A prime minister going the wrong way

… we have a Conservative prime minister who has made and continues to make poor economic and fiscal choices – placing orthodoxy over economic reality. He gutted funding for early learning and child care which would have done plenty to support the labour market and perhaps boost Canada’s productivity numbers. He wasted away billions in surpluses left by the Liberals. He continues to hand out billions in tax cuts. He squandered $1 billion on a meeting that could have been far cheaper to have on a luxury liner in the middle of the ocean. And now the cost of his new tough-on-crime bill will end up costing all of us, in more ways than one.
