The Conservatives' budgetary demands include fiction. There are no "hidden taxes" on food. The industrial carbon price doesn't apply to agriculture. There is no "food packaging tax," and plastic regulations largely exempt food packaging. The clean fuel standard "17¢" was one scenario over time. 1/2

Conservatives offered clear, practical solutions to the Liberals so they could deliver an affordable budget for affordable lives. They include:

Bringing down the deficit to the level Liberals promised in their last fiscal update. They promised $42 billion last year—if Carney is truly spending less, the deficit should be lower.
Scrapping hidden taxes on food, including the industrial carbon tax on farmers, the food packaging tax that adds billions in costs, and the fuel standard tax that adds 17 cents per litre to diesel and gasoline for farmers.
Ending the inflation tax by bringing down the cost of government instead of printing money to pay Liberal bills.

I broke things down further here. I'm starting to think we're wrong to even say that Trump's trade negotiations are getting "deals." They're not deals. They're the terms of other countries' economic capitulation. #giftlink Canada is lucky not to have signed! www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Just look at where other countries have ended up. The United Kingdom thought it would gain an advantage by being the first to sign, acquiescing to 10 per cent across-the-board tariffs and a quota on its automobile exports. The Europe Union’s agreement, which even its members seem to hate, was even worse, imposing a 15 per cent tariff rate and a requirement that it buy USD $250 billion in American energy products per year.

As for Japan and South Korea, they negotiated tariff rates ranging from 15 to 50 per cent, but were also expected to cough up huge sums of direct investment — USD $550 billion from Tokyo and USD $350 billion from Seoul. Trump claimed that the deal requires 90 per cent of the profit of that investment remain in America and said he would personally direct the capital.

Trump’s shakedown was effective. French President Emmanuel Macron conceded as much when he declared last month that “to be free, you need to be feared. We were not feared enough.” Instead, they feared being left out — but as Trump himself wrote, showing fear “makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”
