Argus Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 There doesn't seem to be any practical purpose behind the changes in the budget other than to buy votes. Nor is this the extent of what the Liberals will offer for those votes. Clearly they'll be offering up even more 'goodies' in six months. The money to encourage first time home buyers seems particularly odd given the goverment has been trying to cool off the housing market. The rest seems to be a grab bag of things targeted at likely Liberal voters. OTTAWA — The final budget of the Trudeau government’s mandate will scatter billions in fresh spending — on everything from pharmacare to retraining workers to first-time home buyers — as the Liberals commit to an electoral fight that pits their deficit-spending vision versus the Conservatives’ balanced-books approach. Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s budget Tuesday resembled Liberal economic plans that preceded it: the government will exhaust a big windfall, run near-term deficits of about $20 billion and offer no timeline to return to balance. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/newsalert-as-deficit-grows-feds-spend-on-job-retraining-home-incentives/wcm/5f5590d6-7143-4601-8266-afef6ed78305 Today Fitch came out with a warning that it might downgrade Canada's debt. Fitch warns Canada's debt close to level incompatible with 'AAA' status https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/fitch-issues-warning-on-canada-s-debt-1.1232456 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Army Guy Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 What we need is for Canadians to wake up, how liberal Canadians can agree with this non sense is just retarded....Shit even some liberal ministers and caucus members can't swallow it no more...What is it that they see in this party....do they fear the Cons that bad, can they not taste that shit in their mouths, that Justin and his crew of liars and cheats put there every day … I can see why the cons are not that appealing right now....I mean are they really Conservative, I don't think so....they take forever to make a decision, they need to study it, poll it study it again, then create a discussion group to discuss the shit out of it...and then it comes down to what is popular....not what is right, not what has to be done, I thought that was what government should do, what is right for the nation, not what is popular, if that was the case why not set up little voting booths in each house hold , all those in favor say EYYYE, and we could send our entire government home on pension..........Cons are going to give us more of the same liberal shit, and the next 4 years what do we really have to look forward to, reducing Justins budget deficit .....What Canadians should be doing is sending both of these parties a clear message....your done, pack your shit and leave.... Maybe it is time we try another option...anyone but those two..... Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.
