To no one’s surprise, there will be a “middle-class” tax cut. There will be more action on climate change. There will be a “walk” along “the road of reconciliation” with Indigenous Peoples. Illegal guns will be made illegaller. If you loved the Grit platform, you’ll love it even more in speech form.
Not that Trudeau has completely ignored the West. “Today’s regional economic concerns are both justified and important,” Payette told parliamentarians. “The government will work with provinces, territories, municipalities, Indigenous groups, stakeholders, industry, and Canadians to find solutions,” she added. The 112 words of explanatory bafflegab that follow, however, show this government still doesn’t have a scooby about how to get on with doing just that.
Indeed, the government will keep going green but will work “just as hard” to “get Canadian resources to new markets, and offer unwavering support to the hardworking women and men in Canada’s natural resources sectors, many of whom have faced tough times recently”. So that’s that, then. I can hear Jason Kenney downing tools already.
