OK whoever wrote the Canadian federal budget doesn’t actually understand what gender and diversity is Are exporters the gender part? Maybe customs brokers are diverse, compared to financial institutions?
Absolutely nothing in the Canadian federal budget on foreign affairs or development. Nothing. I have not seen a federal budget in 20+ years without aid spending figures Apparently some of this will come in the foreign policy review next month. But likely not spending figures.
By 2030, 35% of all Canadian government spending will be defence and debt servicing costs Core defence spending will more than double from $44bn this year, to $99bn in 4 years. You do not find an extra $58bn over four years down the back of the couch.
Canada federal budget: The GBA+ analysis is now a separate document and you see why. The dots are men. The upwards triangles are high income. Two triangles is very high income The “Benefits of AI for All” strategy does not actually benefit all
The reason people get so irate about aid spending being vague or non-existent in the budget is because it’s $10-13bn annually with no budget disclosed going forward. No projections. And spending only reported 2 years after No other sector would accept that lack of transparency

(Justin Tang, Spencer Colby) The Canadian Press / Ana Luisa O.J.
Ever the savvy political operator, Prime Minister Mark Carney has found a new mark to use against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre—and another Conservative happy to comply for reasons of his own.
This time, it’s a big feather in his cap: not just an Erin O’Toole or a Chris d’Entremont but the Conservative base’s beloved Saint Stephen Harper figuratively crossing the floor and handing Carney another opportunity to undermine the Conservative leader. In Harper’s favour, he might finally be getting the legacy he’s wanted. Unfortunately for Poilievre, it appears to be arriving at his expense.
For more than a decade, Harper’s main role in Canadian political memory has been to serve as the boogeyman Justin Trudeau supposedly rescued us from. Harper wasn’t just a former prime minister whose record was open to debate. He was the monster under the progressive bed, often accused of pulling strings from retirement whenever a Conservative stepped up to the microphone.
This is where Carney enters the story. Harper wants recognition as a respected former prime ministerHarper does not fucking deserve any kudos, he’s chair of the Nazi worshipping, democracy-destroying, authoritarian as their religion-worshipping IDU, and Carney understands the political value of providing it. Whatever Harper’s private motives, the arrangement offers him something Poilievre can’t easily supply: recognition and approval from the same political establishment that spent years vilifying him.
Opposition to Harper became a powerful organizing force in the 2015 election. Strategic voting wasn’t new, but efforts to unite voters behind whichever candidate had the best chance of defeating a Conservative became a defining feature of the campaign. For much of the left, the priority wasn’t simply electing Trudeau. It was removing Harper from office.
He’d committed the usual assortment of progressive sinsidentical things Carney is doing and has been doing since day one, including his first act to decimate women’s programs, the first thing Harper did too): cuts to scientific and environmental programs, fiscal restraint, and a failure to show Ottawa the affection it felt it deserved. Then, during the election campaign, came the proposed “barbaric cultural practices” tip line—a contribution from his own campaign to the case against him.
Canadians were to be given a way to report practices such as forced marriage and honour-based violence. Those are serious problems, but the obvious question was why conduct already covered by criminal law needed to be packaged as a special category of culturally exotic wrongdoing. Canada already had police, abuse hotlines, and a substantial problem protecting people from violence inside their own homes. Was the missing ingredient really the word “barbaric”?
In a multicultural country, it wasn’t difficult to predict how that would land. Plenty of voters heard something less like “we’re going to protect vulnerable women” and more like “we’ve established a dedicated complaints department for your relatives to call in about you.” Whatever its intended purpose, the proposal became a campaign gift to Harper’s opponents.
Harper then lost his majority to Trudeau, a comparatively inexperienced politician whose résumé wasn’t exactly buckling under the weight of executive achievement. Legalizing marijuana certainly helped Trudeau sell the promise of a younger, less uptight country. Canadians also wanted a broader change after nearly a decade of Harper. Trudeau offered it, with a carefully cultivated image that often did more work than his policies.
Harper stepped down as Conservative leader after the election defeat but remained a convenient reference point for Liberals looking to warn voters about his successors. He was still mentioned but often as someone “lurking” behind the Conservative Party, as though he spent retirement in a revolving chair stroking a cat. It wasn’t a hard sell.Harper is vastly and deeply hated in Canada, and will be to the end of time. Carney will be too, once Canadians take their rose-tinted glasses off and see the Harper monster they voted into power again.
