Here's a little reality check. And, to be clear, I'm going to attempt to be non-partisan right now.
Regardless of who forms a government, spending is almost certainly going to go up. We're in a stupid trade war with the US, and this means that several industries are going to be hit hard by this....like the steel/aluminum and car part makers. What this means is, the government (again, regardless if its Lib or Con) will likely need to implement some sort of support to ensure we do not lose these vital jobs. How will this all shake out? Hard to say.
Now, taking off the non-partisan hat, Pierre Poilivere's platform is...well...interesting. I'm sure there are many who LOVE the idea of a referendum to raise taxes...I am not a fan. I mean, I'm also not a big believer in certain tax cuts. And lord knows, I pay a lot in taxes....But, I view them as the entry fee for civilization. I know many of you do not agree with that. You cut taxes, it doesn't mean you'll see an increase in government revenue, which means PP and the Cons will likely be forced to cut social programs in some fashion. And, in times of crisis, who will happily vote for a tax increase? The reality here is that we elect our representatives to make those decisions. And, how costly and belaboured would a referendum be?
Plus, we know he's going to want to slash the CBC...But, that would be horrible since the majority of the media in Canada is foreign owned. News covering is expensive, and believe me when I say the CBC could likely be more efficient, but they cover stories across the country that PostMedia or CTV do not. And, in this day and age of fake news and bullshit reports that take over social media like wild fire, it is more vital now than ever.
