I did.You didn't even answer the question.
Dollar for Dollar Tariffs should not have been removed. We are giving up too much just to have conversations.
I think the grassroots boycott is having a greater effect. As well I am of the opinion that hurting the lowest income Canadians by artificial price raises is not a good idea. That's why I wasn't too worried over reciprocal tariffs and instead called for surcharges on Electricity. I wish he would use those now to rattle them.
And that is why you are an ideologue. Everything is based around your ideology, not about what's actually happening.
Maybe if you look at the numbers and your statement, you can do some self-reflection. Might do you some good. I think you would arrive at the same conclusion. You're delusional.
Let's be honest the Martin Chretien version of the Liberals were a completely different party than what we got under Justin Trudeau. The reason the CPC went into deficit was obviously the financial crisis and worldwide recession of 2009. Find me a government that didn't run large deficits at that time. We weathered that storm far better than most industrialized nations. The deficit hit a peak of $55B in 2009-10 than shrunk each year of the Harper majority gov't until reaching surplus of $1.4B in 2014-2015 and $1.6B in 2015-2016 when the Conservatives left office. Then the deficits started to balloon under Trudeau/Morneau mismanagement $17.8B in 2016-2017, $19B in 2017-2018, $14B in 2018-2019 and $39.4B in 2019-2020.Facts are important! Harper DID NOT hand Justin a balanced budget and yet Harper did not have a pandemic to deal with. Please don't waste my time with nonsense. https://globalnews.ca/news/2202138/...traight-deficits-like-the-ndp-liberals-claim/

What is truly disgusting is that Harper was given a surplus and blew it up, and here we are...
Harper exploits short memories | Investment Executive
The prime minister has taken credit for returning Canada to balanced budgets after years of deficitswww.investmentexecutive.com
The reality is that Harper inherited a $13-billion surplus from the Liberals and that the governments of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin reported budget surpluses in three-quarters of their combined 13 years in power.
Again, please inform yourself before you spout off nonsense.
Find me a government that didn't run a deficit coming out of the pandemic . The point is Harper DID NOT hand Justin a balanced sheet.
And today's cons in Canada are closer to MAGA than the traditional conservative party here.
What ideology? That's just a cop out. A simplistic dismissal. Everything I said has merit. You just don't want to acknowledge it because it breaks your argument down.
Yes he did. In the final full Harper year (2014/15) the budgetary position was a $1.9 billion surplus. Go look up the numbers, I actually posted them for you. Stop lying.
Not sure why squeezer refutes facts that Harper left with a surplus budget, only for it to be massacred by Trudeau.
Actually come from the official debt outstanding for each of their periods. Facts are facts. Time for you to give up on this one, another clear loser for you. You must never get tired of exhibiting your total lack of knowledge, even when the facts are easy to check.
It's not a cop out. You're not weighing the threat and the realistic impact this will be on Canada.
A lot of those years were around the great recession, but the fact of the matter is that the last year there was a surplus posted. And even those bad years pale when compared to Justin's numbers, even outside of the pandemic years.

I am. What you are wrongfully assuming is can any Prime Minister stop it through direct policy action? And so we are truly away from fact and into speculation. I don't think so. I think the ball is pretty much in Trump's court and it's his whim that will end it.
Read whatever you want in the numbers. Stats were always vulnerable to be cherry-picked.
