    But before that happens,

    https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/gunter-canada-may-soon-see-screw-the-west-2-0 Canada may soon see Screw the West 2.0

    There are rumours of annual deficits of approximately 10% of GDP to fund the Liberals’ wild new schemes, such as guaranteed annual income (even for those who choose not to work) and national pharmacare and day care.
    Since Canada’s GDP is approximately $1.7 trillion, that would mean the federal government would borrow in excess of $150 billion each and every budget – with no plan in sight to pay that back.

        I can see GAI and Universal Pharmacare as the two big items Trudeau campaigns on. If he does, I doubt Conservatives will win. The liberal young want GAI and the old want free pills for anything to soothe their problems.

          The next federal election will be the biggest liberal majority victory in Canadian history. NDP are wiped out, those votes go liberal, green party votes most likely as well. Most younger canadian voters have liberal pounded into them from our education system and everyone is guaranteed money for nothing and their chick's for free.

            Was going to hit like but the truth in this case as you said is bleak .
            A huge majority of that group feels entitled now to government money for doing SFA , and don’t care that’s it’s never going to be sustainable, it’s already not .

                I hope we are entering the "Hard times create tough men." phase, but I think we are at "Soft men create hard times." phase.

                  Not sure we can even use the term "men" anymore. Soft non gender specific peoplekind, are creating yet another hurdle to pass before you can get to the next phase. Have you seen our PM?
