@ButlerLonney Who said anything about the poor? We want taxes cut and debt paid off. The poor generally choose to be poor because we enabled them and the way to get them out of that is to provide incentives related to doing better and trying harder! Never handouts

@jbs_76

@ButlerLonney Remember how they voted against lunches at school?

@Woah_nelly_14 Yes. Hungry kids and the CPC said no. It's funny too because when they complain about sending money to Ukraine it's always "Canadians are using food banks" as their main argument.

@ButlerLonney Stephen Harper created the Canada Child Benefit.

@visitorsdigest He created the UCCB and made it taxable income so it did next to nothing for child poverty. Trudeau made it non taxable and lowered child poverty. Before the UCCB we had the National Child Benefit. Again, non taxable. Before that it was the Family Allowance (1944) non taxable.

@ButlerLonney When I do my payroll remittance, every 2 weeks.

@SeroKdnolin Yeah because only Alberta ever pays taxes. Maybe when the oil runs out you can produce WHINE and cheese.

@ButlerLonney Not saying help the poor. Saying keep taxpayer money in Canada. Don’t give it away to foreign countries. Poor have enough safety nets. Middle class is being decimated to support everyone else. Time to stop this.

@TheAshes45 Thanks for proving my point.

@ButlerLonney The oil boom of the 1990s and 2000s helped lift and keep more people from poverty than any "program". Economic development is what's needed and Canadas is being sabotaged at the federal level.

@HiramRichardso6 How so? Trudeau bought a pipeline. How many did the last CPC government build? And oil prices are determined by the global market, not Trudeau. The 90s had a Liberal government.

@ButlerLonney Literally Conservatives help the poor everyday by reducing debt (squandering our children’s future earnings) and creating an economic environment where “the poor” can find meaningful jobs. Money re-allocation doesn’t make “the poor” rich, meaningful jobs rise them out of poverty

@shouse416 Really? When? Harper had the worst economic performance of any PM since WW2. Mulroney wasn't much better. Liberals have always outperformed Conservatives on the jobs front and economically.

@ButlerLonney Every time they made a job.

@didaskeptic Which was when? Harper had the worst economic record of any PM since WW2. Looks to me like that's another Conservative myth.

@ButlerLonney We have to find out first where all of this money is going, and even it it reaches Ukraine or not.

@MyrnaMacke209 Ukraine would already be defeated if it wasn't going to weapons. That's just a fact.

@ButlerLonney Well I was living in ndp ran BC making 12$hr. I came to Alberta and instantly was at 23hr and with lower taxes, lower cost of living, went to a trade school and now making close to 100k a year. Lower taxes and lower cost of living was because of conservative policies.

@ButlerLonney Do you actually believe the liberals help the poor?
