SICK OF BEING TAXED TO PAY FOR THIS CIRCUS

[Nonamenobodyman]

the government is not giving you $250, they are borrowing it for you and you will forever pay interest on it without ever paying down the principle. Did they balance the budget to do this?

[johnbezaire]

Every Canadian politician should be ashamed at this non sense

[SaggySnapShot]

Yeah I'd rather PAY $250 to have an early election

[scottyoung]

$250 isn't very much money, and it's going to cost Canadians way more in the long run.

[bowserb]

Trudeau, I don't know what you think standing up for Canadians is, but this isn't that ...

[moonflower]

I am a Canadian, and I dont know a single other Canadian who likes Trudeau.

[winstonthehavenese]

WOW! PM Trudeau is so confident in his statements. With such confidence, Why doesn’t he call an election?

[Zypher-xyt]

Honestly our politics are kind of in a funny place, we have the liberal party that many are upset with, and we have the conservative’s who’s only argument is “let’s make fun of the liberals.” The conservatives will most likely win the next election, but our politics are a genuine joke.

[paulunderwood]

what a complete waste of time. all this pageantry, empty answers, moronic seals behind both of them clapping their hands raw. Embarrassing government system

[Dracoool]

I would gladly donate my $250 to Trudeau if he promises to go away.

[Pandora-Moth]

this isn't a debate, it's a circus

[jocelynecomeau]

Shut up trudeau you were never there for Canadians

[jordankennie]

no one talking about tariffs - JT talking about programs and PP talking about an election. No real answers for how to respond to Trump, 25% increases slowing down trade.

We need them both gone. Canada is screwed.

[Flora.September]

These back and forths are so embarrassing, its like kids in a school yard. I don't want to vote for either.

[AMPSLY]

neither of them talked about the tariff's, what is even the point of asking questions if they're just gonna turn it into a bickering contest?

[westcoastwoodsman]

Secure the border and clean up the drug mess. It's that easy. One would think that this would be a mandate of ANY government. Why is this controversial? Why is this even a problem?

[severvaduva]

If this can be called “ Canadian Parliament “ …No words anymore

[blsignaturehomes]

I hate how both sides act so immature. It’s like watching school kids argue back and fourth.

[MrJeepCanada]

Why didn't he mention that few months after the Tax break the new Carbon Tax kicks in and rises everything from gas to food to everything that runs on fuel?
