Justin Trudeau rises in the House as Liberal leader

Papineau MP Justin Trudeau, the Liberals' newly minted leader, rises in the House to ask the government about increased tariffs he says were embedded in Budget 2013. Prime Minister Stephen Harper touted the government's record on reducing tariffs.

ironic how 8 years later he puts a carbon tax on basic necessities

[MrEccentricGenius]

Wow, he had to use a dictionary to determine what a tariff is. What a leader.

[seanbretzer]

Look at the hypocrisy coming from substitute teacher boy . Raised taxes and started a trade war so now we have tariffs

[MrEccentricGenius]

Wow, justin needed a dictionary to make this speech.

Anyone watching this in 2020 wishing Harper was still PM?

Realistically higher tariffs on goods made outside of Canada would make Canadian goods be on par with the imported items. this would help our economy and also help to stabilize sectors like manufacturing that have been faltering as of late. I'm not exaclty sure why the whole tax cut thing was in there, but what they are trying to do is a good thing.

You realize how dumb your making the left wing look with you capitalize all your letters for sake of attention? I'm a Conservative myself and I support Harper, but regardless of my own political beliefs, I respect an argument when It's displayed eloquently and rationally. You have failed to do either. Plus calling the prime minister an right wing extremest isn't fair to his political policy. The guy launched a Keynesian economic program and has allowed gay marriage to stay legal under his tenure

[onlyrock]

How can Harper even say those things? How? Is he delusional?

[CoolmanEhBud]

If only we could jump in a time machine...

10 Years ago Trudeau was arguing for a stronger China. Times haven't changed.

Stephen Harper's tax were nothing everybody was happy with him. But now we are begging for him to reduce the taxes so we can stay alive in this country or we may have to leave. Which a good? 40. Percent of newcomers are going back from? Where. They came from?

“Trudeau never truly addressed the homeless crisis, nor did he improve the job situation. Instead of fostering organic job growth, his policies during COVID plunged the economy into further decline. His pre-election behavior reflected immaturity and a lack of genuine leadership. After nine years, his policies have stifled economic growth, worsened Canadian-American relations, and imposed unnecessary regulations. His overreach during protests by Canadians who simply voiced disagreement exposed his insecurity and fear. Trudeau’s actions have positioned him as the most autocratic leader in the western hemisphere, undermining democracy and damaging Canada’s global standing.”

dude this the second time, harper isnt evil, hes logical. reducing taxes means less governmental wealth, and in a country like canada (socialist/welfare) less wealth is a poorer standard of living

[leafyutube]

Why do they talk to the speaker? Why not talk to each other?

[batmanandrobin]

Such a clown he the one now imposing all new taxe. A real lunatic.

Iran hasn't attacked any country in hundreds of years - not so the USA though.

Oh I got it, just don't know who Hitlar is.

[HaonProductions]

God, he used the "dictionary defines "X" as..." schtick. I do not want to support a man who uses the oldest cliches in the book.

[BACoughCough]

I don’t see Justin has contribute anything good for our country :(

What ton of money of war on drugs. Just because you have a deadly habit, does not mean we have to cripple the nation to supply your addiction. BTW, shall we dismantle the entire gun registry, and welfare, and the subsidies to the arts program.
