The Liberal Strategy Nobody Was Supposed to Notice
from Tap The Maple · host Hosted By Chris Baker
Mark Carney and the Liberal government are flooding Canadians with strategies, spending announcements, international partnerships and promises of economic transformation. But where are the documents Canadians need to verify any of it?Ottawa has not released the complete American trade offer it rejected before asking Canadians to prepare for sacrifice and economic pain. The RCMP has refused to release its policing memorandum with China. Meanwhile, leading economists and the Parliamentary Budget Officer have raised serious concerns about transparency surrounding federal spending.Former TD chief economist Don Drummond has worked around government budgets since 1977. His assessment was extraordinary: he has never seen such a lack of transparency.This episode examines the political strategy known as “flooding the zone”—overwhelming the public with so many announcements that nobody has enough time to investigate what happened to the previous promise.The pattern is becoming impossible to ignore:Flood the zone with announcements.Withhold the documents.Demand the sacrifice.Blame the chaos.Are Canadians watching genuine economic transformation—or a communications strategy designed to make government activity feel like government accomplishment?Because announcements are not outcomes. Motion is not progress. And patriotism should never require Canadians to stop asking for receipts.#cdnpoli #canada #canadian #canadalife #markcarney #liberal #conservative #canadianpolitics #canadiannews #canadanews #canadapolitics #political #politics #news #politicalcommentary #chaostheory #floodthezone #tapthemaple #bakesonthings #canadavlogs #canadavlog
