MALCOLM: If Trudeau’s proposing socialism, the people must be allowed to vote on it – Toronto Sun

In another column, Ivison quoted one senior government official describing Trudeaus plan as a structural change in the way government in this country operates, and another saying, it is literally frightening. I am very worried about my kids future and their capacity to service that level of debt.

The CBC, likewise, has reported that the Liberals are planning to spend money on a scale that we havent seen before.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

Canadians should be incredibly wary of these news reports. Trudeau wants to remake our economy and reimagine our very country. Hes willing to spend any amount of money, to pursue any plans that any bureaucrat or Liberal official can think of.

The truth of the matter is, we already are spending money on a scale we havent seen before. At last count, our deficit for this fiscal year (which were only halfway through) is 10 times larger than it was last year. Our federal debt has surpassed $1 trillion for the first time in our history, and some are projecting that the 2020 deficit will tack on another half-trillion the equivalent of the total federal debt just one decade ago.

In 2015, Trudeau ran on a platform of modest deficits to finance infrastructure spending and an eventual return to balanced budgets.

Instead of his proposed $25 billion in new debt, Trudeaus deficits spiralled and he plunged the federal government into the red by more than $80 billion between 2015 and 2019.

Rather than being held accountable for his broken promises, during the 2019 election, Trudeaus campaign focused on demonizing Conservatives and, with the media on his side, Trudeau squeezed by with a minority government, which he took as a mandate to justify more of the same.
