Hi John,
Liberal Leader Mark Carney is planning to borrow $225 billion over the next four years, according to the platform he released on the weekend.
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau planned to add $131 billion to the debt over the same time, according to government documents.
That means Carney’s plan is to borrow almost a hundred billion more than Trudeau.
You know that taxpayers can’t afford any more government debt. And you know that you pay too much tax because the government spends too much money.
And Canadians have been getting that message because of supporters like you.
Hundreds of supporters chipped in to commission a national polling firm to ask Canadians what they think about government spending.
Check out the polling results we released today:
- 55 per cent of Canadians want the government to cut spending
- 65 per cent of Canadians want the government to reduce the size and cost of the federal bureaucracy
Thanks to your efforts, this new poll went out to the media today with the simple message: Canadians want spending cuts.
And YOU need to see the poll we released on the weekend: 65 per cent of Canadians are skeptical about Carney’s promise to balance the budget.
In fact, the media’s already blowing up those results.
“Poll finds Canadians skeptical of Carney’s claim to balance budget in three years,” was the headline featured in the Toronto SUN newspaper.
No matter what happens in the election, taxpayers need to be ready to fight to make sure that politicians cut wasteful spending and start paying back debt.
You can join that fight by signing the petition today.
Will you sign the PETITION to call on the federal government to cut wasteful spending?

Thanks for stepping up and fighting for taxpayers – it’s making a difference!
Sincerely,
