I'm going to break my own rule to never start a sentence with, "as a boomer". But as a boomer, I've done well. Yes, I've worked hard, mostly succeeded at what I wanted to do, had a good and satisfying career and was able to retire fairly comfortably. But I don't kid myself. I

Journalist Joe Warmington: “This report from (Carney’s) PCO..is the most negative thing, in my 40 years as a journalist, that i have ever heard about Canada” Pierre: “Why is this not blazing across the front pages of every news outlet in the country right now?”

Still a lot to unpack from the CPC platform, but one thing that immediately jumps out is that their costing is much more transparent and honest (read: responsible) Contrary to the liberal costing plan, there are actual detailed numbers and breakdowns. To me, it shows effort was

I love that the CPC costing plan was audited by two individuals who have impeccable credentials - a former Chief Economic Analyst at Stat Can and a former Associate Deputy Minister at Finance. Still looking for who audited the liberal plan.