Harper didn’t have Brian Mulroney’s personalitywhat personality? Mulroney had none. He was disgusting pro genocide smelly crook or the same collection of unmistakable legacy projects. Mulroney left office deeply unpopular and later carried the baggage of scandal, but his reputation also had room for affection, friendships, and consequential achievements. Free trade, later expanded through the North American Free Trade Agreement, was something concrete to point toIt destroyed much of Canada, and put endless Canadian workers out of work. Nothing to be proud of, Mulroney the ugly traitor betrayed us to the fucking American Nazis. Even Meech Lake remained a major national undertaking rather than a vague recollection that the government had once seemed reasonably normal.
Harper’s popular legacy was harder to summarize beyond “Good with the purse strings”He was terrible with purse strings. Billions of dollars vanished under Herr Hideous Harper, and he massively ate the surplus left to him, and ballooned the debtand “Remember when the prime minister didn’t behave like that?” Those aren’t worthless political assets, but they aren’t quite the same thing as having reshaped the country. And the purse-string story itself deserves a little more scrutiny than the Saint Stephen fan club generally permits.
This won’t endear me to Harper’s fan club, but Canada’s economic weaknesses didn’t begin when Trudeau took office. Our productivity and investment problems have been developing for decades, particularly compared with the United States. Invoking the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development can make the comparison sound comfortably international, but the giant economy next door remains the benchmark we can’t ignore.
Jean Chrétien’s government, with Paul Martin at finance, actually did balance the budget and substantially reduce federal program spending as a share of the economy. There’s a difference between federal program spending and total social spending, so those figures shouldn’t be casually swapped around, but the fiscal turnaround was real. Canada moved from substantial deficits to surpluses, with a greater emphasis on getting its financial house in order and benefiting from export-led growth.
Then the commodity boom gave us a very Canadian opportunity: enjoy the proceeds and postpone the unpleasant conversation about what else the economy should be doing. Resource wealth helped support the broader economy while governments continued making spending commitments, provinces borrowed, and equalization remained part of the machinery holding the federation together. Harper ran deficits too, most notably through the financial crisis and its aftermath. and, the fucker tried to deregulate the banks to copy the horrific subprime mess in the USA, fortunately for Canadians we had a strong enough opposition that was much smarter than Harper, to prevent him from his gory plans. I fear tremendously that Harper will order Carney to deregulate our banks, so as to steal the pensions, investments and savings of ordinary Canadians to give to the American rich. The idea that the entire period was one long exercise in balanced-budget discipline is a retrospective improvement on the original product.
We became increasingly comfortable with an economy in which consumption and housing could do the heavy lifting while productive business investment received less attention than it needed. That isn’t the same as saying nothing useful was built under Harper, or that he personally caused every weaknesshe fucking did. It means that being prime minister during a commodity boom isn’t proof you built the economic engine.
Then oil crashed, and the cushioning became considerably less comfortable. Statistics Canada has documented a decline in business investment per worker between 2006 and 2021, particularly following the commodity-price collapse that began in 2014. but but but the angry stupid rural Albertans and their lying hate and rage farming politicians said Trudeau destroyed the oil and gas industry while he was PM (he didn’t become PM until 2015)! All by himself.The OECD has likewise identified weak capital investment and an excessive orientation toward real estate as part of Canada’s productivity problem. These troubles have a history longer than Trudeau’s premiership.
In that sense, there’s even a cheeky argument one can make that Trudeau was more honest than Harper. He wasn’t going to fix the underlying problem, but at least his political sales pitch didn’t require pretending oil would keep paying for free stuff forever. We can laugh now at the notion that legal weed might provide an inexhaustible revenue fountain, but he understood that the economy outside Calgary wasn’t necessarily experiencing the glorious prosperity Conservatives kept describing.
Then there’s Harper’s institutional legacy, which doesn’t fit particularly well with the image of a ruthless Conservative mastermind. Judicial vacancies and appointments matter long after a government leaves office. Harper appointed Richard Wagner to the Supreme Court; Trudeau later made him chief justice. Conservatives who hold Wagner responsible for the court’s progressive direction should also ask what Harper’s appointment strategy achieved.
