Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are misusing tax dollars to buy votes

Published: July 6, 2023

Since September 2022 Justin Trudeau has been misusing tax dollars to buy votes. The latest campaign of buying votes is Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland’s Grocery Rebate.

The Grocery rebate was purposely attached to Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland’s budget. Its is a blatant attempt at vote buying. A federal election wasn’t called, yet, however the House of Commons (your elected representatives) had to vote to either pass or defeat the March 28, 2023 tabled budget. A budget is automatically a confidence measure that would force an election if defeated.

The Grocery Rebate is one of many vote buying measures Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are using to stay in office. A cheque is in the mail if your elected representatives passes the “Vote for Us” budget. If the House of Commons didn’t pass their budget voters wouldn’t get the money.

In the meantime, since September 2022 Justin Trudeau has been misusing tax dollars to buy votes. Over $4.5 billion was taken to fund Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland’s vote buying campaign.

Justin Trudeau initiated his vote buying campaign September 13, 2022 by announcing that he was going to put “more money back in the pockets of the middle class”. The Canadian government defines “middle class” as a four-person family earning $45,000–130,000.

Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland’s $4.5 billion vote buying measures include:

  • Increase the Goods and Services Tax Credit
  • Dental Benefit to children under 12 who do not have access to dental insurance
  • The one-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit
  • An increase to the Old Age Security (OAS) pension for seniors 75 years and older.
  • doubling the Canada Student Grant amount and waiving interest on Canada Student Loans.

All have one purpose. Help Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland stay in office and/or get re-elected.

What Canadians don’t realize is that the vote buying money is being taken from your tax dollars to help Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland stay in office. They’re essentially pickpocketing. They’re taking your money and giving it to someone else.

Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are campaigning for an election that hasn’t been called yet. They’re misusing tax dollars for buying votes before an election is called because their actions is defined by the Canada Elections Act as offering bribe. Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are skirting federal election laws.
