Canadian Budget unveiled: PRO PEOPLE! PRO MIDDLE CLASS! PRO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE!

Trudeau's budget helps everybody but sends the deficit way up. So conservatives are upset that the deficit is out of bounds and they would much rather see people hurting just to keep numbers on a page balanced. So that's the difference between. Pages of numbers matter to some people while people matter to others.

America much worse. Really, if the rich and corporations paid their fair share, our deficit wouldn't have to be so high. But the American rich (and the Canadian rich) would rather take from the poor and the middle class than give up a dime more of their own.

Big big disappointment here. It's not all rosy, but WAY better than Harper!
