FFS can the NDP please quit it with the misinformation campaign please?

They can state their policies without lying. This is fucking gross.

The liberals have released a costed platform and it contains no cuts to health care. This is publicly available.

Carney has spoken many times about the importance of the public health care system and their platform documented highlight this in many places.

Further, this press release misrepresents the role of a board chairperson, calling it “Carney’s company” which is wildly inaccurate. If you’re interested, Wikipedia has a good summary of the role of a board of directors. In no shape or form does it imply the sort of direct involvement in pursuing some privatization agenda as stated in this press release.

Finally, while not outright misinformation this article wildly overstates the importance of this Australian healthcare company to the behemoth that is Brookfield Asset Management. This company was acquired by Brookfield years before Carney joined, and based on the share price at time of acquisition is likely less than 1% of Brookfields holdings.

I have heard it contains $28 billion of unspecified cuts. It's not going to come out of military...
