Justin Trudeau’s desperate campaign spending announcements to cost $57 billion

In the face of scandal, Trudeau reveals platform, making billions in farcical promises to Canadians

In
an attempt to cover up international embarrassment, Justin Trudeau has revealed
his platform, announcing a staggering $57 billion in campaign promises. The
tally of his disastrous campaign is mounting, and so is his debt.

“Justin
Trudeau will do or say anything to get re-elected. If given four more years, we
know that Trudeau is going to raise your taxes to pay for his out of control
spending,” said Pierre Poilievre, MP Carleton at a media availability in
Ottawa.

To
reveal the true cost of Justin Trudeau’s poor judgement, the Conservative Party
has once again done the math:

Justin
Trudeau’s campaign promises added to his existing deficits will pile on $100
billion of new debt to the books;
His
deficit will hit $27.4 billion in 2020; and,
Total
debt by the end of Justin Trudeau’s second term would be over $800 billion.

What
does that mean for you? Justin Trudeau’s never-ending spending will threaten
the quality of our health and social programs. He will be forced to raise taxes
to pay for his endless debt and deficits.

To
pay just half of Justin Trudeau’s deficits ($14B), he would have to either:

Raise
the GST by 2% or;
Raise
the rate on the first income tax bracket from 15% to 19% or;
Raise
the rate on the second income tax bracket from 20.5% to 27% or;
Lower
the basic personal amount from $12,069 to $6,869.

Further,
by reaching $823 billion in total debt, Trudeau is will spend $35 billion on
interest payments alone. That’s $35 billion that will not go to Canadians’
priorities.

Justin
Trudeau campaigned on a promise to help the middle class. Instead, he raised
taxes on 80 per cent of middle-class Canadians and imposed a carbon tax that
makes everyday essential more expensive. If Justin Trudeau is re-elected, his
carbon tax is going to increase the price of gasoline by 31 cents per litre.

“This
election will come down to the choice between a government who thinks they can
spend your money better than you, raises taxes, and makes your life more
unaffordable – and a new Conservative government that will lower your taxes and
put more money in your pocket,” said Poilievre.

JUSTIN
TRUDEAU’S BROKEN PROMISES:

Balanced
Budgets:

“I
am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We’ve
said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are. We will balance that
budget in 2019.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015

It’s
2019, and as we can see the budget did not “balance itself.” Justin Trudeau is
running endless deficits that threaten the social services Canadians depend on
and if re-elected Trudeau will just raise your taxes to pay for his out of
control spending.

Electoral
Reform:

“As
Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under
first-past-the-post system.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015

There’s
another election, and guess what? It’s being held under first-past-the-post.

Veterans:

“Our
plan will give back to those who have given so much in service to all
Canadians, and will ensure that no veteran has to fight the government for the
support and compensation they have earned.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015
Election Platform

Justin
Trudeau looked a military hero in the eye – a man who lost his leg fighting for
our country – and said that veterans are “asking for more than we are able to
give.”

Accountability:

“We
will restore trust in our democracy.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election
Platform

Justin
Trudeau was the first Prime Minister in our country’s history to be found
guilty of breaking ethics laws, and he did it not once but twice!

Justin
Trudeau has stonewalled the Ethics Commissioner, shut-down parliamentary
committees search for answers into Liberal corruption scandals, and he is now
doing everything in his power to block the RCMP from investigating his office.