The Senate presents another uncomfortable example. Harper’s decision to leave vacancies unfilled gave Trudeau a substantial opportunity to shape the institution after taking office. Whatever the rationale at the time, that wasn’t exactly a durable Conservative foothold. If you’re supposedly the Machiavellian architect of a right-wing takeover, leaving your successor a collection of empty chairs seems an unusual opening move.
The media story is similarly awkward for anyone claiming Harper established lasting Conservative influence. Sun News failed to secure the mandatory carriage arrangement it sought from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and later folded. Its owner, Pierre Karl Péladeau, asked Harper to intervene, and he declined. Meanwhile, CBC subsidies increased, leaving Conservatives with little to show for Harper’s years in power on that front. Harper’s years in office didn’t leave Canada with a durable Conservative television counterweight to its established broadcasters.Ya, but he evilly slithered in extreme con, Rebel lying propaganda not news, which is much worse
For many conservatives, what remained was a mental photograph of Harper in a cardigan, accompanied by the caption: “Remember when Canada was normal? That was thanks to him.” But the country had been recognizably normal under several prime ministers from different parties. Harper didn’t invent ordinary Canadian life, and Trudeau didn’t abolish it on day one.
Harper was therefore left with an odd combination: a relatively bland public legacy and an extravagantly sinister reputation.
The left had cast him as a dark Conservativecreepy evangelical traitorous deeply hated goongenius, while his actual record often looked more likevanishing public money, selling off/giving away vital Canadian services/public infrastructure serving the rich and irresponsible massive deregulation serving mostly American oil and gas polluters cautious management with several important opportunities left on the table. He was carrying the villain’s reputationbecause he was and remains a villain without having enjoyed anything like the villain’s supposed accomplishments.
Carney, meanwhile, has a sharp eye for a mark—and for whatever ambition, vanity, or grievance will make that person useful to him. He knows how to turn what another politician wants into an advantage for himself. He may have been new to elected politics, but he was hardly new to powerful rooms or to figuring out what the person across the table wanted badly enough to give him something in return.Herr Nasties, Carney and Harper, are besties from way back
Two areas have given the Conservatives particularly obvious openings against him. The first is the United States. Carney sold Canadians on his ability to manage US president Donald Trump and secure a workable trading relationship, and the difficulty of delivering on that promise hasn’t vanished because the negotiations turned ugly.No, Carney eagerly serves the Nazi Trump Pedo Regime. He lied to us all and betrayed Canada and all non con, non rich Canadians, our climate, resources, land, water and air, to invade our communities with health destroying, water guzzling, polluting toxic ugly noisy Nazi American billionaire tech and data centres, destroying our privacy and charter rights in the process
There’s a perfectly reasonable argument that Trump isn’t interested in a fair, stable arrangement and that no Canadian prime minister could manufacture one by being sufficiently clever. The American administration’s stated lack of urgency about reaching a deal certainly strengthens that argument. But Conservatives can still point out that Carney campaigned on being the man equipped to handle precisely this problem. “The task turned out to be impossible” may be an explanation; it isn’t the product they advertised via Carney during the election.Ya, but, Carney makes no pretense of serving Canada or her citizens. He serves the rich, mostly American Nazis. Besides, we have a fucking deal with USA that Trump demanded and signed in his first fucking term. Mobsters like Trump, especially extremely stupid ones like Trump, never keep their word, but, Carney still tried to help the orange crook in the midterms, by publicly stating he and Trump had good chat, with deal around the corner. Fucking traitor
The second vulnerability is major projects. Announcing that something has been green-lit is one achievement; getting it financed, approved, built, and operating is another. Canada has spent years perfecting the administrative art of making a large undertaking pass through enough layers that everyone involved can retire before the ribbon needs cutting.
Look at health care. Canadians endure crowded emergency departments, prolonged waits, and recurring stories of people dying after struggling to obtain timely treatment, yet substantial reform remains politically agonizing. The system is so bureaucratic that patients die in front of health care workers while waiting their turn for treatment, and no one can do anything about it.Herr Carney is deliberately destroying our public health care by defunding it 50B dollars so as to give our health care money to American military, American AI, American oil and gas.
If we struggle this much to reform institutions people depend on to stay alive, skepticism about suddenly clearing the bureaucratic runway for major infrastructure isn’t unreasonable. We’re willing to tolerate extraordinary dysfunction in an ER waiting room, but apparently a new office and a press conference are going to make the rest of government move at industrial speed.
