“The Prime Minister has put Canada into a recession, and our economy is falling behind other rich nations. More Canadians are jobless, savings are down, and millions rely on food banks. Conservatives will fix this by cutting taxes, government spending, and rules that stop building.”
  • A repeated line

    “The lowest investment per worker in the G7.”

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has made Canada the only G7 country in a recession. Even though the other countries face the same global challenges and tariffs, Canada’s economy shrunk 75% of his term, with the lowest investment per worker in the G7. That is less opportunity and more stress for Canadians who cannot afford it. A year in, almost 46,000 more Canadians are jobless, household savings are at their lowest and millions of Canadians, especially kids, visit food banks just to get by. These are predictable results with deficits double Trudeau’s, higher carbon taxes and a decade of top-down “Ottawa knows best” chaos and division. So much for the elbows-up man with a plan for Canada. Canadians get photo ops, discussion papers and a self-identified European PM who just said he wants to make America great again. Conservatives will cut taxes and inflationary spending, slash big bureaucrat bonuses and corporate cronyism and axe antidevelopment laws and red tape that block building to unleash Canada’s economy so Canadians can hope to thrive, not just survive.
