$22.8 billion in new spending. But first, this message from the Opposition benches.
John Chittick summarizes in the comments: Morneau – “free stuff” , “free stuff”, “free stuff”. Scheer – “cover-up” (afraid to criticize free stuff because he wants to get in on the give-away). Max – Liberal vote buying on the backs of the unborn taxpayers (from the only leader amongst them). Singh – “not enough free stuff”. May – “I like your free stuff and wish it came from me”. Canadian politics in a nut shell.

$22 B in new spending and a corresponding drop in revenue as Canada drops into recession/depression. Porno deserves to be drowned out with the pile of nonsense he was proclaiming. Can Alberta leave Canada now?
So wait, the budget did not balance itself yet? Not enough hart I presume?

The Bank of Canada Should Be Reinstated To Its Original Mandated Purposes
JOHN RYAN CANADIAN BUSINESS MARCH 21, 2018
This article was revised on April 9, 2018 to add some additional material and to correct an inadvertent error in the previous version.
Few people understand the Canadian government’s relationship with the Bank of Canada or the nature of the Bank’s original raison d’être. Back in 2011 a lawsuit had been filed in the Federal Court by the Committee on Monetary and Economic Reform against the Government of Canada and the Bank of Canada. The lawsuit attempted to:
[R]estore the use of the Bank of Canada to its original purpose, by exercising its public statutory duty and responsibility. That purpose includes making interest-free loans to the municipal/provincial/federal governments for ‘human capital’ expenditures (education, health, other social services) and/or infrastructure expenditures.

