Re: Trudeau, Freeland ‘lost control’ of Canada’s finances: Poilievre, online, Dec 8

The Justin Trudeau government inherited a balanced budget when it came to power in 2015, promising to run only small deficits.

Like every other Trudeau promise, it was quickly broken with massive deficits every year since, while hundreds of billions have been added to the national debt, pushing it over $1 trillion.

This reckless spending included $160 billion on green projects, including rewarding foreign companies to build electric batteries for electric cars that few buy. Several billions have gone into aid abroad.

Canada is in debt because of Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland’s virtue signaling and irresponsible spending that has never been under control since the Liberals came to power.

YOU KEYED, DONALD?

Re: Not scandalous, funny, letter to the editor (Trump teases Canadian takeover with AI illustration), Dec 9

Even more amusingly, President-elect Donald Trump is looking at a mountain in the distance that looks like the Matterhorn, which is part of the border between Switzerland and Italy.

Come on Yanks, it’s time you start laughing at your own lack of due diligence in thinking Canada is a country you can easily pick.

KNOW WHERE THE CITIZENS STAND

What does our federal government care more about? Goods from China delivered through our ports to large companies, or goods for Canadians that matter to them delivered through our postal service?

The government ended the recent strike at our ports in quick time, while the postal strike lasted almost a month before they acted. Keeping countries that interfere in elections happy must mean more to the government than the citizens who vote.

THEY’RE KEEPING HOPE, ARE THEY?

I wonder how many Liberal MPs are already putting together their CVs knowing that after the destruction they and their great leader have done to our country they don’t have a hope in hell of keeping their seats at the next choice?

I guess they’re still holding out hope that Justin Trudeau’s buy-votes scam, saving Canadians 10 cents on a bag of chips for a few months, will save them.
