Here is a look at key areas of policy as part of assessing the success of Trudeau. Trudeau and his team often tout certain stats as way to show people they are successful. The problem is that many stats are very high level as such never discuss the details.

Trudeau comments on GDP

5. Economy and the Liberals
from the heart outwards
Economies
do not grow
from the
heart
GDP has many facets to it.
Government cannot take full
credit for GDP. All
government can do is set
policies that encourage
consumer spending and
business investment.

2015 is that Trudeau has been
less than truthful about the
economy!

@JustinTrudeau failed to delivery goods when it came to his Keynesian economics approach to deficit financing.

10. Social Spending and Taxation
 Social Programs
 @jyduclos
 Your government track record on accountability, transparency and oversight has been abysmal. Your
latest approach to having the private sector take over certain social programs is fallacy. All social
spending needs to have outcomes. Your government never looks at outcomes but throws money at
the symptoms.

“Trade is vital for our economy. It opens
markets, grows Canadian businesses, and
creates good-paying middle class jobs –
jobs that pay wages that are 50 percent
higher than industries that are not export
intensive. That is good news for the
middle class and the communities they
call home.
Stephen Harper’s approach to trade,
however, has failed. His Conservative
government has recorded the largest trade
deficit in Canadian history, and Canadians
are paying the price in lost job
opportunities.
While Stephen Harper may sign trade
deals, he walks away from partnering with
businesses and entrepreneurs to ensure
they can succeed in new markets and
create wealth and jobs for Canadians.

 Infrastructure spending
 EI extensions
 Other targeted spending
 Other new programs
- Tax cuts net Canadians $30B in savings

17. Rebuttal #1 – Surplus/(Deficits)
http://globalnews.ca/news/3739447/liberals-deficit-path-bill-
morneau/?utm_source=GlobalNews&utm_medium=Facebook
I am not surprised with this comment as the Liberals expenses are growing about 2x times faster than the
growth of GDP. Here is my surplus/deficit calculation - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/canada-
cpc-and-liberals-surplus-debate. Yet if Harper did the same thing in terms of spending and deficits then
the left would have crucified him. So, why does PM Selfie get a free pass?
Secondly, the economy is projected to grow at slower rate in 2018 and beyond, why? Federal government
is pushing national carbon tax starting in 2018. The carbon tax will take money out of the economy -
http://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/ottawas-carbon-tax-plan-to-shrink-economy-by-
3-billion-hurt-loonie-in-2018-study. The adjustment is small, but it was shave a point or two off GDP.
Canada is also seeing correction in areas like manufacturing, construction, energy and utility sector.
Thirdly, GDP is project to drop back down to 1.9% to 2.2 range
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/gdp-outlook-canada-and-the-world-september-8-2017 - see
slide 3 which shows you that Trudeau growth is same Harper was achieving post 2008-2009 recession.

19. Environment
In 2014 is when Canada was ranked 24th in the world when it came to sustainability including the environment. The Liberals took office in 2015 as such
the ranking for Canada is now 25 when it comes to sustainability. So, where are all these improvements to the environment? There are none! All the LPC
did was keep the same policies with one exception that is imposing a carbon tax on all provinces. Yet carbon taxes have been a failure. Australia yanked
the carbon tax as they were too punitive to the economy and did nothing for global emissions - http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/australia-s-carbon-tax-

20. Open and
Transparent
Government
 One of key to strong government is ensuring the integrity of government is protecting.
Government’s role is to serve the people in terms of supporting social programs.
Trudeau said he would be more open and transparent with his government and that has not been
the case
 Election Promise 2015 - https://www.liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/a-fair-and-
open-government.pdf
 Key Quote
“Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction — to borrow a mangled phrase from a dear departed
Republican primary candidate — that the Liberal Party has brought transparency to the Canadian
government. The Liberal Party has not brought transparency to the Canadian government.
We have known this for some time. Justin Trudeau's star cabinet ministers have made fatuous non-
answers the unofficial lullaby of most press conferences and question periods.
Want to know why the Liberals abandoned electoral reform? Well, here are some platitudes about the
value of diverse voices in our democracy. How closely will the government be involved in its
supposedly arms-length multibillion-dollar infrastructure bank? Uh … can I interest you in some banal
remarks about building up the middle class? How about quotes about investing in Canadians' future? –

