So Dougie is off to sell his pal Carney on the need to lower taxes. I’d prefer if he’d lobby for spending cuts instead, but he obviously thinks that out of control borrowing is somehow stimulative.
Ford says he’ll travel to Ottawa for what he calls a “heart-to-heart” meeting with Carney, who he says is doing a good job.
At end of the day, however, apparently there’s no ill that can’t be fixed with zero percent interest.
Speaking at an unrelated announcement today in Windsor, Ont., Ford also urged the Bank of Canada to lower interest rates.
There was a time in the not so distant past when it would have been seen as contrary to the dignity of a head of government to make themselves available to be photographed with sex fetishists. This event crystallizes a longer term process of subversion that has over time eroded away that prior understanding of appropriate boundaries. Now it’s the politician who would withhold himself from such displays who is under suspicion of insufficient inclusivity.
