“As Justin Trudeau said, ‘We took on debt so Canadians wouldn’t have to.’ The Trudeau government deserves praise for its handling of the pandemic, and the support they provided to Canadians. It’s time to stop pretending otherwise.”

And by supporting us, they were paid back with one of the best performing economies in the G7 coming out of the pandemic, the best handling of inflation and interest rates and now the highest growth forecast. Immigrants have filled empty service industry jobs, generating a lot of tax revenue etc...
I'm pretty sure if these techniques were around 50 years ago they would have worked then too. If you've noticed, some of the most easily manipulated are older people.
If Pee Pee had been in charge during Covid then pretty much we would've had tens of thousands of more victims to Covid. Hats off and respect to JT for his handling of Covid and his negotiations of NAFTA with Trump. Pee Pee would never have stood up to Trump and will never stand up to him.
The cons and media always compare Canada's economy to the USA when the Liberals are in power.
And they always complain about deficits and debt even though the USA has maintained its strong economic growth by using federal deficits and debt.

Yes.
Their "productivity" measure is based of $ spent for wages vs $ in products produced.
Their whole platform is designed to increase the wage gap, not support workers.
I doubt any of the simps from the KKKaren KKKonvoy who waved F*CK TRUDEAU flags turned down any CERB cheques. I shudder to think what a Conservative government would have done, I just need to recall what happened in the States to have my answer.
They handled it well for the most part, but screwed up on many things. PHAC initially told us to not wear masks. They ignored PWDs, & then the CDB never came out & is only a max of $2400/year. Feds dropped masking on trains & planes & they stopped supplying RATs in May 2023.
I have no problem with CERB. But this messaging was terrible. “We took on debt so Canadians wouldn’t have to”? Who is this mystery “we”? Canadians literally took on that debt.
Yeah. Their comms team is abysmal. Would be better to praise what we have done together as Canadians along with the leadership of the Liberals and the NDP.
I am DEF not a national NDP fan but they did push the Liberals to go further.
I think it’s deeper that that. I think there are powers seeking to seed discontent and rage for nefarious purposes. The super wealthy want the majority to look away as they amass greater wealth. Some want access to mineral resources. Some want power, influence & $$.
Without the Pandemic supports a lot more people would be homeless and a lot more would be dead. Our Government invested in Canadians and not the wealthy elites.
Pollievre doesn’t look healthy. No colour. Looks like he’s hungover. He also looks like he was crying. Trudeau stepping down is a big problem for pp. Be careful what you with for Pierre.
I live in Toronto, and *two weeks* ago, the media reported about an outbreak of Scarlet Fever! SCARLET FEVER!!! When was the last time we heard about that?
At age three, my father was hospitalized, along with his younger brother (one and a half) with Scarlet Fever. His brother died, so my grandparents brought my father home. They didn't want to risk losing another child.
My cousin, prior to birth, became deaf, completely hearing impaired, when my aunt contracted Scarlett Fever. It doesn’t just affect those in close contact.
If you know any veterans receiving disability benefits, tell them to be afraid. Harper had stripped all post-2006 applicants of the lifetime pension (JT reinstated it) but now PP is hinting at stripping it from all veterans. They did it before. They'll do it again.
Yeah, everyone really actually loves the Liberal Party, led by Trudeau but we've been tricked by nefarious bad actors into thinking that a decade as PM is long enough.
And the cons will put out information that they are in the lead. Harper put out his video for Smith. Ford had videos and lots of ads. And then something always seems to happen at the voting stations. They seem to lose power or have to close. Then they extend hours. It happens often.
In my opinion due to security issues voting should be done via SIN number and a receipt given to the taxpayer as proof that our vote was calculated. It has to become more professional.
I do not think he dithers. I think the simultaneous use of both languages induces delays. i do wonder if this sort of slight delay is what Fench speakers hear when they listen to most non francophone politicos say their bits en francais
And then...losing in anhistoric defeat. Never has,a ruling party in a Westetn Democracy lost as badly as the cons did after Mulroney. They kept 2 seats only.
Not sure how I feel about electoral reform. Israel has PR and IMHO that has not worked for them. Their government is a coalition that has a zealots faction that were labelled as terrorists, a label that was conveniently removed once they got into government. I know what you’re saying about FPTP but
He did Canada proud and helped keep us safe during the pandemic. I would hate to think where we’d be if the cons had been in power during Covid. Media also piled the hate on to him while giving that creep PP a pass which I will never forgive them for
That turned my son, a small business owner, from an NDP voter to a Trudeau voter. COVID aid literally saved his business. Now he's disgusted with Singh.
I was able to get CERB and it indeed saved me during an incredibly difficult and stressful time. I was able to make it through and I know many others did too. PP said at the time he and the conservatives would not have done anything to help.
They handled the pandemic far better than most countries, I'll give them that.
What they messed up was privatizating much of the covid response. Disaster capitalism.
It was totally un-chartered territory at the time and mistakes were acknowledged that they would be made but the goal was the greater good. On that, Trudeau was successful. The knives all come out in hindsight.
There isn't likely to be any hindsight since the feds and provinces aren't interested in an inquiry into the pandemic handling. Doug Ford is probably most worried for his clusterfuck.
The ostrich manoevre.
He also knows that he's cozied up to Trudeau so many times that when the Tories finally do take over in Ottawa, the Big Blue Machine will eat him alive.
Ford is evil - U.S. style politics. He consistently makes every effort against the Public. He acts first w/o consult & then waves his king's wand. He's dumped so many people into the garbage heap it's 😠 - homeless, autistic, disabled, ERs, doctors..... Chaos. Unable to govern. Bought/paid for by $$.
Don’t be like the US. We didn’t appreciate how Joe Biden handled Covid in this country. Inflation was a result of the pandemic but Americans chose to elect a lying criminal as its reward for hard times. God help us.
Wow . Blame him for our own stupidity. We were warned of a pandemic - in Montreal with first cases we had 50000 people at an indoor soccer game knowing this would be a super spreader.
Many on the prairies were angry with him way before that just because of his last name. They were taught to hate PE Trudeau their entire lives. Most of the convoy clowns came from there.
Having grown up in the prairies before moving to Ottawa in 1985, you're not wrong. There's always been a "hate the feds" thing going on there, one way and another...and yeah, the Trudeau name's been wrongly turned to poison, too.

That monster will send a lot of people in misery if he is ever elected.
Be very afraid.
It’s what CDN MSM who are in bed with the alt right are spewing & it’s what PP & his minions regurgitate over & over
I don’t think he’s finished. I think there is something coming with the Foriegn Interference Report

An issue, had he tackled it, wouldn’t have us on the fucking mess in the 1st place.
Still, not enough of a reason to ever support a piece of shit like Poilievre.
