As a middle class family of Canadian (at least I thought I was), I hardly benefits anything from the Pharmacare program or Childcare program during the past 10 days. In fact, all those so-called "benefits" annouced by the Libs meant very little to me and my family. Due to the family income level, there is close to nothing we can call "benefits" if you compare to the raise of living cost from the past 10 years. I am not bought by the "programs". In the end, how comfortable that Canadian feel about their living cost get to say everything, not what those politics like to say in front of a camera.

Unlike the Conservatives who raised the old age pension age to 67 when they were in power. That works out to about $28,000 out of every couples pocket between the age of 65-67. all they had to do was raise the premiums ever so slightly when they got elected but they did nothing about it for 10 years. Everybody knew the baby boomers were retiring except the cons.
Lantsman was given three minutes and four opportunities to say "yes" or "no" to whether the cons would keep or reverse the capital gains tax increase and dodged it on every opportunity. What an embarrassment. At least Davies had some sort of substance in his answer, even though I have no doubt they'll support the budget to keep their pensions.

Jagmeet is not very bright. NDP are concerned about one thing. Pensions. "5. **Interventionism**: One of Mises's critical lessons is the problematic nature of government intervention in the economy. He argued that such interventions, while often well-intended, lead to unintended consequences that can disrupt and distort the market, leading to inefficiencies and economic decline."
