The spring budget update shows the government continuing a path of high deficits and spending. In the discussion, Conservatives criticized the growing debt and got no real answers, while Liberals bragged about Canada's economy compared to other countries rather than addressing the concerns.
“You're spending too much. Canadians are suffering. Selling assets is a bad plan.”
“Everything the Liberals do is expensive for Canadians. I think Canadians would be better off if the government spent a lot less.”
“That guy won't answer the question. The budget has the same old excuses. The government keeps borrowing and spending. Taxes and prices are up. Why should taxpayers pay for the government spending more than it has?”
“You guys said you'd be different, but you're spending even more money and making everything cost more. Canadians are hurting. Admit your fancy talk is just spin.”
“The real problem is that you spend way too much. You're bragging about deals while Canadians pay for your huge deficits. Why won't you stop saddling people with debt and get your spending under control?”
“The government keeps spending more of your money. Doubling the deficit hasn't improved anything for regular Canadians. It just sticks the next generation with more debt to pay off. We need to stop this before it gets even worse.”