Why do you bother spamming those manifestos? Nobody reads your crap anyway.
You don’t want the People to restore their Bank of Canada out of the hands of corrupt politicians, media and banksters hands.
You are being deceitful, not me.
“You don’t want blah blah blah, spam, look at me I can copy and paste”
No, just I don’t give a shit about your crusade du jour.
Boy oh boy, do you make your living off everyone else’s compound interest for you sure seem to have skin in the game.
Your attempts at diminishing what truths I have presented to the other people here will not work for you actually come across as a vulgar presstitute con man.
Yes that is exactly the case I make my living of compunding your mother with interest or something… thankfully your brilliant detective skills cleared it all out for the rest of us.
It is you who is the twat. All you needed to do was think… hmm I don’t agree with guy and move on. Or if you had an opinion, you could have started a debate.
Your attack on him show that you are disturbed by more than that man’s opinion about the Bank of Canada.
SDA is a civilized blog and I rarely see anyone attack another, unprovoked. That’s what Twitter is for.
Maybe get yourself checked out. You sound pretty messed up and angry. That is hard on the health ….. … are a Trudeau voter by any chance?
That was interesting. People need to be more aware of the banks and their impact on the economy.
So we’re paying compound interest on all our municipal, provincial and federal debt meanwhile all we have to do is put into power a political party that will reinstate the use of the Bank of Canada to its original purpose, by exercising its public statutory duty and responsibility. That purpose includes making interest-free loans to the municipal/provincial/federal governments for ‘human capital’ expenditures (education, health, other social services) and/or infrastructure expenditures.
How come no political party, politicians or media has ever mentioned this.
The biggest best kept secret while we pay half our earnings in taxes which is actually compounded interest on all our debt when In fact if we reinacted our Bank of Canada to it’s original purpose it would be interest free.
We Canadians are the biggest fools on Earth.
Dam…
Is that why they want to implement the carbon tax for they need more of our money.
How much more do they have to steal from us before we all fight back and tell them to go to hell.
Yes thank you for outlining what we all already know. Yet another snotnose teenage libertarian who found the Holly Grail. Do you all come from the same “Max is the only pure one and he will save us” board?
That’s says a lot about your character then.
No one mentioned Max.
No political party and or politician including Trudeau, Sheer or Max has ever mentioned that all we have to do is put into power a political party that will reinstate the use of the Bank of Canada to its original purpose, by exercising its public statutory duty and responsibility and we no longer have to pay compound interest on any of our municipal, provincial and federal debt.
No politician can save us for we Canadians need to do this together, collectively to reinstate what was just and fair for us and our children and great grandchildren.
We owe it to them for it was taken away on our watch though no media, politician or political party ever told us the truth, they all kept their mouths shut for I gather they were to busy bellied up to trough of governmental debts and compound interest and stuffing their faces with our 50% in tax money paid every year.
Kiss, fondle , and make up you two……
CBC’s P & P, cuts away from Scheer’s statement midway, most likely because he’s talking SNCLav. Doesn’t everyone know your supposed to be discussing the budget today ! sarcoff
Morneau – “free stuff” , “free stuff”, “free stuff”. Scheer – “cover-up” (afraid to criticize free stuff because he wants to get in on the give-away). Max – Liberal vote buying on the backs of the unborn taxpayers (from the only leader amongst them). Singh – “not enough free stuff”. May – “I like your free stuff and wish it came from me”. Canadian politics in a nut shell.
Mad Max needs to shear the Scheer sheep.
Thank you concern troll, anything to have Justine re-elected, right?
Justin Sheer same shit same party same end results.
More Taxes
Less Freedoms
It’s the Lib con way….
Geez you Librano trolls get less entertaining with every election season.
It’s the Uniparty Way, a charity like United Way, but for the well connected and established.
Sadly, I think the JWR show is over, the problem was always that most voters figured that the whole point of a Cabinet appointment was that you did what the party brass wanted in a more competent way than your main rivals in the caucus. Those voters who didn’t like what the party brass wanted were not Liberals anyway. Those who did chose the party brass over the renegade MP. This would have played out about the same way if party designations were different except that the media could fan the flames longer with their intense scrutiny (something you have to expect will be missing when it’s the Liberals).
So while the fish may flop on the table for a few more days or weeks, nobody is really going to care that much and the opposition should probably find a more promising avenue to assail this government. Perhaps their entirely fictional concept of weather and climate might have more traction. People have to buy gas and pay for fuel oil. But soon with the advance of spring weather, it will be only gas appearing expensive, opportunity fading on that.
We do owe it to ourselves to confront the elites on this issue. Perhaps a policy to increase the number of mental hospitals to house those crazy enough to want to pay a carbon tax.
Very few people want to pay a carbon tax. But a lot of them want YOU to pay a carbon tax.
Peter, sadly, I think that you are right. Canada’s Borgia cabal are going to get away with it once again.
During Scheer’s media scrum after the walkout, the media questions basically revolved around the thought ‘that how dare you walk out on the God King’s budget’.
Jody, even though with her ideas, we don’t want her anywhere near the Conservative Party, needs to realize the Liberal bosses and their henchmen are taking her for a ride and blow them out of the water again.
In politicians’ feeble but cunning minds it’s a bargain, spend massive amounts of borrowed money and the only cost is the interest payments, that’s cheap money. By the time the principle is paid off it’ll be paid with a grossly devalued currency. I tell people that politicians hope very much for currency devaluation, the bigger the devaluation the smarter they look for borrowing the money and spending it before it lost value. In addition, Marxist economics justifies it, devaluing the currency contributes to the “global economic reset”, the new social-justice phoenix that will rise from the ashes of our horrible evil capitalist past.
But I’m paying 50% in taxes and what I keep is devalued so I can only buy less fuel, less food and less housing so I get screwed twice!
The Queerbek Asstronaut really is a self satisfied prick isn’t he … that shit eating smirk on Garnos face seems to be a permanent fixture with that clown… one wonders what he’s smirking for… perhaps he’s a half-wit… either way, he needs a slap. Willy Morons budget targets the same identity groups the Lib NGO’s targeted during the last election, the buying votes before an election budget. Now that the Media have officially decided that the Lavscam scandal is not a scandal at all and should now henceforth be referred to only as an, “issue” or an “affair”, coupled with Willy Morons, buying the vote budget, then I do believe the corrupt Libs have come up with a winning strategy for the fall election… plus socks and admiring Chinas basic dictatorship, and those working hard to join the middow clath, and, blah, blah, blah… Bananada is back!
I noticed Garneau’s smug smirking as well. It was as if he knew that the Canadian public was about to be fleeced or he was no longer in touch with reality.
I was wondering about that.
Are the Liberals capable of any other facial expression other than drooling lunacy?
Bill never mentioned how this free stuff will magically come into being.
But I guess budgets balance themselves or something.
Oxygen Deprivation.
Senility kicking in. Comes sooner with Liberals, generally beginning at age 18 to 20.
Democracy is the problem here, especially in a widely disparate, universally enfranchised and multicultural society.
The “free stuff” death spiral is reaching a frenzy.
Yes, but, who’s the hunk wearing a red tie in the background? Oh-la-la.
Anna mac,I don’t know who he is , but the pointy nosed blond just behind Marc Garneau was saying on P&P today that this government has created 958,000 jobs since 2015. (He’s probably gay,anyway)
So,the Liberals have decided to ignore the deficit for at least the next four years,by which time they will have added $41 billion more to it, but as that’s their estimate,you can probably double it.
As for SNC/Recalcitrant Indian Broad, as I feared it will be buried and long forgotten by October.
One bright spot was the massive increase given to us Old Age Pensioners as Mr. Trudeau recognizes that rising costs and taxes can make life difficult for those on a fixed income, like himself. I’m overwhelmed by his generosity.

