    This paints a picture in direct opposition to the Milei posts yesterday. Which made the situation seem bright.

      You mean the one about the government surplus from the government not doing the things it’s supposed to?

        Stephen Harper did the same thing in 2011. He ran 6 straight years of deficit spending, sold Canada out to Nestle and the gas companies, cut funding to the public sector, and said “wow look at all this money I found! aren’t I the best politician?”

      That was my post. I wanted to post about the poverty rate as well for juxtaposition, but saw that topic was already posted before me so I didn’t.

      I mean we’ve had 4 years now if the situation being “not bright”. Even Milei got elected saying shit will hit the fan. It’s not something new for us down here
