Did anyone in house, deny the pay raise ?

Politicians are ALL the same. The only difference is the colour of the sign on your lawn.

I'm 63 years old and useless budget does NOTHING for me after I've paid taxes all of my life. This government needs to go away sooner than later.

300 years of oil/gas in Ontario alone.

Canada is an extremely unaffordable Country to live in, I feel that the standard of life here is low compared to other civilized countries. A lot of people including myself 41, cannot afford to buy a small home or have a family, both husband and I working full time. This Country is only great for the rich, for average middle class people it's a constant struggle, paycheck to paycheck.

Impoverished Canadians = less co2. This is not an accident. This is intentional. Inflation not only makes Canadians poorer but it also increases tax revenue for redistribution to the lazy class.

[verabrunobossio]

Big oil Canada going to pay 100% healthcare coverage as well as full Dental for ALL CANADIANS!!! chop taxes by 60% for all working class and poor. No need for big UNION thieving insurance healthcare.

Yea and she’s hoping people are ignorant enough to not know what causes inflation. What would the Cons do without trolling?
It’s sure easier than having a platform.

[marymary]

'the more these guys spend, the more things go up' ... I gotta hand it to her on that one.

[Laughandsong]

Hey it's Candice Bergen-Belsen ! Aka Murphy Brownshirt!

[fandal]

Only the usual talking points, no substance.

[cameronwilson]

Vassy: "So if you don't think the government should be spending so much, what would you cut?"
Candice: "Oh there's so many examples of wasteful government spending."
Really? Why not name one then? If you want people to vote for you, you should be up front with them about what programs you're planning on taking away from them.

[richardanthonygilbey]

It’s a bad time for free operations then

[cameronwilson]

As someone who makes just enough to get by and rents their home, how exactly are tax cuts going to help me? The amount of income tax I pay is quite minor and I don't pay property tax at all. Tax breaks help you more the more money you already have, which of course is exactly why I'm not surprised to see this is the Conservative's proposal.

[gordonmacdonald]

Look lady asking questions do you run your household budget that way no wonder Canada doomed
