Despite the legacy media’s campaign to portray the 2022 Liberal budget as modest, comparisons show that it eclipses even Trudeau’s past spending.
The Liberals have projected that they will spend $452.3 billion this year, vastly exceeding pre-pandemic spending in 2019 by $89.4 billion.
In 2018, the Liberals also projected total spending worth $338 billion – $114 billion less than what they’ve budgeted to spend in 2022.
Despite these facts, economic pundits and journalists with legacy outlets including the National Post, the Toronto Star and the CBC would have Canadians believe that the Liberals had put forward a fiscally conservative spending plan on Thursday.
