Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his Hail Mary plan to buy votes on Friday, claiming that he’ll “let the bankers worry about the economy.”
Trudeau laid out a plan on Thursday to “give Canadians a real break on everything they do,” by saying he’ll introduce a bill that will pause GST/HST on essential items like groceries and diapers for 60 days starting December 14.
One economist, Dalhousie professor Sylvain Charlebois (aka “The Food Professor”) has predicted this will result in about $25 savings for the average Canadian.
Moreover, come April, Trudeau plans to issue a one-time $250 rebate for working Canadians who earned less than $150k last year, right when the carbon tax is set to raise, which the majority of Canadians support lowering or abolishing altogether.
It remains to be seen what this 60-day pause will do to public-opinion polls, which reveal the majority of Canadians want the Prime Minister to step down before the next election, and have consistently shown for the past 15 months or so his Liberal Party trailing the Conservatives by 15-20 points.
According to Statscan, food is 35% more expensive since Trudeau took office in 2015.
This man does not have a clue. This handout will screw the small business owner who has to pay a tec to rejig his systems, only to rejig them two months later.
You are being conned voters!
makes economic decision then immediately tells us the bankers will worry about the economy. Tell us you’re not smart enough to be making economic decisions without telling us directly you’re not smart enough to be making economic decisions. Canada is Venezuela 2.0
No amount of money will change my negative opinion of the current Marxist regime.
What I see is a financially illiterate Justin Trudeau, and in the background I see four illiterate Liberal MP’s lined up as “yes-men”, aka “empty suits”, and behind them a small crowd of financially illiterate Canadians; a three ring circus. In the third ring at the back, you have the dumb, and in the second ring – the dumber, and in the first ring you have Justin Trudeau – the dumbest.
What’s more, is the Punjab TV reporter’s question was nothing more than a word salad to which Justin Trudeau responded in kind; a word salad exchange.
Thank’s to Justin Trudeau and his history of untethered, child-like spending sprees, and his lock-down of Canada’s ecconomy, (covid hoax) the dollar is hyper inflated and now the average Canadian has a 65% to an 80% debt to income ratio. On top of the financial harm he has already caused everyone, he has added more financial loss by giving everyone a carbon debt to pay. (climate hoax) How does Justin Trudeau’s short term GST reduction help Canadians in any way, shape, or form? A: It doesn’t do a damn thing.
When it comes to the ecconomy, the world of money and finance, Justin Trudeau and Christia Freeland are dumber than a sack of hammers. Justin Trudeau, a former drama teacher, and Christia Freeland, a former Reuters news paper editor; village idiots.
Canadians elected Trudeau in 2015: he is a mirror. Too many Canadians are politically agnostic and do not vote. This is a decades old disconnect. People need to get their act together and pay attention to politics, including protesting, but above all else VOTE like your lives depend on it. Those Liberals are the govt Canada deserves for not participating in the process, imho.
And they’re not “dumb” Harold. They are willful and they’ve been very effective. It’s a mistake to see them as stupid or bumbling. They know what they’re doing.
Sufficient stupidity is indistinguishable from malice
The smell is coming from his rotting brain.
he is so full of he STINKS!!!!!!!!!
