Ottawa, ON – After nine years of Justin Trudeau, his Liberal government is not worth the cost. Trudeau’s inflationary spending and taxes have driven up the cost of everything. Housing costs have doubled, and a record two million Canadians had to use a food bank in a single month last year.
Despite his record of failure, Trudeau has doubled down on the same spending that has caused so much misery in the first place, pouring even more fuel on the inflationary fire and driving up interest rates. And after telling Canadians that his government was adding $57 billion in new inflationary spending, the Parliamentary Budget Office has confirmed today that the number is even higher, at $61.2 billion.
This means that Trudeau’s spending is now costing the average family $3,687 in new government debt and inflationary spending. And for the first time in a generation, Canada is now spending more on debt interest than on health transfers.
Canadians deserve a government that will cap the spending to lower inflation and interest rates. Instead of giving money to bankers and bondholders, we should be investing in our doctors and nurses. Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost.
Only Common Sense Conservatives will cap the spending, fix the budget and bring home lower prices for all Canadians.
