscal 2025-26, the third highest (all three from Liberal Governments) in Canadian history and the highest ever in a non-pandemic year. The projected deficit is within the range of non-government estimates from recent months…which isn’t great.

Is the world really that uncertain? Compared to what, 1938?
Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said this budget marked a “generational investment” so that Canada could supercharge its economy (Which means literally nothing). The deficit forecasts, he said, are “in the range people expected.” (???) What people?

Canada’s debt will cost taxpayers an estimated $53.4-billion this year in interest payments. Those interest costs are expected to climb to $76.1-billion by the end of the decade as the government expects it will add to the national debt by about 25 per cent over that period.
Tuesday’s budget also formalized the government’s move to begin separating day-to-day operational spending and capital investments, those expenditures geared more towards boosting long-term growth.
Carney has said that this budgeting change will make it easier to distinguish between regular spending on services and “investments.”
Critics, however, say the move was designed to allow the government to claim that it has balanced the operational side of its books within three years, with the focus no longer on the actual full budget.
