Liberal on The Economy 2026-10-22

44 words · 3 sentences · 3 clauses

Replying to Kerry Diotte (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, a policeman told me there is a hot new meat market in Edmonton. It is not a trendy butcher shop. It is literally a “hot” meat market, as in stolen meat. There has been a rash of meat thefts. Brazen beef bandits fill shopping carts with the pricey stuff. They escape and sell the meat on the black market. After 11 years of Liberal soft-on-crime laws and government overspending that feeds inflation, this is Canada today. When will the Liberals stop butchering our economy and do something to get it back on track?”
