More taxes to come down the road to pay for all of this. It makes striving to be a teacher or a governemnt worker looking like the only way to "get ahead" in Trudeau terminology with a decent pension at the end of the day rathter being in the private sector and being taxed to pay for Canada's largest employer - Canadian Government.

Budget Day for Canada: Let's See What Tricks The Liberals Have Up Their Sleeve to Deflect Attention from SNC, Shipbuilding scandals
With no timeline to pay back Canada's billions of debt, no doubt the Liberals will take today's occasion to promise everything to all Canadians and run up more deficits. The question is only how much and how patronizing will this budget be.

CPP Ads During NFL Playoffs? Your National Pension Plan (That Is, Legally Forced Contributions), Is Acting Like a Mutual Fund?!?!?
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/andrew-coyne-cpp-ads-on-nfl-playoffs-your-pension-dollars-at-work-for-the-liberals
"...True, the timing of the ad is suggestive, appearing as it is in the very week when workers are likely to notice the CPP taking a bigger bite out of their paycheques than ever before. Employer and employee contributions are rising from 4.95 per cent of pensionable earnings to 5.1 per cent, the first of several annual increases between now and 2023.
But the CPP isn’t a mutual fund: it doesn’t have to persuade Canadians to park their money with it. They have to, by law. No matter how irritated they may be at seeing more and more of their wages going to the CPP, there is no way they can withdraw from the plan, and no prospect of the increases being reversed. So why is the CPPIB paying — or rather, why are we paying — for expensive ads designed to make us feel good about all this “saving” and “investment”?.."

Minister of Imagination: MP Navdeep Bains
Can anyone tell me what MP Bains does everyday or what a Minister of Innovation is supposed to be doing? Bains is less visible than Polkaroo ("Imagine, imagine, you can imagine...").
This "innovation" file has resulted in nothing for Canada except hundreds of millions of tax dollars being spent on the Liberal pipe dream of Canada moving away from resources and becoming a global tech giant? In a world where Silicon Valley and Asia have light years of a head start with etsablished tech cultures and industries, tax focused regimes, risk taking private capital groups, entrepreneurs, etc?

Infrastructure Promises, Promises: Remember the Campaign and the Setting Up of an Infrastructure Bank? Well, Nothing Done Yet
$35.5 billion tied up and nothing to show for it. Much like the Liberals track record thus far.
