Juno News - The Trudeau government is misleading Canadians

In the lead up to the next federal election, I expect that all politicians will gild the lily so to speak on what they re going to do. They all want your vote and will say most anything to get it. What I don t expect is for them to flat out mislead as a party platform and repeat it over and over as though the electorate are idiots.

00:00:00.000 In the lead up to the next federal election I expect that all politicians

00:00:13.600 will gild the lily so to speak on what they're going to do. They all want your

00:00:18.240 vote and will say most anything to get it. I expect that. What I don't expect is

00:00:24.200 for them to flat-out mislead as a party platform and repeat it over and over as

00:00:30.420 though the electorate are idiots. Yesterday the Prime Minister tweeted out

00:00:35.540 that his government has been quote investing in the middle class since the

00:00:39.920 beginning and will keep being there for you unquote. The Finance Minister Bill

00:00:45.620 Morneau was talking about Canada's tax rate on new business investment when he

00:00:50.600 said quote under our plan Canadian businesses are better able to compete

00:00:55.880 and create jobs. Not to be outdone Sean Fraser the Parliamentary Secretary to the

00:01:02.720 Minister of Environment and Climate Change took on Conservative leader Andrew

00:01:07.200 Scheer after saying he would scrap the Liberals carbon tax and said quote the

00:01:12.680 facts are putting a price on pollution will reduce emissions equal to closing 30

00:01:17.780 coal plants and make life more affordable for eight out of ten families. What?

00:01:24.400 They're all finding ways to spin their horrible carbon tax and trying to say the

00:01:29.760 middle class and business is doing better because of them and their policies.

00:01:33.720 Let's look at a few facts. If the average soccer mom has to pay another $20 every 1.00

00:01:39.920 time she goes to fill out the family van that's not helping the middle class. Let 1.00

00:01:45.080 alone what it does to seniors on fixed incomes or single moms struggling to

00:01:49.160 make ends meet. Never mind the costs for the average homeowner who has to heat his

00:01:54.380 home in a frigid Canadian winter. But at the heart of this is we all are going to

00:02:02.000 be better off somehow. The much bigger effect is what it does to business and what

00:02:07.880 that means to everybody. Business is simple. Buy for a buck, sell for a buck and a half, out of that 50 cent

00:02:14.960 gross profit. You pay your bills, taxes and hopefully have a nickel or two left over

00:02:19.520 to put in your pocket. If government raises a new tax to that that eats into

00:02:24.180 that 50 cents then business has to move to negate the effect of that new tax on

00:02:29.200 their profit margins. There's two ways that can be done. They cut labor or they

00:02:34.200 raise the price of their product or service. In other words hurt jobs or trigger

00:02:38.720 inflation. That's the net effect of the Liberals imposing a carbon tax on the

00:02:43.040 country. The soccer mom still has to go to the grocery store to buy food for the 1.00

00:02:47.720 family. The products get to the store by truck. The company that owns that truck has

00:02:53.120 to hike the cost of making that delivery to the grocery store which will then

00:02:57.020 adjust its prices upward to cover the increased shipping costs. The soccer mom

00:03:01.940 then has to pay more to feed her family. What the Liberals are spouting here is 1.00

00:03:07.280 nothing short of nonsense. They either do not understand economics or they are flat out of a

00:03:11.600 misleading the country. Canadians should not buy into this blatant nonsense

00:03:17.780 regardless of which it is. For True North, I'm Leo Knight.
