Carney said he was going to cut 28b in government spending via AI. If that isn't DOGE in a nutshell I don't know what is.

At the same time we will have nearly double the immigration numbers the Cons want, into an extreme housing shortage. Specifically a 1% cap of 430k, making them the party of cheap corporate labor.

All great things if you own equities and assets, but if you're poor you get a yearly 500$ dental check funded entirely by debt and future austerity, as they've already rolled back the capital gains hikes.
