“The government is failing badly at managing the economy. You only have a 1% chance of meeting your own goals. That means you're 99% likely to fail. Our country is in a recession and the government needs to admit it. Instead, you play word games and ignore the problem.”

“My colleagues are dreaming. The Liberal government needs to wake up. Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living. Seniors are struggling in their retirement. Seniors aged 65 and over deserve respect. The Prime Minister should stop strutting on the international stage and running up the deficit. He should show seniors some respect and give them hope.”
