Madam Speaker, my favourite Liberal talking point is when the Liberals compare Canada to the other G7 countries. It feels like when a teenager comes home drunk for the first time and protests, “Well, all the other kids were drunker.” It is a bit like their claim that inflation was not their fault because there was inflation in other countries. I guess it was just a coincidence that all those other countries were running big deficits too.
I know that for some people, when a bunch of governments enact the same policies using the same propaganda, it can look nefarious. The truth is that these corporate progressive types are not very creative. They copy each other's policies and slogans in a desperate attempt to sell us the same corporatist, technocratic agenda.
We do not need Liberal protectionism, mandates or subsidies. We need to cut competition-killing regulation, enforce the competition promotion regulations and then just get out of the way so Canadians can build a brighter future.
