The theme seems to be "reduce operating spending, increase capital spending". We'll see how that will blow over with the opposition.

I remain unconvinced that cuts for austerity purposes are ultimately beneficial, raise taxes on the ultra wealthy instead

never said they would be the sole solution lol.

Okay, so if we're admitting your first plan of tax the wealthy is a little myopic here, which tax breaks are you considering removing? And how will this stop those businesses from instead, setting up shop in a lower tax, lower regulation, larger single market like Americas?

I’d rather not be kissing his ass at all.

How many people should lose their jobs because of your sense of pride? Just curious.

Google won’t leave Canada if we enforce our laws because there are millions of Canadians and they would still make criminal amounts of money.

Read what I wrote about the digital services tax. The concern was not that Google would leave.

And this is why it’s so hard to take centrists seriously

He just descends into mindless sloganning again. Everything I've said can be backed up, whereas your thoughts aren't even consistent in this single thread!

Alright, I see you won't take this seriously, and as such I won't take you seriously. Best of luck to you

Nothing says serious like: "We'll just get the billionaires to pay for it!"

"and if they leave?"

"We don't need them!"

Lol.

Cheers kid.
