Stop Liberal spend-o-rama to protect the purchasing power of hard-working Canadians' dollars
Apr 22, 2025
To pay for all this spending, we will see more debt that will threaten the livelihoods of Canadians. Even for a Liberal, the former chief economist at the Public Sector Pension Investment Board called the Liberal platform "Spend-o-rama with even larger deficits than Freeland's that just go on forever." Canadians cannot afford this 4th Liberal term. We need a change. We need to turn the direction of the country around. We need to stand up for hard-working Canadians and the purchasing power of their dollars. That's why as Prime Minister, I will axe the inflation tax. We will do this by by cutting waste, capping spending, reducing deficits, taxes and inflation. We will cut bureaucracy, foreign aid, handouts to corporate insiders, special interest groups and consultants.

hi everybody Happy Easter He's risen
0:03
It's great to be here with so many
0:05
wonderful friends on this uh wonderful
0:07
Easter Sunday in beautiful British
0:10
Columbia as we uh continue uh this
0:13
change election Uh as you know in a
0:17
short time Canadians will decide whether
0:21
after a lost liberal decade of rising
0:24
costs and crime they can afford a fourth
0:26
Liberal term or whether it's time for a
0:30
change with a new Conservative
0:32
government that will cap spending cut
0:35
taxes and bring home affordable prices
0:39
and food uh for all Canadians That's the
0:42
choice Do we want change change so you
0:45
can afford food and homes change so that
0:47
you're safe on your streets or do you
0:49
want four more years of skyrocketing
0:54
crime and costs under this uh Liberal
0:58
government And you know I've been saying
1:01
that uh Mr Carney is the same as Justin
1:04
Trudeau Yesterday we learned that Mark
1:07
Carney is far more costly than Justin
1:12
Trudeau Mr Carney released a platform
1:16
with 120 sorry I understated it Mr
1:21
Carney released a platform with $130
1:25
billion more spending than Justin
1:28
Trudeau had already planned to introduce
1:31
So think this through Justin Trudeau had
1:34
planned massive deficits over the next
1:37
four years Mark Carney has introduced
1:40
even bigger ones Combining Trudeau's
1:42
planned deficits with Carney's new
1:46
promises a fourth Liberal government
1:48
would bring in a quarter trillion dollar
1:53
of additional debt That's inflationary
1:56
debt that will drive up the cost of food
1:58
housing and everything else you buy We
2:02
cannot afford a fourth liberal term We
2:05
need a change in Canada change so that
2:08
you can afford food homes and you can
2:11
live on a safe street Today I'm very
2:13
happy to be joined by uh Souk Pander
2:17
Abby Niar uh Paul Lambear uh Lita Kabal
2:22
uh Raj Vir Dylan Mororrow Francis Tamara
2:25
Jensen Carolyn Finley Sukman Gil and
2:29
we're here today to discuss the change
2:31
election and our plan to axe the Liberal
2:35
inflation tax
2:37
Um now I invite everyone to get out and
2:39
cast your vote As as you know u the
2:41
advanced polls are open today and it's
2:44
very important so that we can restore
2:45
the Canadian promise that anyone from
2:47
anywhere can achieve anything That hard
2:49
work gets you a great life in a safe
2:52
community under a proud Canadian flag
2:55
And that Canadian promise is really
2:57
personified by Tony Singh who opened his
3:01
first store and through hard work and
3:03
dedication has expanded to 20 locations
3:05
across British Columbia and Alberta
3:08
Yesterday we learned that we what we
3:10
already knew and that is that we need to
3:12
deliver change Uh here we are looking at
3:14
the produce that this wonderful grosser
3:17
brings to our people But unfortunately
3:20
after this lost liberal decade of ex out
3:23
of control inflationary
3:25
spending food prices have risen 37%
3:29
faster in Canada than they did in the
3:32
United States during the exact same time
3:34
period For all that time Mark Carney was
3:37
the economic adviser to Justin Trudeau
3:40
And it adds up for families In fact
3:42
Canadian families are expected to pay
3:44
$800 more for groceries this year
3:48
inflation The silent thief is always
3:51
there lurking around your wallet robbing
3:54
you of your money bit by bit and day by
3:56
day It has doubled housing costs over
3:59
the last decade and priced an entire
4:02
generation out of food We've had the
4:04
worst housing inflation under the
4:06
Liberals of any country in the G7 It
4:09
drove up food prices so that 2 million
4:11
people now need to eat at food banks
4:14
every single month
4:17
Inflation is what happens when
4:18
governments spend money they don't have
4:20
So they just print the cash More money
4:23
bidding on a fixed supply of goods
4:26
equals higher prices for everything So
4:29
if you have a fixed supply of say onions
4:31
let's say there's 10 onions 10 onions
4:33
This is this is not quite 10 If you have
4:36
you have a fixed supply of onions here
4:37
What do we have here We have about um
4:39
one one two three four five six seven
4:43
seven onions and $7 in the economy Well
4:46
it's a buck an onion But if you double
4:48
the dollars to 14 you only have the same
4:51
fixed supply of onions Well then the
4:53
double you will see a doubling of the
4:54
price And uh so that is what happens
4:57
when governments create more cash than
4:59
the economy creates things that cash
5:01
buys We cannot allow government
5:04
overspending to drive up the cost of the
5:06
things that we buy or else our people
5:08
will be priced out of the goods they
5:10
need In 2020 I asked uh uh the
5:15
government to stop printing money
5:17
because I knew it would lead to
5:18
inflation It was a big concern of mine
5:20
because I want people to be able to
5:22
afford food And at the same time Mark
5:24
Carney was asked the same question He he
5:27
said that he laughed off the concern He
5:30
said it's unlikely to materialize to a
5:33
serious extent Less than 6 months later
5:36
we we saw inflation skyrocket inflation
5:40
uh then went out of control and Mr
