Yet Another Trudeau Bullshit Promise Fail.

So while all of you, Zionists, dislike this guy, certainly he is better than all of you,
and the comparison between Trudeau and the Zionists is like the comparison between the star in the sky and the dirt on the ground.

Trudeau said he'd develop resources and protect the environment

Turdoh is not ready, nor does he have the gray matter to ever be so.

He was interviewed on our local radio station and the interviewer had requested that listeners send in potential questions. I wasn't able to respond but if I had my question would have been - when are you stepping down?

The Liberals hate the military. While I strongly disagreed with Harper regarding our military wounded - shameful actually, he wasn't the only one to screw up when it came to military matters. Under PET the military had their budget severely cut back. My hubby was career military in the 70's and 80's when PET was PM and he would come home thoroughly disgusted because they would go out on exercises and have to pretend to shoot "bang, bang" because they didn't have the ammunition required. So, Justine is simply carrying on the legacy.. IMHO. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth and I honestly was hoping that he would come through with this promise, even though I detest the man. But, as I suspected, he's all talk and will likely smell like a rose because he gave our wounded warriors a whole $200/month for laying their lives on the line. Wow, I am sooo proud to be a Canadian!!!

That's not really true. We sent our professional army, a lot if whom were career soldiers who had been in a long time and a long time before the rules changed. It is striking, to me anyway, how many of the fallen in Afghanistan were around 40.

You bring up a good point. To make it more difficult for governments to change the rules, perhaps they should all be spelt out in the contract itself upfront. While a government could pass laws to override the contact, to do so would be so politically scandalous that I can't imagine a government trying that. What it might do is just change the rules for future contracts, but then at least the signatories would know what they are signing up for.

If you want to write a petition to that effect:

Again, an Act of Parliament could override such a contract, but I can't imagine a government daring to do that if it values re-election.

New report calls Liberals’ 2016 tax hike ‘revenue loser on a national scale’

The Liberal government’s 2016 tax hike on Canada’s top one per cent not only failed to yield the promised billions, but resulted in a net revenue loss for government coffers, according to a new report released by the C.D. Howe Institute.

After adjusting for economic changes and one-time factors, the paper estimates that the Liberals’ new tax bracket for top earners creates $1.2 billion in new revenue for the federal government but a $1.3 billion loss for provincial governments.

As such, “the hike was a revenue loser on a national scale,” writes study author Alexandre Laurin, director of research at the Institute.

In December 2015, the Trudeau Liberals announced that the tax rate on income over $200,000 would go up four percentage points, from 29 per cent to 33 per cent. This was meant to help offset the revenue losses from the government’s signature “middle class tax cut,” which reduced the tax rate on incomes between about $45,000 and $90,000 by 1.5 percentage points, from 22 per cent down to 20.5 per cent.

Tax data from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) revealed this summer that Ottawa’s tax hike failed to live up to its revenue-boosting expectations in its first year of implementation. The numbers showed that high-income earners actually paid $4.6 billion less in federal tax in 2016, the first year the tax changes took effect. That was a far cry from the $3 billion in new revenue that the Liberal Party’s campaign platform said the new tax would raise.
