EDITORIAL: Liberals drowning us in sea of red ink


The verdict is already in when it comes to the release of the Trudeau government’s annual budget on Tuesday — we simply can’t afford the Liberals any longer.

After almost nine years in power, they haven’t come close to balancing a single federal budget, which won’t change when Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland delivers her budget speech in the House of Commons.

Even before the pandemic hit in 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had already abandoned his 2015 election promise to produce a balanced budget in 2019, when he said there would be a $1-billion surplus. Instead, he delivered a $39.4-billion deficit.

Flash forward five years and there’s no balanced budget in sight.

Recent polls by Nanos and Angus Reid found most Canadians surveyed want the feds to reduce spending.

The response from Trudeau and Co. has been the opposite.

They’ve been racing across Canada announcing billions of dollars in new spending prior to Tuesday’s budget on issues such as housing, because of a housing crisis they made worse by massively increasing immigration.

Trying to buy our votes with our money. If this didn't make me so angry it would be laughable.
