What we cannot cut is the Liberal deficit. Positioning Claims · 8 words Amazingly, Justin Trudeau left behind a $40-billion deficit.1 Procedure · 7 words We thought it could not get worse, Procedure Claims · 33 words but along came the current Liberal Prime Minister, and he nearly doubled it to $80 billion.2 Just like he caused inflation when he printed money in Great Britain, he is causing inflation now. The question · 21 words Will the Prime Minister, who has been wrong about every single economic issue, learn from his mistakes and reverse the deficit?
