HAPPY NEW YEAR: Poilievre says Trudeau adding ‘insult to injury’ by hiking taxes on January 1

"This is Canada's most expensive government ever," wrote Poilievre of Prime Minister Trudeau, who has spent more money during his time in office than every other prime minister in history.

"The cost of government is ballooning the cost of living. A half-trillion dollars of inflationary deficits mean more money chasing fewer goods driving higher prices."

Poilievre then discusses the increase in costs of living as experienced by Canadians. Recent polling conducted by Ipsos found that increases in cost of living is the top concern for Canadians, with 78 percent saying they are "very" or "somewhat" concerned that inflation will make everyday items less affordable.

A recent report also showed that those in a family of four will pay an extra $966 in food in 2022.

"Housing and gas are up a third, so youth can't afford to get to work or buy a home. And families can't afford the extra $1,000 it will cost to feed themselves next year. Not to mention, Canadians spend more on taxes than food, clothes and shelter combined."

"Instead of reversing this high-cost, high-inflation agenda, today the government announced yet another $71 billion of inflation spending, costing nearly $5000 for every family in Canada. Worse, they plan to raise taxes on energy, wages and alcohol on January 1st."

"To add insult to injury," Poilievre continues, "the government is profiting off the same inflation that they have inflicted on Canadians, by collecting higher taxes from higher prices."

"Justinflation: more money for him, higher costs for everyone else."

Poilievre has recently been on Freeland's case both during committee and during Question Period—as one would expect the finance critic to do.

The two had a tense exchange during finance committee on Thursday, when Poilievre asked what the national debt was.
