I suppose we have to wait until the end of his term to make the final judgment.
Well his deficits are already on the public record . Of course we can’t know the real figures until they leave office .

Or his son .

I'd just like to see the monthly costs for keeping the refugees, 3 years after their arrival. I'd bet it's still in the $millions every single months. How many of them are gainfully employed and paying taxes? 5%? Maybe 10% tops!

I’d like to see the monthly cost of keeping our Prime Minister , what with nannies , wardrobe , official photographer assistants , bodyguards ( with guns shudder ) and all . Even if he was at home most of the time it would raise eyebrows

You bet! He's a pretty important man alright! He has that "aura" about him that I sensed right from the get go!

Please provide the $figures substantiating that.


Tell you what - prove me wrong.

As do the Liberals. Check out the fiscal disaster under Pierre Trudeau.




We have - it is dwarfed by the one from Brian Mulroney.

Cuz Spanky Potter's gonna wave his magic wand and GROW us outta debt!


That seems to be happening. Note the drop in 2017.

Has anyone else noticed the more arrogant they are, the greater the debt they run up? Has anyone noticed that graph is quite misleading?


Wonderful of you to post a comment without pointing out what is misleading about the graph. Can it be that it deflates the usual conservative BS?

That's not hard to spot, took me about 3 seconds! The debt in 2008 is made to look insignificant to make Obama look even worse than he actually was. That's the one problem with graphs, they can be skewed to arrive at any conclusion the author wants.

I don't have the graph in front of me now. Look at the bar graph for the first year and check the distance on the graph from zero to the top and then do the same thing with successive bars. Get my point?

What do you expect from someone who gets his news and ideas from Facebook............:rolleyes:


Just out of interest what do YOU consider to be a reliable source of news? I've generally trusted C.B.C. but I'm not too sure, they are airtight either. Same with the big three in the U.S. I guess.
