Unveiling his party policy, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is pledging to all Canadians 30% more!

“We all know that the Harper government has failed Canadians with his ideological policies,” Trudeau said to a large group of supporters in Markham. “We deserve better. We need a leader who can deliver. That’s why I’m announcing our proposal to give all Canadians 30% more if elected government.”

The crowd roared in applause.

“We need action and a Liberal government will do this by increasing programs, but decreasing waste. I pledge to you that in the next five years, we will reduce this by 15 while growing by 25.”

Trudeau also stated that he would not make any radical moves, but also said he was willing to take risks to better Canadians. Here’s a breakdown on the Liberal plan:

• Modernizing systems

• Invest in the things

• Keeping that

• Cut it by 12%

CONSERVATIVE talking point is that Trudeau is vague. I'd rather have someone good at the big picture than a Harper who doesn't know why he is doing things. Case in point Harper slowly tries to kill the cbc to stop independant of corporation thinking in the public. But he is afraid of the USA taking over so to stop that he funds commercials regarding THE WAR OF 1812. So thinking independantly of the US involves getting rid of actual critical thinking with cuts to the cbc of billions and replacing that with men(and one woman) in dressup clothes fighting the war again that all tolled must have cost 1million. Harper obviously thinks that will work. He doesn't seem to understand that the worst of america is already in Canada in the guise of his own dam self (Harper is a graduate of the "Calgary School“ of Economics started by Americans as an outpost of the Chicago School of economics). Harper wants scientists looking for grant money to find a corporation to sponsor their research before his government will consider funding the research. How is Harper himself independant of the USA when all of his thinking and actions spoonfeed corporate america. That is what he is doing. And he doesn‘t have the ability to see that his whole transformation of the country is not going to make the country better. At best, if Harper has his way, we will be a clone of the US South.. were people are spoonfed lies to keep power in the hands of the 1% while the people lead lives full of venom and hate in darkness. Harper is blind. He can‘t see the forest for the trees. He‘s clearcutting everything. The whole ecosystem is his target.

Thanks for posting that GOP talking point that Justin is vague. Really got me thinking.
