Vague promise Claims · 74 words We introduced the groceries and essentials benefit , and it delivered 12 million Canadians a cheque to help with the cost of living. We cut taxes on new business investment and saw an immediate spike of 8.9% in activity. We rapidly signed 20 new trade and security agreements, and we saw the highest level of non-U.S. trade this last summer. We streamlined permitting processes, and we have seen more jobs and shovels in the ground. Partly on point Positioning · 7 words Those are the results of this government. Positioning Off point
