It's Just Money

Justin's "legacy" is debt so severe that our grandchildren will not crawl out from under it:

"We are taking a moment to recognize that the throne speech we delivered eight months ago had no mention of COVID-19, had no conception of the reality we find ourselves in right now. We need to reset the approach of this government for a recovery for a recovery to build back better, and those are big important decisions, and we need to present that to Parliament and gain the confidence to move forward on this ambitious plan," the prime minister stated.

 

Oh, you mean that you want people to forget what a disgusting @$$hole you are?

That will never happen. Even people willing to take hand-outs can't stand you, you lying weasel.

Based on those leaks we should brace for much higher government spending, expanded social programs, new taxes and a real push to shut down Canada’s oil and gas sector.

The government has made clear that “decarbonizing the economy” is one of their goals which effectively means shutting down the oil industry.

“Of course, it has to be part of it,” Trudeau’s new finance minister Chrystia Freeland said when asked if decarbonization was part of the government’s economic plan.

Not surprising given that the Liberals haven’t even walked back from their promise to ban single-use plastics even as their use has shot up as a way to deal with COVID-19.

I think we can also expect the government to lay the groundwork for a universal basic income and pay people not to work rather than get on with the difficult task of creating an economy with jobs for all. Liberal-leaning thinkers have been calling for this to happen since the pandemic broke out.

In another example of Trudeau government cronyism, Trudeau's chief of staff Katie Telford's husband lobbied for changes to government policy so to help his company.

In a bombshell Vice article, journalist Justin Ling detailed how Katie Telford’s husband, Rob Silver, attempted to persuade the former Finance Minister Bill Morneau into changing government policy. Silver has not registered as a lobbyist.

The federal deficit is near $400 billion, seven times the previous record, with proposals by cabinet yesterday to extend new benefits to jobless workers. “Our government has taken on more debt so Canadians didn’t have to,” Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters.
