It's actually the best time for them to cut glut and talk to Canadians about "sacrifice" and accepting a lower quality of life temporarily.
They have Trump to blame all our ills on and to use as the big villain to rally against.
Imagine the current Liberal government trying to basically sell the idea of austerity successfully if there was no Trump.
So trump forcing fiscal discipline on other nations?

I don't know about other nations that's one way to see it with Canada to a degree lol
I mean the budget was still huge but had almost nothing for the Green zealots. He's been stealing ideas from Conservatives since the campaign (including cutting carbon tax).
Shit would never fly normally but because they tapped into the collective TDS a they could frame it as a sacrifice to win the war/beat Trump. Whether that's even possible or not, the average ElbowsUp vooter actually believes it.
POV: the average Carney voter putting their green, anti-austerity principles aside after being a hardass about them for a decade
Remember they said carbon tax wasn't a real tax and actually created wealth. Carney cut it because it's "too divisive". In other words it's time to come together to fight big bad orange evil.
