“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.”

WARD STAMER: “Hopefully he’s actually listening to what people have to say, and not just showing up for a photo op”

In his latest travels across the province, BC Forest Minister Ravi Parmar touched down in the Okanagan. A trip essentially, he said, to be on the ground meeting industry people. I read what he had to say, and about how he has been tasked with getting more timber to market. Let me start by saying, “ He hasn’t been tasked. He and Premier Eby guaranteed 45 million cubic metres of available wood fibre – they guaranteed that .” BC Timber Sales is a government agency within the provincial forest’s ministry, which is responsible for managing a portion of the province's Crown timber; specifically, 20 percent of the province's annual allowable cut. Unfortunately, BC Timber Sales did not provide anywhere near that amount last year, it was just 12.2 percent. Three years ago, BC mills cut 52 million metres of wood, bringing in nearly $2 billion dollars to the provincial treasury. That figure doesn’t include the taxes from 55,700 people directly employed in the industry, nor from the tens o...

Conservative Opposition demonstrates focused and policy-oriented approach in first four weeks of the legislative session

In the first four weeks of the legislative session, the Conservative Official Opposition has scored significant policy wins as it proves every day that the Conservative team has fresh ideas and real-world experience to bring to the table. At the same time, the NDP government has been listless, struggling to find a policy agenda that addresses the problems that British Columbians are facing. “This NDP government led by David Eby has tried to do everything under the sun to distract from their disastrous fiscal record and the fact that they are utterly out of ideas,” said Conservative Opposition Leader John Rustad. “They’ve tried to use the U.S. President to deflect from their eye-popping $11 billion deficit, the worst business confidence in the country, and the fact that they’ve created almost zero private sector jobs. This is no way to run a province or an economy.” Since the legislative session started on February 18th with the Throne Speech, the opposition...
