Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the Trudeau government's new measures are spreading more 'gasoline on the inflationary fire.'

Justin never experienced financial hardship in his life so what the heck would he know about rough times?
Pierre is a career politician lol
@Normano no but at least Trudeau actually had a job besides politics while also being rich
Trump never has, and he’s great, right? A logic fallacy has been detected.
@Drwzer The difference here is that Pierre worked and earned his spot from a middle class family. It’s very impressive to become a MP at such a young age and stay there. Unlike Trudeau who was born into a life of money and privilege that not many will ever get to experience. With out the Trudeau name he would not be here.
@MRS FED. Justin comes from money is a muiptle millionaire
My husband and I are 70 yrs old and he is thinking about going back to work if things don’t get better as we won’t be able to keep our house. Can’t keep up with the price of everything rising prices of energy and food.
@Sue Blanchard I’ll defend seniors everyday sorry.
Could anyone who is 70 years of age now have predicted what state this country might be in today? Absolutely not. Just when you think you can retire and live modestly…… nope, surprise! More tax, more inflation, more tax, more tax and more tax. The Trudeau family should weather this storm completely unscathed though, thanks to your tax dollars. I hear Costa Rica is nice. Too bad you retirees won’t see it now. Maybe Justin could send you some pictures.
@Sue Blanchard I can understand if this went on for years how this would be a significant concern, but one year of moderate to high inflation should be manageable, especially after a decade of very low inflation.
@Z Tracks I agree. Pay property tax based on the amount you bought the house for. That would curb the speculation market and seniors would be secure knowing they won’t get booted out from crazy tax increases.
@Drwzer Nobody could have planned for Turdeau
Some one that has never gone grocery shopping or done a personal budget should not be in the business of spending money responsibly. Thank you Pierre . We all knew it and you are calling them out.
@strykertube Exactly
Literally thought you were talking about little PP, then I saw you thank him. Fkn lol.
calling it out is nothing!!!! To fix the issues would be something, so lets see how is he going to fix it????
You realize we have cabinet members who deal with finances Trudeau isnt micro managing everything
$10 says David Akin presents himself as a victim online within 24-hrs, for the backlash he is about to receive for these shenanigans.
He has totally lost it!
@Dave Campbell I’m not sure he had it to begin with.
Holy mackerel, I think you might be right that this will actually happen.
I’m not touching that one without 1000 to 1 odds.
Pierre for PM! Time to get Canada back on the right track!!
only a quarter of Canadians favor Pierre. How can he be next PM? I really doubt.
@cai jack Give him time.
@cai jack well…if trudeau can be the least popular PM ever, and win 3x.
im sure PP can get ur done
Absolutely despise Trudeau
Pierre should tax Trudeau’s trust fund until it runs dry.
Prices went up again today at the grocery store, throwing any budget out the window..
Finally a leader with actual , common sense goals.
Now we wait for him to follow through.
Like investing in the crypto market! Yeah real smart fella!
@donald weisenheim if it were up to Pierre Poilievre he would have made every Canadian buy crypto currency and every Canadian would have lost everything
I finally have hope…
In B.C. we don’t claim our rent on taxes so we don’t even get the 40 dollars.
So is Pierre trying to say that the budget doesn’t balance itself?
Not gonna argue that the Libs have been spending too much money in years when they shouldn’t. Libs tend to do that. I think Paul Martin was one of the few who did different.
Paul Martin balanced the budget by lowering transfer payments to the provinces.
I could balance my budget by not paying bills too.
Martin stole the federal employees’ pension surplus to do this. Rather sneaky.
this guy gets it
Spending more money to fight inflation? Don’t forget that budgets balance themselves.
Yes, that is how you fight inflation. Just because you and Pierre don’t understand that doesn’t make it not true
@Daniel House Lol no its not. You cut spending and raise interest rates, increased spending is how we got the inflation we have now.
@ryan radcliffe you don’t have a clue who I am and what I know.
@Daniel House
Fighting inflation with spending is akin to fighting a fire by throwing rocket fuel on an inferno
Pierre’s farts have more integrity, honesty and class than the entire trudeau family lineage.
That’s a bit much, don’t you think? It’s not their fault Justin is a lesser Donald Trump.
What’s ur logic behind this
Looking forward to your policies….we are looking to you for leadership Pierre Poilievre. I also can relate to your personal story. Congratulations on your wonderful political campaign.
What policies lmao
What’s his story?
What about changing the tax brackets to compensate for inflation. 40K, 50K per year is within poverty level for many places in this country.
Inflation is so bad that Justin’s NDAs to 14 year old high school students are now $3.5 million!
Really like our future Prime Minister.
We need a government who’s concern is on the health of the economy and Pierre is the path to that healthy future 🇨🇦
