Ever since the beginning, Justin Trudeau has been on a regular basis been bringing Doug Ford’s name into the fray. Why? It’s not his record we’re that we’re judging. In fact, Doug Ford could be an awful Leader, but the point is he is the Premier of Ontario because he was democratically elected by the people of Ontario. We will deal with him when the time comes. The point is, Justin Trudeau is the one on record. The one we’re judging right now. His record matters. In the recent English Debate, Andrew Scheer was asking Justin Trudeau why he keeps bringing this up? Andrew mentioned,
“There’s a position open for the Leader of the Ontario liberal party, why don’t you apply for it.” LOL.
Why doesn’t he? In fact, Justin was so adamant about this point that he brought up that name in his very next speech. Trying to make a point? I think he is. But I don’t think it’s having an affect on Ontario voters. Even if people didn’t vote for Doug Ford. This is not a good move by Justin Trudeau. And with one week to go, he’d better change his strategy. Because I voted yesterday, and I didn’t vote for Justin Trudeau, but I didn’t vote for Doug Ford either. And I would imagine that almost all those living in Ontario didn’t either in this federal election campaign.
He talks about “Moving Forward,” what he’s really talking about is more money, more debt, more spending. This, while Andrew Scheer talks about reducing debt. Justin says the Conservatives are cutting taxes only for the wealthy, but one look at the Conservative election promises and you’ll see a promise to restore the 15% Transit Tax Rebate. That’s not for rich people but for people like you and me. And he also wants to help people and Canadians all over who are buying a house for the first time by extending the amortization period from 25 years to 30 years which will reduce monthly mortgage payments. And make changes to the stress test to see if you can afford a house. This will make it easier. This could be good for someone who’s single, with a good income and wants a bigger place, or a Condo. It’s not perfect, but it may be helpful. Justin Trudeau, when it comes to housing, he wants to TAX the equity that comes out of your home. Just like if you cash in your RRSP.
Haven’t we paid enough!
This will bring in millions for the Government. And I want nothing to do with it. I can picture it now in the HofC during Question Period right after a budget has been presented. All that screaming and yelling from the Opposition benches. Oh the Outrage! I’d be mad too. So, let’s make sure he doesn’t get back into power. That’s one thing I couldn’t afford.
So to close. With Doug Ford being mentioned all the time by Justin Trudeau, I think this is not going to have any influence on the mind of voters come October 21st. And on the pre-voting polls which already started this past weekend. If Doug Ford is unpopular with Ontario, Voters that will be deal with that when the time comes. But the record of Justin Trudeau is what’s at issue. So, it’s not in Trudeau’s best interest to mention this. They’re not going to be thinking about Doug Ford when they vote for Andrew Scheer. Or someone else. Also remember, What liberals call Cuts to education and strikes and labour disputes and government services, We should be calling Government Debt! It was previous debt, debt, and more debt that put things like Autism and hydro and other government services on the chopping block to be cut. To reduce the debt that these services cost. Other governments and some Media (Toronto Star comes to mind), will call it cuts to service. Not debt. Not deficit. Not trying to take responsibility for doing the right thing for the people. Doug Ford may not be popular right now, but he’s got another three years to prove himself as one who’s government is on the right track. We’re doing fine without these liberals who like to spend, spend, spend. Which is exactly what Justin Trudeau is doing.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
