Never underestimate the stupidity of the woke/liberal/ndp, they are easily bought with their own money.

I wonder how many billions will be handed out or contingent on the election before an election is called. Trudeau, will likely double the debt in order to win.

And many people are not smart enough to be concerned about the debt, and the huge amount we pay every year in payments on the debt.

Absolutely. People can't understand the difference between a million, a billion, or a trillion.

A Million
about 39.89 cubic feet
It would take about 39.89 cubic feet to house a million dollars in one dollar bills. Source: According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing : “Our present sized currency measures 2.61 inches wide by 6.14 inches long, and the thickness is . 0043 inches.

A Billion
1 billion dollars in 100 dollar bills is 10 million individual bills. A single brand new bill is 0.0043 inches thick, so that would be a single pile of bills that is 43000 inches thick, which is he same as 3584 feet, or a pile that is 0.68 miles tall.

A Trillion
One trillion U.S. dollars in $100 notes would be 678 miles high. If they were 1 dollar bills, it would be 67,800 miles high.

$50 Billion++. More than most social programs, and militarily budgets.

As I am about to renew a mortgage, I want lower interest rates, but would gladly pay an additional .25-.5% to see Tiff Macklin raise rates and flat out say its Trudeau’s fault with this new budget.

Half don't understand or speak English (or French) and half of the other half don't care. I'm exaggerating the numbers maybe a little but just to make a point.

Let’s get the election over with sooner than later if that’s the plan, so we can start the healing process

Trouble is, the damage done is across all Western Democracies that have been hijacked by the "Woke" Agenda.

What you have to remember, is that when World Leaders go to hang out whether it is at a UN Function, a G7 - G20 Function, or a World Economic Forum Function, they all posture how great their Socialist Agendas are, forcing fools like Trudeau to agree, and then try to take their Social Justice Warrior attitude to the next level of stupidity,

Western Democracies where able to get away with insane budget spending when Interest Rates were at near ZERO percent levels. Now, the National Budgets of All Democratic Nation are being spent to pay the Interest on the Debts wracked up. The Healing process involves dumping these Socialist Agendas World Wide, and paying the Debt.

The COST OF Debt Servicing is the Answer to a Liberal Campaign based on a hand out Budget that is not at all realistic.

This time around, Trudeau will not be able to say "Budgets Take Care Of Themselves".

The spending will work because I believe most "people who live in Canada" today are absolutely the stupidest people on Earth.

Last I heard debt servicing costs are +$40 billion. More than we spend on healthcare. Canada gets one credit downgrade and we will be forced to make cuts. Meanwhile GDP per Capita is falling and Canadians standard of living is falling. Where is the media, if it was the conservatives it would be blasted in our face.

I’d pay extra just to hear the honest inflation rate… it’s nowhere near what Tiff says (3%). He’s cut from the same cloth as trudud.

And lots of them came from places where speaking out or even raising the voice considered an action against the mighty government and punishable….So they just sit quiet and tight and happy with what they have.

Lots of these had their governments shooting at them. They come here and we give them cash, medical aid, and in some cases pensions.

Agree he's cut from the same cloth as trudud. Wasn't him who kept unrealistically low rates during the so called pandemic?

As sad as that is, there is a lot of truth in it.
