“The Prime Minister says affordability is great, but people are crowdfunding to survive. He spent $1 million on fancy airplane food. That's bad. It could feed a family for 55 years. Many Canadians struggle to buy food. In Newfoundland, many are unemployed. I don't think global forces caused this. I think the government did. I want to stop wasteful spending and help Canadians instead.”
