Natural Resources
Natural resource projects and federal spending were discussed. The Bloc accused the Liberals of wasting money on pipelines while the Liberals touted investments in Quebec mining projects and shipbuilding.
“I'm excited that government spending will create jobs in Quebec. A new mine and shipyard will be great! Canadians, you will all see lower costs if you keep supporting us.”
“I want the Liberals to spend money on my stuff instead of their stuff. Taxpayers must pay for my preferences!”
“You're wrong about everything. Quebec and Canada are good at mining. We built a battery system. Quebec will be good at building electric cars. Everyone should be proud of us.”
“The Liberals are making bad choices about the environment. They should use less gas.”
“I want taxpayers to spend more money and the government to take credit for jobs. The government will spend more money on programs in Quebec. We will keep spending to stay popular.”
