TRUDEAU'S BUDGET SUCKS UP MONEY: No relief for Canadians with more Liberal spending

The Sun's political columnist Lorne Gunter says the Trudeau budget will deliver nothing for Canadians.

Before last year he was just trying to reimagine Canada to his ideology. Now he just wants to make a huge mess that the next government will have to try to clean up. And as that future government tries to clean it up the media will be all over them so that the next election after that they will get another liberal government that will give them more money.

I think their goal is to bankrupt Canadians and have us dependent on government. Socialism 101. In the meantime they need to accomplish their agenda and because they're now desperate they'll try to hold power with more debt spending in a feeble attempt to save their skins. I'm happy most Canadians have finally realized that debt spending drives up inflation and makes life unaffordable.

Why would they not be smug? Canadians voted for this misery and destruction when they gave the soy boy and his merry band of clowns 3 mandates over 8 years. Unfortunately, in a democracy, those who understand the stupidity of these voters don't have an option. They have to grin and bear as they watch the country being destroyed and the evident comatose existence of these voters. The minority get what the majority gives them with the combined liberal/NDP vote. The good news is that those voters who really liked the soy boy generally are ignorant and will be wiped out economically to the point that voting will be the last thing on their mind for a while. They will be overly occupied looking for food, shelter and other necessities of life that will be priced right out of their reach. According to financial gurus, the economic downturn in Canada will be much more severe than other countries and it is now here and worsening to the point that it is expected to be the worst recession since the great depression.

The average Canadian family spends more on taxes than they do on housing, food and clothing combined. Why? Because the Trudeau government has increased annual spending (not including interest payments on its debt, which have skyrocketed) by nearly 75 per cent since 2014, from $256 billion in 2014-15 to a projected $453 billion in 2023-24. To pay for all this spending, the total tax bill for the average Canadian family was $48,199 or 45.3 per cent of its income.

Trudeau states they will build 3.9 million homes by 2031. That’s about 7.5 years from now. 3.9 million / 7.5 = 533,333 homes per year. It means 44,444 homes every month. It means 1,461 new homes every day. It means 182 new homes every hour. How likely is this? CMHC states housing starts in 2023 were around 223,000 and 240,000 in 2022. Only in 2021 did starts go over 300,000 (according to Trading Economics). What are the odds the government can double production? Also, by trying to do so, even if they do, this will massively increase demand for building materials and workers. This will drive up the cost of materials, labour, and land. These new houses will be some of the most expensive ever built. No one will be able to afford these houses.
