Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister's promises are like George Orwell's doublespeak: say one thing and mean another. Let us take a look at some examples.
The Prime Minister promised the fastest-growing economy in the G7; he delivered the fastest-shrinking economy. He promised grocery prices would judge him; he delivered skyrocketing food costs. He promised “build, baby, build”; he has delivered “block, baby, block”. He promised nation building at unimaginable speed; he delivered zero permits. He promised “spend less, invest more”; he is about to deliver the highest deficit in Canadian history. He promised a trade deal with the U.S. by July 21; he delivered higher tariffs. He promised “elbows up”; he has delivered “elbows down”.
The Prime Minister promised a departure from Trudeau. Well, at least he got that one right; he is worse.
The Prime Minister's doublespeak promises one thing but delivers the opposite. When will he stop deceiving and start delivering?
