Poilievre & his coms crew are going into overdrive to convince Canadians that the budget is just more of the same Lib spending

Educate yourself about the budget and the diff between operations spending (bad debt) and Capital investing (good debt)

🤓🤓 Last week we got some big first steps on Mark Carney and FPC’s plan for Budget 2025.

Here is the first of an evergreen multi-part essay dissecting Carneynomics.

Not all spending is the same. It’s good the Budget will finally reflect that.

Note - I wrote this last week before today’s Canadian delegation meets with Trump. It’s not meant to parse those events but rather what Trumpism is and the policy issues it raises and how we deal with those.

Tyler Meredith @tylermeredith.bsky.social · 8d

If we are going to manage in an era of Trump we need to be clear eyed about his policy agenda - it’s more comprehensive, intellectually integrated & successful than you think.

And here’s also what to do about it.

Budget 2025 is going to be one of the most significant in 30yrs.

A capital spending plan is precisely how you change the incentive structure to address productivity, and low biz investment.

This is exactly how many businesses and other govts do things.

Time to build

Not a great outing for Interim PBO Jason Jacques.

When your 2 past predecessors break silence - it’s bad.

He needs media training and some more common sense to wait and let the Budget do the talking and then pass judgement (critical or not).

In America, health care is big business. In Canada, it’s a right.

That's because workers like the women and men of SEIU provide that care every day.

Together, we’ll build a better health care system — for workers and for patients.
