Mark Carney worked for the Harper government, then went to the UK to work under Cameron, Truss and Boris Johnson, another IDU government. He was bragging Harper wanted to make him his Finance Minister. Why does the red team think the IDU's favourite banker is one of theirs? 😄

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.

“privatization doesn’t mean prices will go up,” they told us last week. but of course they will, and they’re starting to have to admit it. the reason why investors are so desperate to get our airports is precisely because they know they’ll be able to make monopoly profits.

“[It] will increase the amount of assets covered from roughly 15% of assets to more than 65%… Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment will fall from roughly 13% to 6.4% - the lowest of any major economy in the world and less than half the rate in the United States.” BAD.
Today, at the first Canada Investment Summit, Prime Minister Carney announced that the federal government is building on that success with the new Productivity Mega Deduction.
This game-changing new tax incentive will increase the amount of assets covered from roughly 15% of assets to more than 65%, including fibre-optic cable, mining property, oil and gas pipelines, software, research and development, computer equipment, aircraft and vehicles, patents, rail track, bridges, and roads.
To reinforce Canada's tax advantage, the federal government is also making immediate expensing permanent so businesses can recover these costs sooner. This will lower the after-tax cost of investing and boost capital investment across Canada. As a result, Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment will fall from roughly 13% to 6.4% - the lowest of any major economy in the world and less than half the rate in the United States.
