One has to seriously question if this is the only way that the Liberals know how to balance their budget after their spend-thrift policies and waste have lost or mismanaged billions.

The Paul Martin/Jean Chrétien years saw the Liberals raid the public service, military and RCMP pension plans to balance their budget. And here we are again with Mark Carney raiding the same pension plans in an attempt to balance another Liberal government budget.

How is it Liberals spend without budgeting for that spending, then rely on taking money out of pension plans of thousands of hard-working Canadians to cover their mismanagement of the nation’s finances?

STOP FEEDING HIS EGO

Will the Canadian media please stop feeding Justin Trudeau’s massive ego? The vast majority of Canadians couldn’t care less about who he is dating or what his ex-wife thinks about it.

We are all more concerned with trying to cope with the damage he did to Canada.
