    1. @Fly with me no chance, u might aswell vote liberal if ur voting ndp, conservative is are only hope.

    2. ​@JonTheGOD 21Get stuffed, you want to pay more taxes vote conservative. Vote NDP for a better Canada 🇨🇦.

  1. No kidding. If one borrows all this money, it increases the money in circulation and the fed balance sheet becomes even bigger. That means more inflation and more interest rate hikes. At some point the country will capitiulate.

    1. ​@@PrettyPink🌸Dispute any of his points if you can? And quit acting like a child with your post

  2. Even so-called higher income families who will not benefit from the grocery credit are losing money every month because of the high living cost and tax hikes… so-called middle income families will soon be low income families…

    1. You’re not kidding, I made $48 k last year but still almost lost my house due to interest rates, my mortgage payment doubled.

    2. The liberal platform is basically a whole bunch of strings on pulleys that all end up pulling the same string. Its a bunch of complicated nonsense. Specially that carbon tax. It like pulling a string to make everything more expensive then they pull another string to give a rebate. Then pull another string to take away that rebate. Really cute games right?

  3. Everytime Trudeau says “we will be there for Canadians” I think yeah but they really wish you weren’t. Like the creepy uncle standing behind you

  4. Canadians: “I want affordable housing, groceries, heating, gas, and electricity”
    Freeland: “dental benefits! and carbon taxes” 😑

    1. You can. Only difference is you will have to pay your bills. Government doesn’t pay for anything, we do!

  5. The governor general bill to travel to Germany for 4 days was 700k.Why the high cost ?also Trudeau vacation to Jamaica is billed to the taxpayers why? what was the cost?

  6. Maybe all MP’s should refuse the pay raise April 1st too.
    It’s not like any of them deserve a raise.

  7. Ridiculous if you make over $60,000 pay the most taxes and never see a break. But if your a lazy mo fo using the system you got it made. Everything offered for free incentives etc. Why would they want to work. The stupidity of these budgets is mind numbing.

    1. So true. But I could not live with myself if I was dependent on the government instead of taking my responsibilities. We need to go back to the values of older generations. Hard work, Honor respect integrity – we don’t see much of that today.

  8. No level of inflation is ever going to be too high for someone that’s never been in the real world.

    1. Section 11, Constitution Act 1982, I think you just broke it, which is a chargeable offence. presumed guilt. You skirt it by making it seem like you could be talking about yourself too, if you’re a bot.

    2. Yup, for example Pierre has been a lifelong politician since graduating Uni and never had a real job in his life.

    3. I know, Pollievre has never even held a real job in his life. I love how those conservative values he holds didn’t extend far enough to refuse the free housing he gets in Stornaway. I remember the days when at least conservatives TALKED about selling the place and getting an apartment like any canadian would do. Then of course once they got some power that went out the window.

  9. If I didn’t buy the local AM radio broadcast of the Ottawa political show and its expert and I don’t, why would I buy what these guys had to say after he spoke to Earth?
    I don’t.
    Without a living wage, I can’t buy anything.

  10. Anyone aware or know if Freeland kept her $2-15 BILLION slush fund in the new budget? The money meant to invest in a company that doesn’t exist yet with ZERO oversight. I know a senator or maybe it was an MP from Newfoundland called her out on in front of a committee. Just wondering if she managed to keep it in the budget.

  11. Liberal answer to the MOST EXPENSIVE Era in Canadian history: raise taxes and create more inflation by running a HUGE unnecessary budget. It’s time for a change.

  12. I’m so glad a Russian language major is in charge of our finances.
    She really knows how to mange the books.
