O’Toole lays out Conservative economic plan focused on fighting inequality

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole outlined a new economic plan for his party focused on fighting inequality through labour rights, protecting intellectual property and reducing Canada’s trading relationship with China.

Mr. O’Toole warned that the younger generation faces the prospect of an endless cycle of dead-end contract jobs with no benefits or job security.The Conservative Leader said “GDP growth alone is not the be-all and end-all of politics” and noted that many of the world’s rich and well-educated have been largely insulated from the pandemic recession, highlighting the need to address income inequality.

Earlier this week, Ms. Freeland outlined her government’s economic focus in a Wednesday speech to Toronto’s Global Forum. She repeated that message Friday in a virtual speech to the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal that was primarily delivered in French.

In blunt contrast to Ms. Freeland’s diplomatic tone, Mr. O’Toole’s speech directly singled out China as a bad actor on the international stage. His speech accused China of “Orwellian surveillance tech, cyber theft on an industrial scale, hostage diplomacy and increasing human rights abuses within its borders.” He called for Canada to curb its trading relationship when it comes to sensitive products.

Over the April to August period this year, new spending outpaced lower revenues as the main driver of the larger deficit. Revenues were down $39.6-billion, or 29 per cent, while program expenses were up $127.4-billion, or 97.1 per cent.

Are women included?

K’erin o’toole proposes to reduce Canada’s relationship with China. O’toole was part of Stephen harper’s govt which ceded Canadian sovereignty to China for a period of 31 years.

Everyone keeps harping on about China but we should remember that it is Canadian/U.S. business leaders who decide to send their production out of country. Just watch an episode of Dragon’s Den to see the advice that is often given to new entrepreneurs.

You can be sure if this nutbar were an Amurican politician, he would be a huge Drumpf supporter. Sad.
