The budget was pretty limp wristed to begin with. Its an attempt to sway the NDP vote....all its doing is showing how out of touch they are with economics

So what happened to all of this deficit spending being to close the alleged infrastructure deficit?

[Mike K.]

The bigger question is what happened to the US under Trump? Wasn’t he supposed to destroy the US economy, send the markets crashing, wave goodbye to international investment, kill domestic production and send Americans flooding north?

Under Trudeau everything above has materialized in Canada despite the media brainwashing the electorate to think that with the Liberals we couldn’t lose, and to make us feel a little smug, that under Trump there was no future. I guess we can thank American election bots for the latter? I dunno.

Our economy is under-performing, our stock market is unstable, the dollar is weak, international investment is flooding out of our country, domestic production is facing uncertainty, and professional Canadians are once again looking to the US as a place to prosper and build wealth.

How’s that for a dose of reality?

But .... gender Mike! Look what he’s done for peoplekind!

[Mike K.]

Peoplekind in Canada sure love to sexualize a Prime Minister. I hear sales of My Canadian Boyfriend are doing alright.

If you look south you're looking in the wrong direction if you want some examples of how to run a country. Trump is turning the U.S. into a wild west kind of operation. He is taking apart almost all aspects of the federal government. He is removing safeguards for the environment, consumers, children. He is personally enriching himself, making decisions based on what's best for Trump, not the U.S.A. He is fomenting hatred, racism and division. He protects the gun lobby even while making noises about reform. And as a personal example, people look to Trump for his bullying and lying, and think, if it's good enough for the President, I can behave that way too.

 

When we all look back on this episode in U.S. history, those who defended the Trump regime will feel sheepish.

I don't know, if you compare economies at the moment the US is far outpacing Canada.

1) safeguards? Thats laughable. he is removing burdensome regulations on business and massively kickstarting the economy as a result
2) personally enriching? You mean like hilary and the clinton foundation? Care to provide an example that even comes close?
3) the people formenting racial hatred and division are the democrat party and their mainstream media sidekicks. Raical division is practically a campaign platform for them.
4) On control he is proposing common sense stuff. Do you really expect him to repeal the 2a?
5) you think Trump is the first president to bully or bend the truth?

For all the crap Trump has done or failed to do, the one that will matter the most is the one he got done: tax reform.

[sdwright.vic]

And the mid to lower class are beginning to not be so fond of that reform.

Lots of cash bonuses to working class folks as well as pay raises. Fiat just announced they are closing a plant in Mexico and moving to back to Michigan. working class joe's are seeing full employment these days...its borrowing from tomorrow to pay for today but its also a page out of any leftist progressive playbook, 'bribe them with their own money'

[jonny]

Does anybody else follow Maxime Bernier on twitter? He hasn't taken his foot off the gas at all since losing the Conservative leadership bid. Seems to me he is trying to aggressively place himself as the "lost opportunity", better, modern, more aggressive and more fiscally conservative successor to Scheer. If Scheer loses, in 2019, Mad Max could be the shoo in successor.  

[VicHockeyFan]

Yup.

[Mike K.]

Trudeau is off vacationing again. This time in Florida.

How do you know they owed a million? CRA would never give out that info.

Sorry, I just saw this.  CRA gave the info to my lawyer down to the penny owed, I still have it somewhere in my files

[Mike K.]

Lol, you can’t help but laugh at Canada’s response to the US tariffs:

“Canada countered by announcing it would slap an estimated $16.6 billion in duties on some steel and aluminum products and other goods from the U.S., including maple syrup, beer kegs, whisky and toilet paper.”

And pickles! In Wisconsin, Paul Ryan's state. That will show them.

If the trade war drags on, it could give Trudeau the boost he needs to keep a majority despite the prospect of having hostile Premiers all over the country by 2019. Yet another reason to hate Trump...
