How can this pathetic leader claim unemployment is so low by just reading statscan info? Do Alberta, Sask and Newfoundland not exist in confederation? How about all the part time jobs people are having to take up because they're no quality well paying jobs left in Canada. Like jeez, I'm starting to miss Harper by the day.

The minister of finance looks like the tweety bird grandmother!

[brhughes]

money hungry spoiled self centred brats, two corporations fighting to run the one corporation. Playing games with all who have a home here. Shame Shame Shame!

trudeau will never answer when the budget will be balanced because he knows they do not balance themselves,

[brianswanson]

When they get English in quebec Ontario might think about adding more french, this is something we do not need or want.

[gloriak]

No balanced budget on Trudeau's time as he can't answer that question. A new PM will struggle with this to balance. So unfair. Canadians will pay because of this.

WHEN EVER TRUDEAU TALKS, I PUT TRUDEAU ON " M U T E !!! "

[ItsJbrizzle]

Get Canada post to stop striking! it’s ridiculous

[johnswurz]

We, Canadians have never been in such an all time low. Wasts of taxpayer money. Please help next election

[Blackhandofset]

The fact Trudeau for the last 3 years has not been able to answer the simplest of questions but just continuously deflects from the question and rambles on about something completely irrelevant to the question asked is insulting. Why are we allowing this to continue? I am not saying to remove him by force but there has to be some law in Canadian law that allows us to remove incompetent governments.

Lmao why is the poor St Albert guy always getting picked on. I'm always waiting for Mr. Goof Speaker to scold him😭😂

After hearing Trudeau, Trump doesn't seem so bad - this king of social justice warrior's needs to be beat by Maxime Bernier for Canada to be great again

[xena]

How can he get away with this ruining Canada??

[csmith]

I don't like the current liberal government, but why focus on the deficit? CAD is a fiat currency last I checked, no rampant inflation in sight either.

[BuyBBStonk]

The budget will be balanced... by itself !!!

[willp]

The arrogant Trudeau just doesn't care about the working class Canadian -it is time for change.

[neilyakuza]

Canadians made a mistake Justine. Get out!

[MintStiles]

What? Trudeau already said the BUDGET WILL BALANCE ITSELF. How can you not believe that kind of uh eh um uh?

[fahidhussain]

That is not a fact Mr. PM, Harper added 150 Billion, your father added $182 Billion, and Mulroney added $293 Billion, plus the debt-to-GDP ratio is set to increase not decrease for the 2019 fiscal year.