5:43
Carney went on to a new message He said
5:46
that not only was he not worried about
5:48
the rising inflation but that it would
5:50
be a good scenario He said that uh
5:54
inflation would be good for the economy
5:56
It would create it would help progress
5:58
the economic situation Well it did for
6:01
him In fact Brookfield made more profits
6:04
because of inflation they could charge
6:06
more rent and higher prices to customers
6:10
and that meant great profits for them He
6:13
continues to own shares in Brookfield
6:15
which means he profits when inflation
6:17
goes up The the London Telegram graph
6:20
has reported that Mark Carney while he
6:24
was uh in charge of uh the Bank of
6:26
England was like quote and these are
6:29
their words an unreliable boyfriend
6:31
printing so much money that the UK would
6:34
go on to have 11% inflation and it was
6:37
the highest in all of the G7 He also is
6:40
widely blamed for having caused the
6:42
housing crisis in the UK by printing so
6:45
much money
6:48
the
7:00
Brookfield Inflation drove up the value
7:02
of assets for uh the super rich while
7:06
driving down the purchasing power of the
7:09
people uh in the communities like this
7:11
who work so hard to put food on the
7:14
table Now that the Liberals are
7:16
reelected they will add by their own
7:19
numbers a quarter of a trillion dollars
7:23
in extra inflationary debt driving up
7:27
your food your housing and everything
7:29
you buy We can't afford a fourth liberal
7:33
term of inflation We need a change
7:36
Change so you can afford food Change so
7:38
you can afford homes Change so you're
7:40
safe on your
7:41
streets to pay for um all this spending
7:44
we will see more debt that will threaten
7:47
the livelihoods of Canadians Even the
7:49
for Liberal the former chief economist
7:51
at the public sector pension investment
7:54
board called the Liberal platform a
7:57
quote spendorama with even larger
7:59
deficits than freelands that just go on
8:02
forever Canadians cannot afford this
8:04
fourth liberal term We need a change We
8:07
need to turn the direction of the
8:09
country around We need to stand up for
8:12
hardworking Canadians and the purchasing
8:14
power of their dollars That's why as
8:18
prime minister I will axe the inflation
8:20
tax We will do this by by c cutting
8:24
waste capping spending reducing deficits
8:28
taxes and inflation We will cut
8:30
bureaucracy foreign aid handouts to
8:33
corporate insiders special interest
8:35
groups and consultants to be very
8:37
specific about it I'm going to address
8:39
the the the inflated cost of consultants
8:42
which have gone up over a 100% during
8:45
the last liberal decade Uh costing the
8:48
average family today well over $1,000 in
8:51
federal taxes just to pay for
8:53
consultants Can you imagine that You're
8:55
spending over $1,000 in federal taxes
8:59
just to pay for consultants This is
9:03
insane And that's why I am announcing
9:06
today I will cut the federal
9:09
government's budget for consultants by
9:11
$10 billion Bringing it back to the
9:14
level it was under Steven Harper 10
9:16
billion less for high price consultants
9:19
means 10 billion less inflation means 10
9:22
billion more affordable life for
9:24
Canadians Furthermore instead of
9:26
creating more cash we will create more
9:29
of what cash buys We will unleash our
9:32
economy by removing anti-development
9:36
laws red tape and destructive taxes to
9:39
add a half a trillion dollars of extra
9:43
economic growth over the next 5 years
9:46
That will produce $70 billion in
9:49
additional revenue for the government
9:51
without higher taxes but instead using
9:54
higher growth These estimates are based
9:58
these confirmed calculations are based
10:01
on the economic validation of the former
10:06
chief economic analyst of Statistics
10:09
Canada Philip Cross and the former
10:12
assistant deputy excuse me the former
10:15
associate deputy minister at Finance
10:17
Canada Dr Tim Sergeant They confirm that
10:21
approved rapidly approving ma massive
10:24
natural resource
10:25
projects getting rid of bill C69 the
10:28
anti-development law and the tanker ban
10:32
setting up um shovel ready zones to
10:35
approve projects and unleashing
10:38
investment by allowing the people to
10:41
reinvest their capital gains tax-free in
10:43
Canada will unleash this boom It will be
10:47
like economic rocket fuel for our
10:49
country producing more of what people
10:52
need You see if you want to fight
10:54
inflation if you want to have stronger
10:55
purchasing power instead of adding more
10:59
cash you need to add more of what cash
11:01
buys build more of homes grow more food
11:05
and produce more energy And that is what
11:08
we will do We'll unleash our economic
11:11
might so that we produce the things that
11:13
Canadians need to buy This will also
11:15
boost the dollar When you when we sell
11:18
more of our goods on the world stage
11:20
what happens You actually boost the
11:23
dollar and that increases the purchasing
11:26
power for everything that we sell to the
11:29
world and everything that we buy at home
11:33
The globally priced commodities like
11:35
food and energy become more affordable
11:37
when the dollar goes up That is part of
11:39
our plan to axe the Liberal inflation
11:42
tax and make your life affordable That
11:45
is the issue in this election You cannot
11:47
afford another four years of liberal
11:49
inflation of uh rising food costs and
11:52
and costs for homes That's not all We'll
11:55
cut income tax by 15% putting almost
11:58
$2,000 back into your pocket uh if you
12:01
are a working family or a couple of
12:03
retired seniors uh with a pens each with
12:06
a pension will remove the sales tax on
12:09
new homes and incentivize municipalities
12:11
to cut their development charges so that
12:13
you can afford a home that is
12:16
$100,000 less expensive We'll act the
12:19
entire carbon tax We we will get rid of
12:23
all of the costly tax increases the
12:25
Liberals have brought in place I mean
