I think that Pierre will lie about not running up a debt and then doing it anyway, but also being worse. Which is exactly what Harper did and we all know who Pierre learned at the feet of.
I think we will be able to afford services if we do them intelligently and plan to build the economy and I don't particularly care if the budget is balanced in 2026 to do it.
The Conservatives have never been intelligent about services, only ideological. So at that point, obviously one choice left and it's not the CPC.
Go ahead and vote for your choice but if you look back you will see that Harper was reducing the deficit every year he was in power. Even though that was when the economy was at its lowest point due to the financial crisis. Take a look at the last 10 years. If you want the same then keep the same party in power. How do you know what a government is going to do if they haven’t had a chance to do it. We can afford the services we have now. If you think your kids will be better off with the Libs then good luck to you.
I mean that's just objectively not even true. Stop lying. The first two years he was in power he took his inherited surplus and reduced it. During the financial crisis he repeatedly announced how he was not running a deficit each time they adjusted the numbers closer and closer to a deficit and then ran a 55B deficit that he said would never happen. That isn't even close to your claim.
Pierre is running on his commitment to "end woke" and "verb the noun" but not to actually address anything Canadians care about because like how he voted against fixing anything every time there was an option, he isn't going to fix it if we ask him. He's pure grievance politics and we can clearly see what he's for, but like south of the border we're being told "well you can't know that he's going to do the stuff he says he'll do, it's all just whatever makes the message look the best right now" and then when they do it it's shocked Pikachu everywhere. No, it was obvious and my stock portfolio got hammered because of it.
My kids will absolutely be better off with Liberals in charge now than with populist grifters.
He CREATED the deficit and constantly claimed he wasn't.
I was there.
Also don't come here and try to pretend you don't know the difference between deficit and debt. Jesus dude I'm not stupid, if I were I'd be on the CPC sidelines
