“The Liberals are spending too much and driving up debt. They're making everything cost more. The government needs to spend less so Canadians can afford to live.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, imagine someone who just kept racking up the credit card bill while actively trying to earn less money. That is what the Liberals have spent the last decade doing, as they consistently increase the debt on the national credit card while doing everything possible to keep resources in the ground. Of course, governments and people are different. Governments can keep racking up taxes on families. These families are feeling the pain of higher taxes, higher inflation, higher interest costs and higher stresses on the family budget. Despite the illusions with the Liberal Prime Minister, it is more cost, more taxes, more debt, more on the national credit card and more of the same. He is just another Liberal. When will the Liberal Prime Minister get serious and end his costly credit card budgeting so Canadians can afford to live?
