Fairness, Fairness, Fairness - Maybe if you Say it Often Enough, the Masses Will Believe You; Yet No Notion of "Balanced Books"

Yesterday as The Justin was having his SECOND "me" day after his India debaucle in avoiding an obvious lion's den episode of question period, the budget was released.  Spoiler alert - still no clarity on when our out of control deficits will start to approach a declining trend, or even a plateau.

While claiming "growth is there", in reality, maybe gowth was there for the month of December and/or 4Q2017, but all forecasts are looking towards weaker growth not just for Canada but the world.  This is even more clear as the Liberals participate in their passive-aggressive strategy on pipelines: approving select pipelines yet dragging their feet on actual enforcement and implementation of these economic steroids as well as clearing the legal air as it relates to the BC-Alberta trade spat.

Oh, and as of today, Morneau blames the previous Conservatives for the govenment employees"\' Phoenix payment program, even though the Liberals have been in power for over two years.  It's a payment system - all over the world small, large, public, private, government entitities are issuing cheques! How hard can this be?

Budget Day Today: Let's See How Loopy Things Become

With various initiatives at play as part of international trade agreements and Canadians at home (gender diversity, human rights, sustainability, abortion rights, carbon taxes, manufactured language such as peoplekind) among flamboyant and unnecessary trips by the PMO, Canada will be watching how much worse tax dollars are being spent and deficits being driven higher by this self righteous, everyone should play nice government.

I am betting there is still no more clarity when Canada will be able to pay off this financial mess.  But more Liberal math to dance around question period like Justin on an India trip in Bollywood attire.

Fiscally, Which Canadian Political Party Would You Vote For?

Not only is a ludicrous and damaging trip to India (supposed to be a trade mission), many broken promises and a delayed legalized marijuana deadline, but also the reality of interest rates are against the Liberal party which should reduce somewhat their "Spend! Spend! Spend!" attitudes toward  financing and  budgets. But then again, as has been written previously in this forum, there is "Math" and then there is "Liberal Math" (sources noted below including recognition to Bloomberg).  Somehow, some way this will be swept under the rug without any consideration.  As well as the leftist media will bite on this bait.

Even the CBC Reporting Trudeau's "Trade Mission" Trip As Negative And A Bust

How much worse can it become? Even the CBC "broke" this story (claimed to break) "thanks to the CBC's Terry Milewski" who has been the only one over there to approach and question such topics as a certain airline bombing.

No Fewer than Five Negative Articles About Justin's Indian Travels, The Liberals...Out of Six in the National Post This Morning

It must be easy to be a journalist these days covering the likes of The Justin and The Donald.  Here at home in the Great White North, anyone who reads one of the national daily papers will have seen the Trudeau family posing in India. As one of these comments on the kids playing cricket, a visit to a Jama mosque, and other meaningless events on this taxpayer funder borderline vacation.  The other, reports of eye rolling on the extra fashion choices in India, the embarrassing invite of a convicted terrorist Jaspal Atwal, and the upcoming utopic budget of gender equality, inclusiveness, and everything else that is feel-good that will be paid for by the never ending dollars from a unicorn's ass.  Scrolling further down there is another regarding, "This country has racked up one of the developed world’s saddest records in attracting business investment".

With one day's worth of headlines like this, how does someone like this stay in power?

Even the Canadian Leftist Rags (Some May Say Newspapers) Are All Over Trudeau and His Trade Mission/Family Vacation

You know it is bad when, i)  you are snubbed at the airport for a proper welcome, ii) no official meetings are booked, iii) the only "positive news" are two deals that could have been signed regardless of any governmental intervention or even travel, and vi) even the left leaning media is publishing stories such as....
