Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 98 words the Liberals say this is a new government, but the only things that have changed are the colour of the Prime Minister’s socks and the size of the deficit. Mockery This Liberal Prime Minister has doubled Justin Trudeau’s deficit , maxing out the country’s credit card and forcing Canadians to pay more to bankers and bondholders rather than roads and hospitals.1 Even The Globe and Mail sees through this, saying, “it’s clear that the Liberals have no intention of changing their high-spending ways.”2 Maybe that is why the Liberals are sending more money to the media in their fiscal update.3 Positioning The question · 11 words Why is the costly Liberal government pretending that “new” means “improved”?
