Trudeau’s train to debt
Article content
Justin Trudeau has created more debt than all previous Canadian prime ministers combined. Our grandchildren have been condemned to economic slavery forever paying off this obscene Trudeau debt. A prime minister who is about to be fired by his own Liberal Party, just gave all Canadians the finger with “Trudeau’s Train to Debt Armageddon” with a $3.9-billion “Design Phase” (committing us to another ill-advised government purchase with money we do not have) to be added to our National Debt of over $1.25 trillion! All this money spent, DOES NOT even start construction or include a nickel of the construction cost of this train, but Trudeau has just added another almost $4 billion to YOUR DEBT!!!

No game-changer
Did I just hear our lame-duck Prime Minister announce billions in taxpayer money for a high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City? He actually said “this would be a game-changer for Canadians and the largest infrastructure project in Canadian history.”
I guess the Canadians he’s talking about live in a very vote-rich corridor that he’s been appealing to for how many years now? The game-changer for the rest of us is we get to pay for it. I’ve always considered myself a Canada-first kind of guy, but this crap coming from Ottawa never ends, and I think I’m sort of leaning towards getting the hell out of this mess for most of Western Canada. It won’t matter what party is in power, they have to cater to our Eastern friends in order to stay in charge. In a democracy that stinks for the rest of us.

Foreign-policy frustration
In my opinion, Trump is doing wonders within his borders. Any time a country has a very large, incompetent and poorly working bureaucracy that sucks the blood and resources out of its taxpayers, democracy within that country, much like Canada has today, loses its lustre and in the end all suffer as a result. Trump is changing that in the U.S., trying to eliminate the abuse, fraud and overspending in government, and we need the same to happen here as well. However, Trump’s foreign policy is in disarray. His ideas about Gaza and Greenland are weird, but in particular his siding with Russia over Ukraine in trying to end that war between the two countries makes me shake my head in disbelief. Hopefully Trump will see the errors he’s made on the international front and right the ship much like he’s doing on his national landscape.
