Trudeau kept increasing the deficit even as unemployment was at a 40 year low and business cycle deep into growth times when ur supposed to improve finances not deteriorate them He kept changing his financial plans and every change every year was to increase the deficits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the last election a little laughable because most of their proposals were basically the same thing just the technicalities of how they were gonna do it were different In any case the party is supposed to replace the leader Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know much about Sheer tbh I only know the conservative parties plans during last election and that they really weren't that different from the Liberals and Trudeau at its core But since then I haven't followed. Covid has put all attention on Rilling party and it looks bad for opposition's to criticize so there's like no news on the Conservatives or the Left Wing NDP practically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
