Has too much time on their hands
Fed Issue #63 - the budget
Listening to the budget.... spend spend spend
http://nationalpost.com/news/politic...federal-budget
- a billion here, a billion there.... they finally saw the opportunity to make gains in votes and will help the indigenous communities with boil water.... but still won't hold the chiefs accountable (any more). $5B more ...http://nationalpost.com/news/politic...genous-affairs
- they will spend a billion on trying to find tax cheats and of course are going after businesses again
- science and research .... any bet it is for CO2 only?
- a big increase in international aid ... sounding like mostly aided at women's programs (probably that fit their agenda, not necessarily where it will do good and help)
- and a pharmacare program is in the works ..... any idea how much that will cost! (another Kathleen Wynne ex-staffer)
- no fees at Federal parks and another billion in spending ...
- $50,000,000 to "help" newspapers ..http://nationalpost.com/news/politic...cal-journalism
they are spending money like it is an election budget. I guess they are trying to help Wynne???
They are completely screwing the future generations!!!!! .... and remember, when they say we are the least indebted of the G7, remember they are including the Pension and CPP funds in their numbers. They promised $6 billion in their election promises and lied again (over 3X wrong) .... if you are a liberal and lie about billions you get a pass... Kathleen Wynne's team creating a national pharmacare .... the job exodus and investment exit will be huge and any short term future will come from the future generations as taxes and debt.
http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/...federal-budget
The document, which details a $18.1-billion deficit, shows Liberals doubling down on the idea that spending money is good for the long-term future of Canadians
Singh only wants to talk about more taxes, closing loop holes and pharma care .... responsibility and debt are really foreign to the left! 
Canada's future is so screwed!
P.S.
Listening to economists and investment experts on CNN, they keep saying optimistic projections, not forseeable return to a balanced budget, uncertainties, internationals looking elsewhere to invest ... all while Morneau talks like he has a crystal ball.... what can go wrong...

So, it's definitely looking like the budget isn't balancing itself is it ????
I also didn't check but how much was allocated for the Trudough family's multiple vacations to exotic lands in our company jet?
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

Probably a weeks vacation out of ever 6 weeks like last year by the sound of it.
Did anyone else notice there was no longer a projection of when they would return to a balanced budget..... 2055 is no longer in scope with this spending and the interest payments etc by then?

The bigger issue about this budget is that those numbers are only good if certain conditions stay the same. A couple of those conditions are low interest rates and the US staying in NAFTA. If any of the assumptions change, the budget will be throw out of wack.
I wonder why we couldn't scale back foreign aid. Maybe then Ottawa would have more money to give a wounded veteran......

Feds are lowballing the size of looming deficits, says budget watchdog
Higher debt service costs, direct program expenses and children's benefits driving up spending
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pbo-...port-1.4631348
In its latest economic and fiscal outlook, released on Monday, the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer says the federal government will face a budgetary shortfall of $22.1 billion this fiscal year — $4 billion higher than the estimate the government presented in its latest budget in February.
It's much the same story for 2019-20, when the PBO predicts the government will post a $21.4-billion deficit compared to the government's estimate of $17.5 billion.
P.S.
And Justin lying to Canadians....

Gee.... they were wrong again ..... as usual .... or did they just waste.... or was it a lie in the first place .... you decide.
Ottawa to run bigger-than-expected deficits over coming years: budget watchdog

Spending billions here and there, pipelines , billion dollar write offs against profitable companies ....
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/chr...ilke-1.4871648
