With all the focus last week being on the imploding Trudeau government, not nearly enough attention was given to the fall economic statement. Of course, having the finance minister quit just after 9 a.m. on the day she’s supposed to deliver an update on the government’s finances will do that.

Describing the PM’s policies as “costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford” and saying that Canada needs to keep “our fiscal powder dry” has people claiming Freeland was acting on principle. Jean Chretien’s former chief of staff, Eddie Goldenberg, is even touting Freeland as the next leader the Liberal Party needs because she is “a centrist, she has great economic credentials.”

Freeland’s record is one of missing fiscal targets, ever-expanding spending and deficits and increasing taxes. Don’t think for a second that Freeland is a centrist on economics, or competent.

Her book Plutocrats, released after she left journalism for politics, praised the work of people like socialist economist Thomas Piketty. Despite her recent backing of the GST tax holiday, Freeland has been far more likely to support increasing taxes like the annual increases to payroll taxes, alcohol and of course the carbon tax.

She left journalism for politics after a disastrous turn at Reuters where she was put in charge of digital and asked to launch Reuters Next. By the time she left to run for Parliament in 2013, that project was dramatically over budget and behind schedule.

Leader of what? I think they won't make party status.

So are you saying people can't be different than their grandparents, or great grandparents, etc?
Not in the West they can't. Remember, you're responsible for slavery and shit because of what some White people did. You're a genocidal colonizer because of what some White people did. This govt set the precedent, man.
And of course let's not forget how this govt which includes Freeland, has permitted islamo-nazi invaders to terrorize Jewish-Canadians for well over a year now.
Seems like Freebag was right at home with Team Turd-o.

Selectively so I suppose.

Remember, you're responsible for slavery and shit because of what some White people did.

No, we're not responsible for the slavery. People ARE responsible for trying to continually whitewash it and somehow say "It wasn't that bad" or use that it was "hundreds of years ago" (which it wasn't) as an excuse not to discuss it or acknowledge that the repercussions of slavery are STILL a part of society today.

But I have seen quite a few Black people call out others for holding onto this excuse.

You're a genocidal colonizer because of what some White people did.

Similar to above - not the genocidal colonizer, but trying to deny shit happened, ignoring the treaties that were agreed upon and continually doing things to ensure the Native population stays "in it's place" doesn't help.

That said, I also know of Natives who are pissed at their Fellow Natives for being fucking stupid and using this as an excuse.

This govt set the precedent, man.

If you think this shit started with Trudeau, you've been blind until he took PM.

And of course let's not forget how this govt which includes Freeland, has permitted islamo-nazi invaders

LMFAO - How'd I know you'd bring up that bullshit line. "Invaders"? Really?

Can we call any of the Pro-Israel fanatics "invaders" too?

to terrorize Jewish-Canadians for well over a year now.

Are there Anti-Semitics out there doing illegal acts against Jews? Absolutely. Should they be held to account for said acts? Absolutely.

Does standing with Palestine mean you are Anti-Jewish? Fuck no.

Seems like Freebag was right at home with Team Turd-o.

So you're very "Sins of the father" type believer, then? Good to know; I hope your kids aren't held to account for YOUR sins.
