Today, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are unveiling their election platform – much like the 2015 version it’s not worth the wasted ink and the paper it’s printed on.
In the last election, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals promised a lot, but once elected they broke promise after promise and made life more expensive and unaffordable for families. Plain and simple, Justin Trudeau is not as advertised. If Justin Trudeau is re-elected he will once again break his promises to Canadians and raise taxes on hard-working Canadian families.
Let’s take a look at some of Justin Trudeau’s most notable broken promises.
Balanced Budgets:
“I am looking straight at Canadians and being honest the way I always have. We’ve said we are committed to balanced budgets and we are. We will balance that budget in 2019.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015
It’s 2019, and as we can see the budget did not “balance itself.” Justin Trudeau is running endless deficits that threaten the social services Canadians depend on and if re-elected Trudeau will just raise your taxes to pay for his out of control spending.

Electoral Reform:
“As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system.” – Justin Trudeau, 2015
There’s another election, and guess what? It’s being held under first-past-the-post.

Veterans:
“Our plan will give back to those who have given so much in service to all Canadians, and will ensure that no veteran has to fight the government for the support and compensation they have earned.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform
Justin Trudeau looked a military hero in the eye – a man who lost his leg fighting for our country – and said that veterans are “asking for more than we are able to give.”

Accountability:
“We will restore trust in our democracy.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform
Justin Trudeau was the first Prime Minister in our country’s history to be found guilty of breaking ethics laws, and he did it not once but twice!
Justin Trudeau has stonewalled the Ethics Commissioner, shut-down parliamentary committees search for answers into Liberal corruption scandals, and he is now doing everything in his power to block the RCMP from investigating his office.

Lower Taxes for the Middle Class:
“We will give middle class Canadians a tax break.” – Liberal Party of Canada, 2015 Election Platform
Justin Trudeau has raised taxes on 80 per cent of middle-class families, and his carbon tax punishes everyday moms and dads driving their kids to hockey practice.
If Justin Trudeau is re-elected, his carbon tax is going to increase the price of gasoline by 31 cents per litre.
