Fed Issue - Budget and lies.

[mosquito]

The promise.

The reality, about $50,000,000,000 since the election from his "small deficits" promise.... that's about $1,500 PER person in lies.

and his balanced budget is off by $19,000,000,000 and looks like they are trying to buy the election..... just to put it in perspective that's about $500 PER PERSON in Canada... what do you think of Justin lying and spending $500 of your money to buy his way back into power and distract from SNC?

I kind of like the following video on Trudeau's arrogance so I will include it here too.

The budget worked. It has changed the channel away from Lavscam. The media will stop reporting on it and the imbeciles will vote for Trudough and free money.

[Bluebulldog]

Election year...lot's of promises to spend OUR money. Increasing our debt, and not delivering a balanced budget.

Let's hope the news cycle doesn't pass the SNC issue by...I know Trudeau was likely relieved by the NZ tragedy as an opportunity to take a breath.....

The biggest problem is joe stupid citizen themselves. I watched the news tonight where they interviewed the 'man' on the street and whether or not the budget would have any impact on their vote. One guy said his dad always voted liberal so he'd continue to do the same. One woman said she'd still vote liberal regardless and another said she'd still vote liberal but 'Trudeau had better pull up his socks'. You just can't beat or fix stupid!

And this is reason I don't watch lamestream media, all these positive "news articles" will ensure to qualify for the $575,000,000.00 MEDIA slush fund.

I don't refer to Main Stream Media as news organizations anymore. The last effective non biased reporting occurred in the early 80's. Since then, they have figured out how model the National Enquirer business model, which was the first publication to directly take away weekly readership. As cable and more choice came in, newsprint and magazines took more losses to daily readership.

Today in the instant world of media, corporations have had to adjust, part of that adjustment has created the "Biased Media", that I used to believe was true. The fact is this.

Sun - Conservative
Torstar - Liberal

It is not that either of those papers are, but they pander and run article that meets the demographic of buy, click, view market.

More importantly - NO media organization does balanced stories anymore, and what I mean by that is present a left/right or Pro/Con report and let viewers or readers decide. What is occurring is parroting politicians media lines, that fit the market share of the viewers, articles that fit the demographic of the crowd that tunes in (NZ Shooting).

No such a thing as "News Reporting" anymore, its articles to ensure clicks, online presence, FB shares which ensure the Shareholders are happy.

Sadly, it works and shifts public opinion when you have a national platform to inform the masses, just ask Katie Telford how it is done...

Ironically, I have found the most balanced reporting from the National Post, and the G&M. One being founded by Conrad Black, and the other being the former bastion of Conservative politics.

By and large...mind you. Not without their peccadillos either.

Agreed Sawbill ! The average voter doesn’t put much research into their decision, one of the downfalls of democracy. And those that vote a certain way because their parents did ?? Duh !

Yes, it simply boggles the mind that so many people out there do not take the time to understand the policy and philosophy of each party? The liberal candidate could line the walkway into the poll with dog turds and many would still vote for them! And it's getting so much worse as the years move on.
I hate to sound defeatist, but as I snuggle into the mid 60's of my life, with no children to worry about, I find myself caring less and less about this countries future. The stress of worrying over it is just not worth the effort.

That last video seems like it was recorded by a youngster. Good for him for being wise enough to smell the B.S. from far away.

Everything needed to understand the budget and politics these days can be encapsulated by one thing. But for those that think the Liberals are alone there’s not much to say other than “buck a beer”.....

Giving first time home buyers free money. Is all that needs to be said. It’s clearly aimed at millennials. It’s also clearly aimed at millennials in the GTA, Vancouver markets. Both liberal vote bases. And if you spend the time, research, which demographic has seen the largest drop in support the last year or two.

The very same demographic that propelled them to victory, voted in record numbers last time.

Millennials.

So now everyone else gets to help them buy houses they can’t afford, because. As a country we put all our eggs in one basket.

The GTA.
That’s where the jobs, and money are. And 70% of all immigration goes, where housing demand is insane. And as a result....
