  1. How does that make any sense? We all have to pay for it especially our children. Inflation will rise sharply but we have to do it.

  2. So Trudeau you’re saying we don’t have to pay taxes anymore cuz the government is taking on the debt I’m sure now you don’t know what you’re doing and haven’t known what you been doing since the day you were born

    1. Dave,you got part of the story for sure..stop by my channel and we can hash out the details there..cheers!

  3. We get our money from the magic money tree so Canadians don’t have to pay…

    Take another hit, go put your makeup on, find that cave and don’t ever come out.

    1. If you talk like this. That means you get your money from a job you don’t deserve. Guess what? You might be fired soon…

  4. Creating debt is a form of control to transform a nation through Socialism into Commie!
    Other controls are healthcare, poverty, gun control, welfare, education, religion and class warfare. Look at what is happening during the pandemic lockdown and see if the government miss anything.

  5. Remember this the clown that said budget would balance itself. You hid in your cabin remodeling it with taxpayer $$$$$ and giving money away to other countries and trying to prop up your family until you got busted.

  6. Canadians Chuck on debt you didn’t take anything all you did is make Canada poor that was your job make Canada poor and vulnerable

  7. Canada is the only country that got downgraded in the G7 lie after lie after lie we used to be a proud upcoming country at one time now you have ruined Canada

  8. We took on more debt by printing more money!!!! Justin Trudeau never paid back anything in his life even before the COVID-19.

    1. It’s not printing any more ..just typing nowadays….Stop by my channel brother,i got some info to share..cheers!

    1. @Stan M 3 ethics violations. guilty on SNC and the aga khan trip. but he’s not a crook, right Stan?

  9. Lol so we won’t have to? Let’s wait and see what comes down the line. Morneau and Trudeau will be ringing the tax bell with their hands out. That’s a Promise.

    1. He said we prevented Canadians from having the obligation to use their credit cards. That means it’s only a preventative aspect to your well being. After that, all what posterior to the covid it’s not the federal government problem. There is a financial system established in place and you accepted it if not endorsed it. That remain your problem and your own choices. What he is trying to provide to you is support, a deep attitude to greatness. If you don’t understand this, you don’t deserve to be a Canadian Citizen. And guess what ? You will always continue to pay your monthly little small payment for life, just because you only think about yourself

  10. “We took on debt, so Canadians wouldn’t have to”. Thank you Liberal party for being so generous and taking care of the bar bill.

  11. Terrible idea to spend $300 Billion without any warning. Canada’s credit rating downgraded just weeks ago. Worst unemployment rate in G7. You didn’t buy my vote.

    1. Really? If you just go back a 3 decades to analyze, you would find that you have spent more than 17 trillions for terrible ideas.
