  1. is JT thinking about monetary policy yet?
    doesn’t seem like the budget is balancing itself anytime soon

  2. This budget is insane. This cannot be sustained. We are condemning future generations to a life of servitude and slavery to a financial mess created by an out of touch, group of politicians who are accountable to no one except themselves.

    1. That’s the end goal. Their close friend Klaus has stated it openly. Eventually you will own nothing and be happy.

  3. The government paid out cerb seamlessly. How did it happen so quickly? Many mistakes have been revealed, the cra must have helped with the cerb program.

  4. Singh talks out both sides of his mouth and can not be trusted. He has ruined his own credibility and that of the entire NDP party.

  5. The federal budget does absolutely nothing other than helping lower income families with dental which is great.
    It would have been better to remove the GST for six months to one year. This would help
    Manufacturing companies, jobs, businesses, etc etc etc

  6. Tax and spend , tax and spend, is why we are in an high inflationary state.
    We need fiscal responsibility. Free market capitalism!

    1. BORROW BORROW BORROW ! This is all on borrowed money from the taxpayer ! One way bankruptcy for this country !

  7. Did someone say the federal Civil service had increased by 27% in 5 years? What will the dollar increase be? What is the pension liability?

  8. Justinflation will remove Trudeau from the PM chair eventually. It’s sad to see how many Canadians will suffer in the meantime.

  9. Mulcair you simply don’t understand basic economics. It is NOT a question of what you would cut. Instead it is about creating the macroeconomic conditions for growth which helps everyone.