“…Specializing in immigration.” I know what that means. “Oh la la” rescinded.
Early in Genesis, God tells Adam that he will eat his bread in the sweat of his brow.
But, this is Canada and we live in an age of miracles. Thanks to Billy Boy and Prinz Dummkopf, bread will bake itself, and there will be an unlimited supply of it, all free, of course.
The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.
Who can spend money faster: Nutley or Turdeau?
Trudeau. Has access to more money. More important question. Who is better at growing the economy, Trudeau or Notley? Trick question.
steve, trick question??? the answer is YES!!!!:-))))
The cost of Borrowing will impact the Exchange rate, going to .52 Can, that is almost $2.00C per US dollar
The Tides Foundation US funds will buy twice the tribal allegiance as Turdo bribes… Not to worry, as long as Canadians stay in Canada the Monopoly Money works for them….
The CBC starts off, “Seniors, skilled workers and millennials targeted for new investments in 2019 spending plan”
Investments??? Investments are intended to provide a monetary return. The proper word usage here is “bribes”.
Sadly, a large number of voters don’t realize they’re being bribed with their own money, and that of their children and grandchildren. It will work. Trudeau will be returned with another majority.
So the CMHC will lend taxpayers their own money to buy one room in a huge steel and concrete warren.
Money they wouldn’t need in the first place if the Libranos had not allowed the Canadian housing market to be turned into a Chinese laundry for stolen money while all the jobs that paid a living wage were shipped the other way.
The government will have “shared equity?” So, what? Nobody who isn’t a Chinese oligarch will be allowed to own his own home free and clear in Canada again?
It’s the century of mass immigration. So what country would be willing to strike a deal with a couple of million or so well educated, peaceable, relatively rich, right-leaning folks who want to live in a place where their idea of “fairness” is, and will continue to be, the law of the land?
Guess one of the Liberal Government tax-payer Funding Faucet pump handle operators__ Paul Wells __ set the stage for the usual Liberal Party Buying of votes especially the Major Cities.
The specially personally funded by Wealth– that is Family Wealth– will not be covered by the___ pump handler operators/journolists___ simalr to Wells–Paul that is__ the tay-payer funding faucet Well for the News Media — “as long as they are good” so sayth Quebec’s Prime Minister. After all was this one of the reaaly reaaly big problem for Just in with an Attorney General who would not cross over the Usual Line of breaking the Law as it sees fit. The Big Reason for losing her Job was The Member of Lachine is Justin Trudeau & the Attorney General must always break the law if the Member of Parliament for Lachine becomes fearful of not being Elected.
Whiny indians are happy for a couple of days at the news they will be getting eight billion dollars. And now that Big Chief Justin has gotten rid of financial accountability rules we will never know what the money is spent on. At least wealthy people can afford electric cars with the new grant system. Climate Barbie will be excited.
They drowned out the Money Man and walked out!
Priceless!
Liberals looked insulted.
Priceless!
The CBC commentators were outraged at the behaviour of the Conservatives yesterday.
Good, so too with Lisa Laflamme last night.
It was more like a ‘tsk tsk’ look on her stoned face. The only time she’s not displaying a drugged pug is when she’s out of town. I’ve been observing this since she took over from Lloyd Robertson.
The only way for the west to be free of the vote buying debt of the Liberal Party of Canada, is OUT OF CANADA.

If the west does not want to experience Trudeau interest rates on mortgages (I told you he was going to break 30% on mortgage interest rates), the only way is to get out of Canada.

Okay. Where can I get MY free stuff?
It is interesting that so many turn to the parasite for sustenance. I am curious to see what happens when one parasite feeds off a second parasite who in turn feeds off the first. After all governments are really just parasites that feed off their own populations. But what happens when the majority of that same population feeds off the government? Can’t see that working out. Sort of Mobius Loopish.
I am so going Galt.
I don’t know folks. This seems to me the most lackluster budget I ever seen. My spidey sense tells me people don’t care.
I think the librano relationship with SNC is resonating more than porno’s budget.
If the budget doesn’t distract voters and the CPC can keep the pressure on this might not end well for bongo, porno, barbie, the uke sausage etc
The Turdo clan has made many miss-steps… When they failed (shutting down Testimony) to get all the testimony from Jody “before” the Election period, that means she can drop the other shoe any time without affective blow back… Jody needs a security detail, or a banker…..
