....but, the infrastructure spending is necessary because we're behind on it. we need the work done. and, it's what a government does.
the government should probably be aligning it's messaging with it's actual analysis, so as to create a proper set of expectations. and, fwiw, this isn't actually a partisan issue up here in canada, either.

again: the media in canada is very right-wing. all they want to talk about is the budget, and they want to frame every issue in terms of budget expenses. there was an important infrastructure announcement today, but all the media wants to talk about is how much it cost for the ministers to travel and do promotional work.
i frankly don't care how much these things cost. but, if i did, i'd hardly even find what's been reported upsetting. it's just this constant dull narrative of expense accounting. and, it's directed at baby boomers.
i really think that he needs to do everything he can to not just reject this narrative but make moving past it an issue of generational overturn.
the minister needs to get around. no, she's not going to take the bus. get over it.
