    There’s an ‘Only Nixon can go to China’ element for Carney here. Carney is uniquely positioned to cut expenditure and get away with it because (i) he’s an eminent economist and (ii) he’s not a fire breathing conservative.

    Last mention of At Issue, however a point Althia made last night was that the speed at which the Carney govt wants to do things has concerned some mps, made reference to how they dont involve parliament with some of their changes.

    They need to be kept in check a bit.

    Ok. If you want no cuts then taxes have to go up. Do they want that? The way things have been going is unsustainable.

    These cuts, along with bills C3, C5, C9, C15, C21, C22 and C63 should concern all Canadians. One day a government you do not agree with will have these powers.

    There has to be cuts the amount of hiring that went on during covid was overkill. Time to reset and AI the civil service.

    There was no concern with how rapidly the Trudeau government expanded the public service to unsustainable levels. It needs a reset and to be downsized in a big way.

    The OP for this article is pretty much the NDP’s answer to Andrew Coyne. I don’t think that discredits Aivalis in anyway, pundits can certainly engage with their audiences online, but I find his participation on reddit without using full disclosure on every post, to be incredibly unethical.

    I’m a left-wing person, so there’s a lot here that I’m not a fan of, but I’d like to focus on one thing purely from a pragmatic perspective.

    Cutting the CRA by 40% seems extreme and counterproductive. They collect the revenue, and they’re a common point of real contact between citizens and federal government. With less resources, they’re ability to go after big ticket tax loopholes or fraud will likely be degraded, and the general public will almost certainly have an even worse time interacting with them. Frankly, a cut to the CRA of this scale is one of the last things I’d expect to see from a government that was legitimately interested in pursuing more revenue to expand state capacity.

    The author is listing a lot of cuts, but doesn’t give a lot of reasons for why this should be concerning. To Mark Carney’s credit, we really do have too many government officials, although I would much rather see the government save money by slashing OAS.
