@althiaraj @RickPetersonCA Whatever time it was & it was not dinner (supper) time for most it was an abuse of air time & @JustinTrudeau didn't have any specifics, regurgitated old promises & has no understanding that low interest debt is still debt. Wage replacement is not stimulus for job creation.
In a kitchen sink speech, it is pretty incredible that the Libs made mention of "intersectionality" and the contributions of Black artists, but makes no specific promise to increase health care transfers. In the middle of a pandemic.
If mega debt created jobs, we wudn't have the highest jobless rate in the G7
How about a jobs plan that works?
-Bring mines, factories & mills roaring back
-Let steel & trades workers build pipelines that pay wages in western energy & eastern refineries
-Unleash small biz
Disappointing #speechfromthethrone. No mention of #veterans or the importance of our @CanadianForces (other than a brief recognition of their incredible contribution in Long Term Care Homes). Parliament was prorogued in order to basically repeat the PM’s daily press conferences??
To sum up, every undelivered Liberal promise of the last five years has been repromised in a Throne Speech that also tackles a whole new realm of civilian and business problems dealing with a pandemic and recession. Fiscal austerity is out the window.
It's all the same talking points, jargon, and Rosedale obsessions. The language and tone in this speech do not give me the impression that the government understands the depth of mortal, economic, or political shit we are in.
There’s nothing new in the speech from the throne. We lost time for this - a distraction for his scandals. This delay cost Canadians their lives and jobs. Ridiculous.
We are united and strong. We will be bold and proud. We are going to be here for every Canadian and every family. We will put Canada first. That is what our new logo will symbolize for everyone. 🇨🇦
Events like this make me miss my army days; the jump not parades. Transitions are an integral part of military life, which positions members to confront many life challenges. Fair winds and soft landings.
