With the arrival of a new year
comes a certain level of optimism and excitement for what lies ahead.
But troubling news has come
to light that I felt compelled to share with you. News
that not only affects us, but future generations of Canadians.
Remember when Stephen Harper
warned us that Justin Trudeau would let deficits spiral out of control? The Liberals laughed! They
said it was preposterous – all they were proposing were “modest” deficits of
“only” $10 billion per year.
But over the Christmas break,
Finance Canada quietly released their latest long-term economic and fiscal
forecast. What’s in store for Canadian
taxpayers now? Annual budget deficits
for the next quarter century.
Analysts predict the bigger
deficits could lead to the collapse of our economy. In 2015, our Conservative government proudly
balanced the budget. Since then, Trudeau has implemented terrible fiscal
policies. This will culminate in $1
trillion in federal debt in the next 15 years. And $1.5 trillion by 2050. Not so funny now, is it? It is often easy to disregard the content of
these emails as just regular politicking, business as usual. But this is something new.
The seriousness of what Justin
Trudeau is doing to our country can’t possibly be understated. He is mortgaging the future of our country. He is saddling our children, and their
children, with debt. (it has to be paid
back with interest which can crowd out money needed for health-care and
pensions)
Help us to bring fiscal common
sense back to Ottawa. Our Conservative
policies allowed us to balance the budget in 2015. And we
had a plan to erase Canada’s debt within 25 years. But now we’re facing generations of debt. And
for what? Trudeau’s promised infrastructure projects are
at a standstill, full-time permanent job growth is non-existent, and the
economy has stalled.
I’ll be blunt: Trudeau’s plan to
stimulate the economy by spending more has failed. Canadians deserve better! Canadians deserve a government willing to
make the hard choices necessary to ensure prosperity in our economy. We are the only party ready, willing, and
able to keep Canada on track. Support
us, so we can fight to save the economy of tomorrow.
Sincerely, Rona Ambrose, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