21. Military
 Liberals are nickel and dime of taxpayers to cut costs. Liberals have no
fiscal plan to balance the budget. It seems small business, middle class and
military are the target instead of tax havens and tax shelters -


 The military is already stretched including additions to headcount.
http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/about-reports-pubs-report-plan-
priorities/2017-spending-and-human-resources.page. It is hard to
undertake missions abroad when you lack both the resources and
equipment. The Liberals defense plan pushes spending out to 2020 and
beyond - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/military-canadian-

counterparts around the world. Many
presidents and prime ministers won’t agree
with each other on policy, but you need to
respect each leaders position
 There is pattern with Trudeau that is world
does not view Trudeau as heavyweight, but a
lightweight
 Trudeau maybe a fan with citizens of various
countries, but not leadership.
 Trudeau has been called out many times for his
nonsensical statements.

25. Poverty

26. Cost of Marijuana
 Marijuana legalization can lead to the following issues
 More programs to support addiction (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=likKBDWyAB4)
 More programs to help the mentally ill
 Drug-testing for employers. Marijuana is like alcohol as such it does impair your ability to operate
heavy machinery and equipment.
 Police detect devices for drug impaired drivers. How will drug impaired be charged under the criminal
code?
 How will laws be reformed? How long will take it to changed the laws?
 How will the government enforce and collect taxes on marijuana growing operations, i.e. excise taxes,
HST, income tax, etc.?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pot-mclellan-cost-of-
legalization-1.3758981
Taxes on legal marijuana could add up to billions of dollars a year, but before that happens Canadians may have to make peace with
spending to legalize pot. "People — and I think the provinces, the territories and the government of Canada understand this — do not expect
big revenues in the early years," Anne McLellan, the head of Canada's marijuana legalization and regulation task force, told CBC News.
"In fact, there are going to be up-front costs that governments at all levels are going to have to absorb."
Hint: Any new government program will have sunk costs of front as part of the initial setup. There will be ongoing cost to support the
program. It is too early to say what those costs will be to government. It is safe bet to say it will not be a complete windfall for the
government when it comes to revenue

27. Marijuana Market / Size
 A legal market for recreational marijuana could give Canada’s economy a boost of up to $22.6 billion
annually, says a new study from business services firm Deloitte.
 The study estimates that marijuana sales, even initially, would be at least as large as hard liquor sales in
Canada, at around $5 billion annually, but could be as large as $8.7 billion, making them as large as wine
sales.
 The total impact for Canada’s economy from a legal weed market — including growing and distribution,
pot paraphernalia, increased tourism and business taxes — would amount to between $12.7 billion to
$22.6 billion annually.
 The actual number will depend on how the government decides to regulate marijuana, and what price
standards it sets, Deloitte says. Those are decisions the federal Liberals plan to announce next spring.
 Canada's pharmaceutical industry has been lobbying to be admitted to the marijuana game when it's
legalized. Shoppers Drug Mart, owned by Loblaw Co., announced earlier this week it has applied to be a
medical marijuana distributor, a move likely preceding an expansion into recreational marijuana

 More regulations – C69 - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tasker-kenney-bill-c69-amendments-1.5147516
 Trudeau decided to hike CPP - https://www.cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/2019-cpp-increase-isnt-worth-pain-small-businesses
 Small business tax reforms - https://www.bdo.ca/en-ca/insights/tax/tax-articles/implications-of-the-governments-tax-changes-on-the-technology-sector/
 Trudeau is not focusing investment on getting goods to market - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-fdi-foreign-direct-investment-

