Cabinet ministers told to find ‘ambitious’ savings by end of summer (www.theglobeandmail.com)

Federal cabinet ministers are being asked to find ... ways to reduce program spending by 7.5 per cent in the fiscal year that begins April 1, 2026, followed by 10 per cent in savings the next year and 15 per cent in the 2028-29 fiscal year.

I'm getting 90s vibes. Government cutbacks, threats of separation, climate change. It's all here.

But there's a modern twist: we're talking about 3C change in 2100, there's a housing crisis, our media landscape is dominated by tech bros, and the US is lost in the culture wars.

I suspect if you polled the Carney voters from the last election, all but the NDP/Green ABC-crowd would be fine with these policies.

Ironically, many of the voters worried about the collapsing middle class (in the form of stagnating wages and the housing crisis) probably went with the CPC.
