“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have ... we said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are ... and we will balance that budget in 2019 ~~ Justin Trudeau in 2015


Justin Trudeau’s spending is out of control, and Canadians are paying the price – literally, says Canada Proud.

A recent study by the Fraser Institute found that in 2018 Canadians paid an average of 44% of their annual income in taxes.  That’s more than housing, food, and other necessitates costs combined.

So where is all of this money actually going?

Well, in the Summer of 2018 dropped 43 billion dollars is a spending spree, with a majority of funds going to Liberal riding's.  One of the most ridiculous places the money went was $50 thousand dollars to a Quebec meat processing company so that they could develop a new line of sausages with a “distinctive’ flavour.

But the most part of the summertime spending spree was that Veterans Affairs didn’t receive a single penny.

“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have ... we said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are ... and we will balance that budget in 2019.”

Trudeau doesn’t just waste our money at home – he loves to waste it abroad.

Remember Trudeau’s India trip?  Well that embarrassment cost us at least 1.6 million tax dollars, even though there was only half a day of scheduled meetings with the Indian Prime Minister.

Seriously! 

We paid 1.6 million dollars to send Trudeau and his family on a vacation.  Trudeau even brought a Vancouver based celebrity chef with him at the cost of $17 thousand dollars.

He even wastes our tax dollars on running social media accounts, like his Health Ministers Twitter account, which costs over $100 thousand dollars a year ... and that’s just one Minister.

The Trudeau government has also made history for the highest levels of per capita spending in Canada, outside of a world war ... or a recession.  In fact, when adjusted for inflation, Trudeau is spending 22% more than Canada’s peak spending during World War 2.

But the worst part is that even though we spend almost half our yearly income in taxes, Trudeau is still running deficits.... and he’s currently on pace to run a $15 billion-dollar deficit in 2019.

So, this election, when you hear Trudeau make and open-ended promises and blatant lies, remember that he made this promise in 2015 ...

“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have ... we said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are ... and we will balance that budget in 2019.”

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red
