More of the usual corporate welfare, perhaps?

But, if you're going to have a floor you should be willing to introduce a cap. We've had toll roads here that paid for themselves many times over despite government promises that once the investment was recovered the tolls would be removed. This is just an area where, with the passage of time, graft can set in almost unnoticed.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-25235998164356379982017-06-01T12:49:56.887-04:002017-06-01T12:49:56.887-04:00The traditional arrogance and duplicity of the Lib...The traditional arrogance and duplicity of the Liberals is now back in full force, Pamela.

Harper implemented his neoliberal policies incrementally.<br /><br />This government went rogue almost right out of the starting gate. They have also NOT been given the mandate from Canadians to implement all the policies that their neoliberal agenda requires.<br /><br />This neoliberal promotion by Trudeau comes with many costs to the Canadian people and these costs are not just economic. In the long run it may even cost us our sovereignty.<br /><br />I notice the government lately is legislating more wide spread secrecy. This tells me that there is nore corruption and deception coming.<br /><br />The policies that are inimical to Canadian freedom, the secrecy, the chronic deceit and lies and Trudeau's complete betrayal of the Canadian people on a scale that has no equal to previous prime ministers, including Harper and Mulrony.
