Trudeau has rolled back strict penalties for gang members and will remove minimum sentences for gun crimes

Justin Trudeau wants Canadians to think he’s serious about cracking down on crime.

The only thing he’s serious about is making law-abiding firearms owners follow more laws.

Trudeau has failed to address the gang problem that has been steadily growing over the last four years. He also refuses to introduce stricter penalties for criminals who smuggle guns across the border and into Canadian cities. 

Shockingly Justin Trudeau changed the law so dangerous gang members receive lighter sentences: https://www.surreynowleader.com/news/gangs-in-surrey-the-search-for-solutions/

Trudeau also plans to reduce sentences for gang members who commit a violent crime with a handgun: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mandatory-minimum-sentences-liberal-trudeau-harper-government-1.4103855

Justin Trudeau is simply not as advertised and he can’t be trusted to be tough on crime and crackdown on gang members who commit violent crimes with guns.

How else do you explain spending three times as much on canoes as on fighting crime? https://globalnews.ca/video/5967294/federal-election-2019-anyone-want-to-go-camping-conservative-candidate-criticizing-liberals-proposed-funding-of-camping-program

Andrew Scheer has a better plan – one that goes after the criminals who use guns to commit crimes, instead of law-abiding gun owners.

In the face of scandal, Trudeau reveals platform, making billions in farcical promises to Canadians 

In an attempt to cover up international embarrassment, Justin Trudeau has revealed his platform, announcing a staggering $57 billion in campaign promises. The tally of his disastrous campaign is mounting, and so is his debt.

“Justin Trudeau will do or say anything to get re-elected. If given four more years, we know that Trudeau is going to raise your taxes to pay for his out of control spending,” said Pierre Poilievre, MP Carleton at a media availability in Ottawa.

To reveal the true cost of Justin Trudeau’s poor judgement, the Conservative Party has once again done the math:

• Justin Trudeau’s campaign promises added to his existing deficits will pile on $100 billion of new debt to the books;
• His deficit will hit $27.4 billion in 2020; and,
• Total debt by the end of Justin Trudeau’s second term would be over $800 billion.  

What does that mean for you? Justin Trudeau’s never-ending spending will threaten the quality of our health and social programs. He will be forced to raise taxes to pay for his endless debt and deficits.

To pay just half of Justin Trudeau’s deficits ($14B), he would have to either:

• Raise the GST by 2% or;
• Raise the rate on the first income tax bracket from 15% to 19% or;
• Raise the rate on the second income tax bracket from 20.5% to 27% or;
• Lower the basic personal amount from $12,069 to $6,869.

Further, by reaching $823 billion in total debt, Trudeau is will spend $35 billion on interest payments alone. That’s $35 billion that will not go to Canadians’ priorities.

Justin Trudeau campaigned on a promise to help the middle class. Instead, he raised taxes on 80 per cent of middle-class Canadians and imposed a carbon tax that makes everyday essential more expensive. If Justin Trudeau is re-elected, his carbon tax is going to increase the price of gasoline by 31 cents per litre.

“This election will come down to the choice between a government who thinks they can spend your money better than you, raises taxes, and makes your life more unaffordable – and a new Conservative government that will lower your taxes and put more money in your pocket,” said Poilievre.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S BROKEN PROMISES:

Balanced Budgets:

“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We’ve said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are. We will balance that budget in 2019.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015

It’s 2019, and as we can see the budget did not “balance itself.” Justin Trudeau is running endless deficits that threaten the social services Canadians depend on and if re-elected Trudeau will just raise your taxes to pay for his out of control spending.

Electoral Reform:

“As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015

There’s another election, and guess what? It’s being held under first-past-the-post.

Veterans:

“Our plan will give back to those who have given so much in service to all Canadians, and will ensure that no veteran has to fight the government for the support and compensation they have earned.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform

Justin Trudeau looked a military hero in the eye – a man who lost his leg fighting for our country – and said that veterans are “asking for more than we are able to give.”

Accountability:

“We will restore trust in our democracy.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform

Justin Trudeau was the first Prime Minister in our country’s history to be found guilty of breaking ethics laws, and he did it not once but twice!

Justin Trudeau has stonewalled the Ethics Commissioner, shut-down parliamentary committees search for answers into Liberal corruption scandals, and he is now doing everything in his power to block the RCMP from investigating his office.

Today, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are unveiling their election platform – much like the 2015 version it’s not worth the wasted ink and the paper it’s printed on.

In the last election, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals promised a lot, but once elected they broke promise after promise and made life more expensive and unaffordable for families. Plain and simple, Justin Trudeau is not as advertised. If Justin Trudeau is re-elected he will once again break his promises to Canadians and raise taxes on hard-working Canadian families.

Let’s take a look at some of Justin Trudeau’s most notable broken promises.

Balanced Budgets:

“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We’ve said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are. We will balance that budget in 2019.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015

Lower Taxes for the Middle Class:

“We will give middle class Canadians a tax break.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform

Justin Trudeau has raised taxes on 80 per cent of middle-class families, and his carbon tax punishes everyday moms and dads driving their kids to hockey practice.

If Justin Trudeau is re-elected, his carbon tax is going to increase the price of gasoline by 31 cents per litre.

Trudeau bailing on Munk debate shows he can’t be trusted to represent Canada on the international stage

The Munk Leaders Debate on Foreign Policy was cancelled after Justin Trudeau refused to show up and debate Andrew Scheer and other leaders.

It’s not surprising that Trudeau is running from his record of disastrous foreign policy decisions, embarrassing behaviour, and refusal to stand up for Canada’s interests against hostile foreign powers.

When Justin Trudeau was first elected in 2015 he proclaimed that Canada was back. Instead, he has diminished Canada’s role on the world stage by:

• Pulling our troops out of the fight against ISIS and initially refusing to acknowledge the genocide being committed by the Islamic State;
• Damaging relations with Canada’s allies like Japan and Australia;
• Embarrassing Canadians by bringing a known terrorist on an official visit to India;
• Refusing to list the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity;
• Sending millions of Canadian taxpayers dollars to the Beijing-controlled Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank at the same time that the government is holding two Canadians hostage on specious charges; and
• Giving $110 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which supports terrorism and antisemitism.

But perhaps the biggest hit to Canada’s international reputation came last week when Justin Trudeau made headlines all over the world for wearing blackface on multiple occasions. Justin Trudeau cannot be trusted to represent Canada with dignity and poise on the international stage. He is not as advertised.
