I don't know what the PM is talking about, the cost of living has gone up a ton. just my families food bill per month is up 300 in the last 2 years, not to mention the cost of heating and fuel cost to drive. they canceled the activity tax credit for kids.. nothing good has happened with this government.

18:50 if you wanna talk math 150 billion over 10 years under the conservatives vs 100 billion in 3 years under the liberals. The vast majority of the conservative debt was from the recession the liberals have yet to face one on a national scale.

Trudeau keeps saying i have 2000 dollars extra in my wallet. What is he smoking. I am paying more in everything. It used to be my cheques would last two weeks now they dont so where is this extra money he says i have. Cant wait till next elections

I love the fact that I can see my hatred for Trudeau in Scheer's eyes. Nice to know that my vote is going to a man that is as angry as I am.

2019 cannot come fast enough to vote his Liberal party out of office.

[Thatguy-mzuk]

They created so many jobs, too bad I never got any of them.

[Killuminatiblood]

"This is the kicker" lmao 10:36 look at the guy to the left wearing glasses when trudeau talks about the middle class

[bpicheroux]

700, 000 new jobs? Lowest recorded unemployment rate in history? Is Trudeau even aware that Alberta is located in Canada? Alberta is in a full out recession.

[brianswanson]

I do not even have 2 cents in my pocket since the liberals got in.

Get out of the UN watch our taxes go sky high until we cannot afford. Houses say hello to sharia law and men with 4 wives are they going to follow Canadian law or sharia? We have pay for their housing and food for life!

[thesisko]

Ya, he will do it by raising taxes to extreme levels.

[Killuminatiblood]

What i like to do is watch the reactions from the people behind trudeau. I wonder how they can bare looking at themselves in the mirror.

[buzzfeedright]

Whats the point in lowering taxes if you can't balance the budget in a bull market it doesn't hold any ground.

[thesisko]

U see what they do is drop a lot of money on temporary constriction projects, enough money so they can report low unemployment numbers while those projects are active.
When they are done u have a ton of peeps sitting on unemployment.

[dennis]

Lowest unemployment? Then why is he importing tens of thousands from foreign lands?

[gamingislife]

How exactly does it work. They do need to always switch langauge

[gussy]

Just wondering why all these people take the names of "Honourable". When in history did hardworking, taxpaying Canadians say that it was okay to add such aggrandizing titles to their names? Do they really think they are deities?

[gussy]

The worst prime minister in Canada's history. So unfortunate, and so damaging to all Canadians who have had to endure his arrogant reign.

[pensans]

As an outsider. Peoplekind is a psycho.
