The one that is bullshit?
What the liberals did with the debt more closely resembles a game of three card Monty than paying bills.see Cpp and EI theft.
In fairness he did close most of the loopholes imitately afterwards.
=================================================================================================================
OH yes- Martin DID CLOSE those oh so handy loopholes once he had HIS MONEY out of Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Martin is the CLASSIC LIE-beral Hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals keep talking about tax "fairness" but what they mean is MORE GRAVY FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article illustrating yet again how thinly veiled is the LIE-beral disdain for standard rules of behaviour and how poorly developed is their understanding of ethics! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Top Liberal fundraiser Bronfman claims no wrongdoing after Paradise Papers tax haven accusation

OTTAWA — The federal Liberal party’s chief fundraiser says he has never violated Canada’s tax laws through the use of offshore tax havens.
(There may not have been any laws broken but it is typical and very UNSAVOURY LIE-beral behaviour to exploit every tax dodge to the absolute maximum- while sticking it to ordinary Cdns who lack the connections and resources to exploit those loopholes! Former LIE-beral finance minister-and briefly prime minister- Pail Martin exported billion dollars worth of his Canada Steamship Lines resources out of Canada without the bother of paying any export duties- using tax loopholes he left in his own legislation. Martin is in the same boat as Bronfman- no actual criminal wrong doing is proven but both men are snared in deals reeking of corruption and LIE-beral privilege!)
(LIE-beral prime minster Jean Chretien was snared in a similar situation when he intervened to ensure that a guy suspected of organized crime connections could get a govt grant- since no bank would deal with him- to buy a hotel owned by Chretien- again the reek of corruption and favouritism was very strong! Then there is the LIE-beral adscam business in which three billion dollars of Cdn tax money disappeared from the federal Human Resources Ministry under very suspect conditions- with two men eventually being sentenced to jail terms- just more highly suspect reek of corruption surrounding LIE-beral affairs! LIE-berals have made it clear we must do as they say but we are forbidden to benefit as they do!)
Stephen Bronfman has issued a statement saying he’s never funded nor used offshore trusts, and that all his Canadian trusts have paid all federal taxes on their income.
Tax avoidance measures involving offshore trusts are legal, provided that the trust is genuinely managed offshore and that Canadian taxes are paid on any Canadian contributions.
(OH the weasel words! The Bronfman money is offshore specifically to avoid Cdn taxes and increase earnings so assurances that all applicable Cdn taxes have been paid is an empty assurance that means nothing! It is a silly LIE-beral word game to reduce taxes by hiring an “off-shore” manager to do exactly the same work as a Cdn manager- for way less tax!)
According to the Toronto Star and CBC/Radio Canada, records suggest Bronfman and his family’s Montreal-based investment company, Claridge Inc., were linked to an offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have used questionable means to avoid paying millions in taxes.
Bronfman says he made a single loan more than 25 years ago to the trust that was repaid five months later, which was all in full compliance with Canadian law.
The statement says that Bronfman, a close friend of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, will not be making any further comment about the revelations in the wake of a second massive leak of tax-haven financial records.
While Justin Trudeau spent the summer calling local business operators tax cheats, it was in fact his top lieutenants within the Liberal Party of Canada who were avoiding paying taxes here in Canada.
It is no secret that the Prime Minister needs money to pay for his out-of-control deficits. But instead of cracking down on the tax-avoidance schemes, described by the Paradise Papers, used by his wealthy friends, like Stephen Bronfman, Trudeau is forcing you to pay the bill.
Justin Trudeau's well-connected Liberal friends get away with paying less, and you pay more. There is nothing fair about that.
(Civil service union Hogs- always desperate for more gravy- have launched a campaign whining that Cdn corporate taxes are too low and are harming the economy! They want Cdn based businesses taxed more heavily for THEIR benefit- but are ignoring Bronfman, Paul Martin and all manner of other LIE-berals who happily enjoy tax breaks as described in the Paradise Papers! Hog greed is a shameless thing!)
(And since LIE-berals are so desperate for more cash then why do they not impose the health levy on civil service Hogs? One employed Cdn in three works for govt yet NONE of the Hogs pays the Ontari-owe health levy! It’s the usual “good for you but not for us” crap!)
The statement says that Bronfman, a close friend of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, will not be making any further comment about the revelations in the wake of a second massive leak of tax-haven financial records.
(No more statements? Gosh- what could LIE-berals possibly say about this situation that would not dig them in even deeper? And the LIE-beral hypocrite mind set dictates that if they do not talk about it then it never happened and the rest of us should shut up and FORGET!)
