As Canada’s Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland prepares to deliver the federal government’s budget next week, new data suggests overwhelming support for the Canada Disability Benefit, a form of financial support for people living with disabilities signed into law last June.
tbf, they’ve done a shit job at the pipeline too.
I don’t think that the federal Liberals choose to be bad at implementation, I think they just do the press release and then lose interest. Pretty much all of their signature policies have suffered implementation fuckups, from the terrible PR for the carbon tax (and the subsequent exemption for heating oil), to the continued existence of the cannabis black market, to the increased immigration numbers.
It’s frustrating, because Trudeau and co talk the talk, but don’t do their homework to get the policies right. Or protectively fix them when fuckups become clear.
