The Liberals expect our members, friends and neighbours to swallow austerity while they give handouts to the rich and big corporations. This budget will put 40,000 public servants out of work over the next four years. They let key funding expire, leaving care workers overworked and underpaid. They’ve left major gaps in EI, health care funding, child care, and long term care unfilled – but found the time to give wealthy people a tax break on private jets and empty rental properties.
