From its swearing-in on Nov. 4, 2015 to Feb 12, 2016, the Trudeau government distributed 208 cheques worth a combined $5.3 billion. For some of the cheque handouts for projects inside the country, the Trudeau government dipped into an envelope of money created in the last Harper budget called the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.
But here’s the funny thing. While in opposition, Trudeau’s Liberals thought this Canada 150 fund was a terrible idea and would be used for nothing but pork-barrel politics.
Is there any real difference between a Liberal pissing away tax dollars and a Conservative doing the same thing? Not a damn bit of difference as far as I can see. The NDP would not do anything different either. If I go to the poll next federal election it will be to vote for a Libertarian candidate. If we don't have one I will be saving some gas.
