Minister, your tweet is patently false and you know it.

Your government got unlimited spending powers for vaccines from Parliament in April—almost a year ago.

You have the money, but your government got duped by China. That's why we don't have vaccines.
What your bill actually does is make today's astronomical deficits permanent & boost the debt limit to $1.8 TRILLION—double 2019 levels.

Putting your risky experiments on Canada's credit card will not secure our future.
Spreading false information, as you are doing here, is not in the spirit of #TeamCanada.

The Liberals are not planning to make child care affordable. They instead want parents to pay more for it on their tax bills. A $22B/year gov-run child care program means a permanent 3% hike in the GST, with no guarantee everyone gets a space.
Parents should have the freedom to choose how to spend their child care dollars rather than having Trudeau impose his will on them.
Liberals would also punish women who make choices the government doesn’t like. Choose neighbourhood care, a grandparent, a stay-at-home dad or other unapproved options and Liberals will punish you.

Why the hell is government giving money to “venture capitalists” in the first place? True capitalists invest their own money, not taxpayers’ money.

We are always told big government redistributes wealth from rich to poor. Yet here again working class taxpayers fund wealthy financial elites with friends in high places.
In a state-run socialist economy, it is possible to get rich. You just need political connections to unlock the prodigious vaults of the state.

« Depuis quelques semaines, je forme une équipe et gagne un soutien pour une possible course à la direction du Parti conservateur. En sillonnant le pays, je suis ravi par la réponse favorable.
Je savais que ce serait difficile pour ma vie familiale. Mais je n’imaginais pas combien.
C’est encore plus difficile parce que je venais de passer les 18 mois précédents à faire campagne pour regagner mon siège à la récente élection fédérale, au cours de laquelle j’ai raté la majeure partie de la première année de notre bébé.

"Over the last several weeks, I have been building a team and support for a possible run for the conservative leadership. In criss-crossing the country, I have been overwhelmed with the favourable response.
I knew it would be hard on my family life to do this. But I did not realize how hard. It is harder still because I had just spent the earlier 18 months campaigning furiously to win back my seat in the recent federal election, I mostly missed the 1st year of our baby's life.
As such, my heart is not fully engaged in this leadership race. Without being all in, I cannot be in at all. So I have decided not to seek the leadership of the party at this time.

Quarterly GDP growth looks not as bad as the last two sluggish quarters. But beneath the surface, there is weakness. Image
Households are pulling back. Consumption slowed to just 0.1%, the weakest in seven years (since Q2 2012). People are feeling pinched.
Businesses are pulling back. Investment fell 4.3% in Q2 with machinery and equipment spending falling 9.3%. Exports were the only bright spot, driven by higher oil prices, minerals and ag.

You’re wrong. You raised taxes on 81% of middle-class people. You raised taxes on students by taking away education & textbook tax credits; on parents by taking away the arts/fitness tax credit & income splitting; and you hiked payroll taxes on everyone else.
There is no evidence that the rich are paying more. CRA data show that the rich paid $4.6 billion less in taxes the year your tax changes took effect.

More recent data show that the rich are not bearing any additional share of the tax burden.
Your small business tax hikes hurt farmers, plumbers and pizza-shop owners, while protecting trust-fund millionaires like yourself and Justin Trudeau.