29. Clean Technology
I have supported technology in any shape or form if it is viable. I do not believe in direct handouts unless those handouts go to colleges and universities as a form of grant to
support the development of technology via private, govt and education partnerships.
1. Clean Technology needs to be viable without direct subsidies - https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/awash-in-red-ink-canadian-clean-tech-struggling-despite-ottawa-s-green-goals-
1.729679
2. Canada has been losing out to FDI related to clean technology due to bad policies like small business tax reforms, hikes to taxation rates (top 15), excessive regulations -
https://business.financialpost.com/commodities/energy/lack-of-canadian-tax-competitiveness-discourages-even-renewable-energy
3. Canada bills C69 do nothing to help get vanadium or rare metals or lithium out of the ground. Canada has potential to be a global leader in clean technology/storage, but
regulations are stifling Canada - https://www.investquebec.com/international/en/industries/mining/a-wide-variety-of-metals-and-minerals-within-easy-reach.html or yes
4. Canada government needs to be more effective in support of plug-in stations – (see slide 23 - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/clean-technology-canada-april-2019)
5. Canadian government should be revisiting their small business taxation as it has been a failure - https://globalnews.ca/news/3741638/canadian-tech-ottawa-trudeau-small-
business-taxes/ - There should be more focus on 3-D printing, expert/vertical farming, Robotic/welding, etc. - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-issues-
technology-sector-canada-april-2019
6. Trudeau government seems to be pushing the failed FIT program on to rest of Canada - https://globalnews.ca/news/4243590/billion-dollar-mistake-hydro-ontario-green-
energy/
7. Nearly 80% of Canada’s power generation is from clean sources. The problem is UN through OCED wants power to come from wind, solar, tidal, etc. -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/power-generation-canada-april-2019
8. Clean Technology itself is not clean as it includes plastics, toxic metals, aluminum, nickel, etc. Those materials have to extracted, refined, fabricated and installed -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/clean-technology-raw-materials-production-and-environmental-impact
9. I support clean technology in a balance way. Trudeau does not. Trudeau is more concern about pushing his green economy at all costs. The goods producing sector is about
30% of GDP. Clean Technology is about $80B business - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/green-economy-canada-analysis
10. Trudeau also talks about transit. Trudeau kill the tax credit for transit, why? https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/monthly-transit-analysis-and-commentary-january-2019

30. Wealthiest
 Wealthiest pay 20% of the federal income tax - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/wealthiest-income-analysis-
and-commentary-canada-2017
 Governments have an issue with their delivery model which is ignored by your post, why?
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/social-spending-and-taxation-government-sustainability-april-2019
 I am sure you believe in a wealth tax, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWarBMfshaA
 Income equality is an issue, but won’t be fixed with bad policies like C69 or C48 or Carbon Taxation or other bad
policies that discourage business investment – https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/business-competitivesness-
canada-march-2019
 You do not fixed income inequality either by handing moneys out to able bodied people or by taxing others to death.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out other people’s moneys! -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/guarantee-income-canada-analysis-and-commentary-february-2019

 FYI – We need to stop finding more ways to tax people and start looking at how government operates!

31. Housing (Affordability
 All levels of government along with the private sector need to start fixing the systemic issues facing
availability and affordability of housing across Canada

@justintrudeau has not been standing up for forestry jobs or he would have gotten a
deal done on Softwood lumber.

34. Carbon Tax
Here is what I told @cathmckenna
 The reality is there are many facets to the environment that need to be dealt with better
policies. Trudeau only policy is carbon tax or bust.

35. Provincial Affairs and Policies
It seems when people do not agree with Trudeau's agenda of Agenda 2030 then they are not team players. I
do not remember Harper having this issue with province except for one. Wynne was Harper's problem!

 Many countries power production is made via fossil fuel. If you have plug in stations and/or other battery devices then they have a
carbon footprint - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-power-generation-clean-sources-canada-february-2019

 Tax on Pollution - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/art-of-taxing-pollution-canada-environment BTW: A carbon tax is like
a consumption tax, right? Both those aforementioned taxes are regressive taxes which means they hurt the low to middle class
more in terms of cost. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-middle-class-canada-june-2019-149149542

37. Manufacturing
 Manufacturing sales increased 2.1% to $58.0 billion in March, following a 0.2% decrease in February
and a 0.9% gain in January. The transportation equipment, petroleum and coal product, and primary
metal industries posted the largest gains in March.
 Overall, sales were up in 12 of 21 industries, representing 56.4% of the Canadian manufacturing sector.

38. Summary
 Canada GDP is struggling to get above 2% for 2018.
Canada GDP has big gap between growth that with
the USA.
 Trudeau’s new c-69 will cause even more issues
with FDI -

delays-senator~1480308/bill-c-69-would-create-
more-energy-project-delays-senator~1480308
 Trudeau is facing more and more pressure when it
comes to carbon tax. Doug Ford has repealed the
carbon tax in Ontario. In 2019 when AB likely votes
out the NDP then AB will also revoke the carbon
tax.
 Trudeau is failing to secure major FIPA and Trade
deals as no one is interested in his social agenda.
 Trudeau continues to put polls ahead of what is
best for Canadians.
 Trudeau has little or no respect around the world
 Trudeau is about divisive politics.
