Key Insights
Economic Concerns

- 💸The deficit increase under Carney's spending spree will result in interest on national debt reaching $70 billion by 2029-2030, surpassing the $65 billion Canada Health Transfer, prioritizing payments to bankers over healthcare funding.
Political Controversies

Governance Issues
- 🏛️ Carney's cabinet and advisers face multiple conflicts of interest, including the public safety minister's recusal from two terror entities and Carney's own undisclosed conflicts.
- 📉 The failure to address the economic crisis and continued spending under Carney's guidance is expected to worsen the situation dramatically in the coming months, potentially leading to calls for his resignation.