Carney benefits enormously from having recognizable Conservatives beside him on these issues. Lisa Raitt, Erin O’Toole, and James Moore are part of the trade delegation, and all three agree with his approach. Their support gives Carney Conservative credibility and complicates Poilievre’s effort to draw a clean partisan line: prominent figures from his own party are standing with Carney.
Getting Harper’s support is a different order of prize. At September’s investment summit in Toronto, Harper backed the decision to walk away from the American trade talks and supported Carney’s direction on regulatory reform. That doesn’t mean Harper has become a LiberalFFS!!!!! Herr Carney is no Liberal, never has been, never will be. He’s a Harper con, a Nazi authoritarian destroying Canada for his American masters, or that he’s certified every announcement as a completed project. It does mean Poilievre now has to criticize Carney’s approach while the most recognizable Conservative prime minister of the recent past lends important parts of it credibility.
Carbon capture doesn’t work, it has literally never worked.

For Harper, the summit provides a much more flattering setting than another appearance as the ghost allegedly haunting Conservative headquarters. He gets to stand before investors and political leaders as a prestigioushumiliated, detested, pro genocide Nazi Zionist crooked piece of shit, who tried but failed to kill Canada’s Public Health Care former prime minister whose judgment is stupidlysought and welcomed. He can remind the country that things were better before Trudeau, enjoy a little “I told you so,” and avoid dwelling on his own role in handing Trudeau a majority government.
There’s a reputational dividend too. After years of being cast as the villain of Canadian politics, Harper can now be presented as a responsible elderhated by not only Canadians but the world for the many harms he forced on us all serving his own personal evil fucking rape religionstatesman contributing tonothing bug harm to the many while enriching the evil fewa national effort. And if he’s lurking, he’s lurking behind everyone’ssoon to be most hated after Harper favourite prime minister.Carney is no favourite, he’s a con man, who lied to and fraudulent ran as a Liberal when he’s nothing but also a crook serving the rich, and a Harper con.
Carney gets another feather for a cap that’s beginning to look like it belongs in a theatrical production. Floor crossers, co-operative Conservative premiers, former leaders, former ministers—and now Saint SatanicHarper himself. Every such appearance makes it harder for Poilievre to insist that Carney’s direction is obviously unacceptable to serious Conservatives.Pee Pee plays a vital repugnant role in Carney’s theft and destruction of Canada, finishing off what Harper failed to. Pee Pee grosses the majority of Canadians out, thus voting for the more evil con man, Carney.
Harper’s backing on US relations and major projects gives Carney a strong political advantage: Poilievre is attacking policies that a former Conservative prime minister publicly supports. Harper gets recognition as an elder crook who wants to turn Canada extremely religious and American MAGAT Repuglicanstatesman, Carney getsaway with his many cruel crimes against Canada, Canadians and a livable climateConservative credibility, and Poilievre has to explain why his objections should carry more weight than Harper’s endorsement.
For years, Harper was cast as a cold, controlling prime minister who left the country divided and handed it over to Trudeau.Harper still is cold evil rotten corpse, with Carney quickly rotting with himCarney has offered him a route from political villain toNetanyahu idolizing pro genocide ugly old religious bigoted misogynistic hate-filled white religious man still hated by the world. I bet Harper will be hated to his death, and long beyond, with Carney achieving the same vile legacy of being hated (once Canadians and others globally wake up from the con Carney put on them)respected elder statesman, publicly helpingsell outCanada confronttothe US rich Nazisand get major projects builtwhich will banktrupt our country and sicken Indigenous and ordinary Canadian families. Harper gets his reputationworsened, covered in corrupt Carney slime rehabilitated; Carney gets to destroy Canada pleasing himself, Harper and their rich ugly American Nazi friends, notably Trump et alhis endorsement; Poilievre pays the political bill. The wily operator has identified Harper’s appetite for a better legacy and made the price of admission a public endorsement that undermines his own party’s leader.
If Poilievre’s wife, Ana, starts posting an AI rap video with Carney, we’ll know this has gone too far. Until then, Poilievre has a problem: every time he tells Canadians Carney is taking the country in the wrong direction, Carney can point to Harper standing beside him.
