https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-immigration-and-border-control-
canada-august-2019
• Trudeau has done a poor job on getting goods to market. Getting goods to market would
drive GDP growth - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-merchandise-

12. Trade by Leader
Source – Stats Canada

16. Debt to GDP
Bill Morneau
• No op-ed or selfies will change the actual stats
• Liberals called out @AndrewScheer at the CPC about their economic and fiscal record
• Debt to GDP will not be 27% in 2019
• There were no modest deficits
• Budget is not balance in 2019
• Libs GDP growth on average is 2% (Harper had 2.3% post-recession 2009)
• This is rich coming from a FM that thinks running deficits with no path to balance is recipe for success

Who do you trust more on the economy?
@justintrudeau – Cdns are getting poorer everyday - https://www.thepostmillennial.com/trudeaus-economy-is-a-total-
failure/

@JustinTrudeau promise during the 2015 election that he would change the healthcare funding
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-election-2015-learned-this-week-aug22-1.3200542
Harper funded transfers at 6%, but that was not sustainable. There is a middle ground to be had with the transfers, right?
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/healthcare-crisis-canada-july-2019

19. Environment @justintrudeau whose party only approach is a
regressive tax and yet still allows sewage to be dumped
into waterways.
@AndrewScheer approach is more balance

“Three years after nearly 200 countries signed a
landmark climate agreement in Paris, they are still
far off-track from preventing severe global warming
in the decades ahead. This month, diplomats from
around the world are gathering in Katowice, Poland,
to discuss stepping up their efforts.”

21. Poverty
Liberals need to show their exact calculation for the so called 800K reduction in poverty.
1. Food bank usage - https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/food-banks-canada-for-first-time-releases-hungercount-digital-report-for-all-access-

5. Liberals only tout their child tax benefits which is only marginally better than the CPC - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-child-tax-

affordable?

scheme for first-time buyers

23. Tax Impact
You would think the transit tax credit
encourage people to use transit which it
did when you look at ridership
Trudeau said people were no using the
tax credit and/or ridership was not
going up.
http://cutaactu.ca/en/news-
media/latest-news/transit-ridership-
growing-canada “2017 saw a 1.5%
increase in Canadian transit trips
over the previous year, according to
new data released by CUTA. ”

I am still waiting for @tylermerideth to provide his

off.

25. Top 1% / Taxes Top 1%
Who do you trust to more when it comes to taxing
the Top !%

and/or loss moneys during his so-called tax hike -

@theJagmeetSingh @NDP
You are OK with carbon tax, right? Yet you say nothing about either cruise ships or raw sewage being dumped?
You think a wealth tax will work, right? Trudeau tried imposing higher taxes on the wealthiest, right? How did that work?

26. Open and Transparent govt
2015 Election / Globe & Mail
• Ethical Violations
https://globalnews.ca/news/4951921/justin-

In 2015 is when @justintrudeau said his
government would work for all Canadians. This
presentation will show many areas where
Trudeau fail to be more open and transparent
as at government -

28. Immigration
@JustinTrudeau & @HonAhmedHussen continue to play games with immigration. https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-immigration-and-

• Refusal to work with US to return illegal border crossers
• Refusal to build a permanent fence at Ruxham RD

30. Middle Class Employment
• Middle class jobs have increased under Trudeau. The problem is the main driver of middle class jobs have
been the government.
• Goods producing sector which pays about 40% on average more than the service sector has only seen
about 10% of all net new jobs. Trudeau is struggling getting goods to market -

31. Crime
Who do you trust more when it comes to crime?
@justintrudeau who allows criminals to serve out sentences in healing lodges

@justintrudeau says Canada is back and yet the 2018 global reputation polls shows that Canada’s reputation has slip to #7 -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/election-2019-geopolitical-events-foreign-relations-and-affairs-canada-

@andrewscheer served under Harper who constantly had Canada reputation at #1 position in the world.

33. Infrastructure
@kenthehr can please provide your calculation link? I like to test out your numbers
1. How come there is no funding of the gas tax from Apr to May?
2. FCM has said there are issues with funding, but you say nothing, why?
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-infrastructure-and-capital-spending-canada-june-2019

34. Marijuana

36. Conclusion
 Too many statements are made by politicians that are misleading, especially when data presented is not express either with
complete facts or with the right context
 Too many politicians developing policy based on feeling and not whether the policy will be effective -
https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-public-sector-efficiency-canada-july-2019
 There needs to be better balance between the environment and the economy
 There needs to be emphasis on tax fairness including closing down tax havens, reforming tax act, etc.
 Government needs to undertake more performance audits and operational audits to ensure taxpayers are getting value for
money
 All levels of governments need to look at better ways to managed scarce tax dollars, especially solving issues with
infrastructure - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-infrastructure-and-capital-spending-canada-june-
2019
 Trudeau constant talks about the Harper years as step back what he never shows is that Canada rankings on major policies
areas has lag the CPC record in 2015 - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/cpc-and-stephen-harper-years-as-prime-
