Last Updated Tuesday, September 17, 2019 11:17AM EDTST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is travelling through Atlantic Canada today, hoping to remind Atlantic Canadians why they handed him every seat in the region four years ago with election promises aimed at families with young children.
The Liberals are promising to increase the Canada Child Benefit by 15 per cent for children under one, which Trudeau said would be an increase of up to $1,000 a year for some families. The party also promised to remove federal taxes from employment insurance cheques for maternity and parental leave. It would amount to an extra $7,000 in payments for the average family claiming the proposed new leave, Trudeau said.
The Liberals won all 32 seats in the region in 2015 and the Conservatives, NDP and Green parties have been working to capitalize on a feeling among some voters that the region has been taken for granted by the Liberal government. He also made sure to mention former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper's name, accusing him of "betraying" Newfoundland and Labrador on the Atlantic Accord -- a federal-provincial agreement on offshore resource revenues.
Spend, spend, spend. But don’t attach any costs. Only a fool would believe this phoney.
He should have done that while he was Prime Minister for 4 years. Instead all he is focused on is what the Harper government did or did not do. I don’t know.. Is Harper running again? Time to move on!
Hey meat head where are all the money coming from
That’s great. And CPP Disability? How many Canadians do you know can live on 1300 a month? Oh! And that’s almost too much money to get support from the province.
Why not. Come and multiply. We will pay you. Just vote for me. Trudeau cannot be trusted
WatchCTVNews No thanks!
Who will pay for that.... You are promoting all Lazy Canadians .. making them parasite...
We can’t afford Mr Trudeau being re-elected...
Remember 'the budget will balance itself' so keep making more promises we'll forget about the ones from last election ;)
He would offer up anything at this point. He’s been governing for 4 years. Why didn’t he do this before - it must have just popped into his little head
What will Trudeau cut to pay for this? Will he cut healthcare again?
Wow! Where have we heard that idea before? Oh I know! It's the same idea from Andrew Scheer brought forward in 2018 and the Liberals voted against..Go figure.
What about people who are older, with debt, unable to retire, medical hardships, and care of elderly parents or adult children. Families of all types need a hand, not just young families. We missed out on a lot that young families get today and it shows. When is it our turn?
In other news the media union continues to desperately try and get the liberal party re-elected with their propaganda
He's such a joke. My cctb stopped for 6 months still this this day have been given a reason why. Also the amount dropped almost $100, yet my income has been the same for 3 years 🤔🤔 and my marital status hasn't changed.
Reporters can help by asking the Leaders to 3 questions with each spending announcement.1. Provide details. WhyX% or X number of houses, how did you decide that? Cost? PBO vetted? And where is the money coming from, other programs? New taxes or deficit. Make them accountable!
Why wouldn't he do that before the election? It drives me nuts that reelection is the deciding factor on doing what's good for the people. (or 'promising' to do what's good for the people)
omg... another spending spree with our money... the canada child benefit is very high.. under the liberals i went from making 136 for 2 kids under 18 to making 1000 per month for 2 kids under 18.. we cant go any higher.
no to trudeau.. the budget will balance itself... that is what he said and thinks.. he is crazy.
he is a pupil dilating and high on pot....or worse.. do not believe him.. he is on a spending spree that will take us all down
More promises to be broken. How is this man even aloud to run for re-election?
Why did you not do it before?
TrudeauCorruption
Awsome
My husband and I also get the shaft. I've have over 10 failed fertility treatments ($$$$)and still no child. We aren't childless by choice. All things he's promising none apply to my husband and I. There are segments of the population that always get the shaft from governments.
I can appreciate that, as a family of 6 its tough, I am disabled buying stuff gets harder every year specially with the cuts from the Ford government, so thank you. But please come up with a better way then making everyone else pay for it, Canadians deserve more $ in their wallet

Nice to see he’s not as high on coke today
Hey PM JT what about a raise for SENIORS Living with poverty income. So many have to choose Between R/X medication utilities rent & food.
he's promising a lot again, his to do list is crammed with promises from his first Majority. Now he needs another majority to full-fill his previous promises
Govt would not boost funding, govt has no money - taxpayers would boost funding. Take from you to give back to you, and look like they are doing you a favour.
So us seniors get the shaft again. Where's our tax breaks?
Of course he would. Not his fucking money
Trudeau thinks women are stupid and will buy into his manipulation again this election. He managed to play a lot of them for fools last election so thinks he can keep doing so.
He loves to spend money he doesn’t have. TrudeauMustGo
