What’s the real cost of the Trudeau-NDP Coalition? We took a look at the history books
Justin Trudeau is scheming up a plot to cling to power by forming a coalition with the NDP. This is the coalition that you cannot afford.
We know that the Trudeau-NDP coalition will mean:
- Higher taxes;
- Bigger deficits;
- And, fewer good-paying jobs.
The last time there was a Liberal-NDP coalition was from October 1972 to July 8, 1974 under Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
In less than two years, the Liberal-NDP coalition:- Jacked up personal income taxes by 40 per cent.
- Increased taxes on job creators by 66 per cent.
- Raised other taxers by 61 per cent.
- Increased Canada’s total debt by 19 per cent.

The Trudeau-NDP Coalition: Fewer jobs, higher taxes
Both Liberals and NDP say they will halt all new pipeline development
Both Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh’s campaigns mused yesterday about cancelling ongoing and future pipeline projects. Singh doubled-down yesterday reminding Canadians that he’s “fully opposed to Trans Mountain”.
Meanwhile, Trudeau’s star candidate in Quebec confirmed that under Trudeau’s plan “many of these [pipelines] are incompatible with the goals we have for 2030”.
The Trudeau-NDP coalition is the coalition you can’t afford. Their radical position on pipeline development will mean fewer jobs for Canadians and less future revenue that can be put toward health care, education and social services across Canada.
As a result, a Trudeau-NDP coalition would be forced to raise taxes on middle-class Canadians in order to fund any new health care spending.
Only Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party has a plan to build a national energy corridor that will encourage greater investment in the Canadian energy sector. Greater economic development means Andrew Scheer will be able to lower taxes to put more money in your pocket to help you get ahead.October 19, 2019 -
What’s the real cost of the Trudeau-NDP Coalition to your wallet? We did the math
Justin Trudeau is scheming up a plot to cling to power by forming a coalition with the NDP. This is the coalition that you cannot afford.
We know that the Trudeau-NDP Coalition will mean:- Higher taxes;
- Higher deficits;
- And, fewer good-paying jobs.
But, what exactly does it mean for you? We did the math.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has listed his five demands to be a part of the coalition:- Wealth Tax
- Pharmacare
- Universal Dental Care
- Affordable Housing
- Removing Interest from Federal Student Loans
When you combine these promises with the Liberal platform, it will mean even bigger deficits and higher taxes.
The Liberal/NDP Coalition Deficits will average $34.7 billion over the next four years.
To pay just half of their deficits, the coalition would have to:- Raise the lowest personal income tax bracket from 15% to 19.5%
- Raise the GST from 5% to 7.5%
- Cut the Canada Health Transfer by 41%
- Cut the Canada Social Transfer by 100%

Justin Trudeau supported 2008 Liberal-NDP Coalition
Justin Trudeau signed letter endorsing a Liberal-NDP coalition in 2008, just months after first being elected as a Member of Parliament
Justin Trudeau will pay any price to hold onto power. He was willing to do it in 2008 and he is willing to do it now.
As a newly elected Member of Parliament in 2008, one of Justin Trudeau’s first orders of business was to sign a letter to the Governor General announcing his support and participation in a Liberal-Bloc-NDP coalition. https://cpcassets.conservative.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/15120538/0d1734dbea4f1b5.pdf
In fact, according to Brian Topp, one of the chief negotiators of the coalition was Trudeau’s most trusted advisor, Katie Telford.
The 2008 coalition, like the coalition Trudeau refuses to rule out with Jagmeet Singh, would have led to economic disaster in Canada with skyrocketing taxes and mass unemployment.
Canadians cannot trust Justin Trudeau. If he won’t rule out a coalition with the NDP, it’s because he has a secret plan to do it when he is defeated. If Trudeau has no plan to join a coalition, why won’t he simply say it?
Trudeau is already promising higher taxes and bigger deficits if he’s re-elected. Imagine how much more you will pay with Trudeau held hostage by the NDP.
The NDP’s price for propping up Trudeau will be even higher taxes, more reckless spending, fewer jobs, bigger deficits, and more debt.
The choice is clear. A Liberal-NDP coalition that will cost you thousands of dollars more, or a Conservative government that will live within its means and put more money in your pockets so you can get ahead.
