A developing story that will likely be updated as more details become available.
As always some good things and some questionable things, mostly because the wording is bit vague.

Wording is a bit 'Liberal'.

What I meant is this for example:
$1:
$359.2 million over five years to combat the opioid crisis by renewing Canada's drug and substances strategy.
Which sounds good, as Lord knows the opioid crises is awful, but what is the plan to combat it and how will these huge funds be used? Will the many organizations and levels of government involved stop finger pointing at each other and actually DO something or will more money be pissed away by "committees" studying the issue? More details to come I'm sure.

That's what I mean; wording. Liberal = vague.
Same with the green initiatives. Tax credit for new development. In what? Europe will ban the sale of gas engines after 2035. What are we doing? Tax credits to mine minerals?

The YT comment section never disappoints. You would think the entire nation is rising up with pitchforks. It's no wonder the convoy idiots thought the whole country was behind them.

Gotta agree with Andrew again. Subsidies beget subsidies. That's why we keep giving money to the most profitable industry in history, oil and gas.
