Morneau's Money Show – Act 1 Trudeau's preamble was over dramatized with soothing voice, wide eyes and small smiles overdone with the usual drama class moves. He gushed how he had “helped Canada's most vulnerable” no fewer than 8 times; most seriously stated that the provinces had to spend Child Care $'s where he said and bragged about the money he had given to a credit card company to “help”. I've seen better High School performances. Morneau's snapshot of the economic update was referred to as an “Economic Selfie” from across the way. Best description I heard, had about the same depth and meaning. Unfortunate that the only numbers mentioned were ratings of 2 /10. The usual bobbing heads were choreographed in the background and nodded on cue, but lacked sincerity in their performance. As is normal, the Libs asked Libs loaded questions to allow the party to wax poetic and burn up time without actually saying anything useful. If they needed to add fluff to the show, they would be better to add real information to answer questions. Instead Patti Hadju stated seniors should remain in their homes for as long as possible without offering any real support for them to do so. Bill Blair and Bardish Chagger tried to lay the blame for their problems at the feet of Harper's government again. That ship of state sailed long ago, get with the times. The Liberals started with a balanced budget and stable economy. They now have Trillion dollar deficit in 5 years and a downgraded credit rating. Yep, that makes for a real snapshot of the budget. Definitely helps our most vulnerable Canadians a lot. 0 Stars for this performance. Can only hope this show has a very limited run.
