Summary
Learn English with Justin Trudeau. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has added over $600 billion of inflationary debt, more debt than all previous prime ministers combined, and interest rates are now rising faster than at any time in Canadian monetary history. He's flooded our economy with easy money which has bid up the cost of the goods we buy and the interest we pay. On top of that, he's brought in a massive carbon tax on gas, heat, and everything that is transported by truck. The consequences have been devastating.

After eight years, Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost.
00:00:06.120
He's added over $600 billion of inflationary debt,
00:00:10.540
more debt than all prior prime ministers combined, doubling our debt.
00:00:17.460
which has bid up the cost of the goods we buy and the interest we pay.
00:00:21.320
On top of that, he's brought in a massive carbon tax on gas, heat,
00:00:32.940
Trudeau has given us the worst inflation of any prime minister since his dad 40 years ago,
00:00:39.160
and interest rates are now rising faster than at any time in Canadian monetary history.
00:00:49.200
These are humans' lives that Justin Trudeau is screwing up.
00:00:53.860
Two million people forced to go to a food bank in a single month.
00:01:01.880
Because the average mortgage payment is up over 150%, people are losing their homes.
00:01:09.140
And because more and more people are incapable of buying homes due to these high prices,
00:01:13.520
they're all clamoring to compete for a diminished supply of apartments,
00:01:19.340
Last month, yet another record rent increase after Trudeau promised to bring rent down.
00:01:25.640
This is forcing middle-class people into homelessness.
00:01:29.020
We've never had middle-class homeless crisis like that we do now today.
00:01:35.280
We're talking about nurses and carpenters who live in their cars.
00:01:40.780
This would have been unimaginable before Justin Trudeau,
00:01:44.080
as would the tent cities we now see in every major town in our country.
00:01:51.220
We learned the other day that Halifax has 30 homeless encampments.
00:02:02.220
We would never have even imagined something like that could happen in Canada before Justin Trudeau.
00:02:09.200
Yet, these are the consequences of his policies,
00:02:13.640
which tax, print, and borrow money, driving up the cost on everybody.
00:02:22.820
The government is rich and the people are poor.
00:02:32.340
He spent $54 million on a Rive can app we didn't need, didn't work,
00:02:36.900
and could have been designed in a weekend by a couple of IT experts.
00:02:43.480
He blew a billion dollars on a so-called Green Fund,
00:02:48.140
whose bureaucrats now admit it's more like the sponsorship scandal.
00:02:52.060
The chair of the fund gave her own company $200,000 in grants.
00:02:59.480
And now we learn that his multi-billion dollar grants to foreign companies
00:03:07.380
may be funding as many as 1,500 jobs that won't be going to Canadians,
00:03:19.240
The Polly of government will make sure that every time the government supports jobs in Canada,
00:03:31.400
Justin Trudeau must reverse the inflationary policies
00:03:38.380
driven interest rates up, and cause mass despair and misery.
00:03:45.580
One, we're calling on Trudeau to cancel his planned quadrupling of the carbon tax.
00:04:00.720
until such time as we can have a carbon tax election
00:04:16.160
Two, bring down interest rates and inflation by balancing the budget.
00:04:24.040
A year ago, Mr. Trudeau had promised a balanced budget by the year 2028.
00:04:28.800
Six months later, he announced he was breaking that promise.
00:04:31.920
And all the extra spending that he piled on in this subsequent period
00:04:38.200
forcing the Bank of Canada to keep interest rates high.
00:04:40.720
We have $900 billion of mortgages set to renew into these higher rates over the next three years.
00:04:46.780
We have an emergency on our hands to bring rates down before those mortgages renew.
00:04:52.180
So I'm calling on Justin Trudeau to balance the budget so that we can bring down inflation and interest rates.
00:04:59.520
Finally, my third demand is for the government to adopt my plan to build homes, not bureaucracy.
00:05:08.100
Justin Trudeau has a gigantic photo op fund where he sends his minister on a traveling circus,
00:05:14.000
giving out grants to local politicians in exchange for them giving him credit for housing that was already going to be built.
00:05:21.800
The evidence is that this fund is not building any new homes
00:05:24.760
because housing starts are actually down since the program came into place.
00:05:30.300
What's happening is the money is going to build more bureaucracy.
00:05:35.540
We need a simple mathematical formula that incentivizes cities to get out of the way,
00:05:39.520
speed up permits, free up land to build, build, build.
00:05:42.400
Let's require municipalities permit 15% more home building per year, every year, in order to get federal money.
00:05:55.580
This incentive will clear the way and speed up permits so that we can build, build, build.
00:06:00.440
After eight years of Trudeau, we have the fewest homes per capita in the G7,
00:06:07.480
Let's get building now so that our youth, our working class, and our newcomers can put roof overhead.
00:06:17.300
The common sense of the common people united for our common home.
