Default Government announcing more spending freebies almost daily now

Freeland today announced a billion dollars over 5 years for a national school food program.

My question is people who are struggling to feed their family after years of liberal governance should now be happy? How many people are registering that nothing is free and this new promise is just compounding onto our deficit and debt and the cost will keep rising.

Wouldn’t the best way to help parents feed their kids is through a sound economy, low debt, an affordable place to live and lower grocery costs by removing extraneous carbon taxes.

They are looking for the low hanging fruit, the people too stupid to realize that they will end up paying for every handout they get.

No matter how much money it throws at people to garner support, the party is over. Most middle run people I run into have come to see what it and its party are doing/have done. Not going to get better for them here on in. They’d be better off just calling the election.

Remember that Trudeau stated at the start of the pandemic "The government is going into debt so that you don't have to go into debt."
Utterly clueless and out of touch with reality!

You can't buy votes without spending the voters money

There you have it: "nothing is free."

I feel sorry for future generations of Canadians.

The problem is not the fools in our government, the problem is the fools that keep voting for them, regardless of what they do.

1 billion Monday
6 billion Tuesday
Another 15 billion today.

“ Continuing his pre-budget spending pledge tour, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising a $15-billion top-up as well as reforms to the federal apartment construction loan program.”

Latest poll has the liberals gaining on the conservatives, I agree an election is on the way. Sadly a lot of Canadians can be bought with their own money.

Yep, classic liberal pre-election tactics. And unfortunately it always works. So many stupid people out there.

Over the last 4 or 5 weeks, I have been collecting signatures for the recall mayor Gondek petition. I knew before hand that many people are apathetic, ignorant and many flat out don't want to know what's happening in the world of politics. WOW, I didn't think there were that many!! Not just the younger generation, but many in the 40 to 70 year range! Lots asking what did she do that was so bad?? Well, 87 billion climate emergency a couple days after being elected and no mention of it during the campaign. Single handedly scuttling the event center deal and having to renegotiate at huge cost to Calgary taxpayers!! 7.8% property tax increase? And the list goes on. Lots of people had no idea, but still wouldn't sign. Some pretty much called me a liar!?

Really was eye opening and makes it believable that the turd could be elected PM again!!

Thank god it’s free money and taxpayers aren’t on the hook for it.

One wants to go to people’s homes that vote liberal and NDP and offer to given them, for free… $10,000 cash. All they need to do is give me $14,000 and by doing this global warming will stop.

You have no idea how inert and uneducated the general population is. They simply have no idea what is going on outside of their house! And they don’t want to know!
I remember one smart guy told me this: thank God for the idiots! It’s not that I’m so smart and talented, it’s just they are so stupid!
