How is this qtpa2t doing on economy? Please not just the GOLD XD meme but policies and statistics. Also would be cool though unlikely to have someone defend his economic policies to get a more balanced view.
Also can someone explain why selling your gold reserves now would be good or bad?

We grew 0.6% in just January alone.

Isn't a much higher growth expected though when you massively increase government spending? How is the debt doing? Srs question

I won't defend his economic policies but i'll defend his by and far biggest new spending package in the new budget. It's a new child refundable tax credit that pays quite a damn bit to provide an incentive to increase birthrates. If a family earns 100k/yr and has three young kids they would get $812/mo. If a family earned 40k/yr and had 5 young kids they would get $2,400/mo.
This program exponentially benefits Europeans and is arguably the most pro-white policy taken by a western government in quite some time.

How so? Sounds awesome. You think one could shill something alike in lefty parties here?

Oil dropped 50% and we still ran a modest 1.9b surplus last year. I'll admit that nobody does healthy federal budgets like the Germans do but your debt situation is worse than ours is. I know most of it is from the merge but point still stands.

Ethnic europeans and east asians have by and far the lowest birthrates and not only do we outnumber them by more than ten to one but the vast majority of them came from hong kong and are filthy rich so won't qualify for the benefit.

Sounds like this will benefit chinks more.

our chinks come from hong kong and live in literally the worlds most expensive city (vancouver) so most won't qualify

It's hard not to run a surplus when you're selling all of your gold reserves.

We sold $60m. Ontario spends that every 90 minutes.

it's hard to tell, his government is less than 6 months old, parliament less than 5 and the budget less than 2 weeks
>Also would be cool though unlikely to have someone defend his economic policies to get a more balanced view.
he is taking a spending approach rather than austerity measures via Keynesian models. if you want a defense of this you can just google the wider debate of this approach and whether it has worked in other countries (it's underwhelming at best).
>Also can someone explain why selling your gold reserves now would be good or bad?
good if we really needed the money because the price is high. but the question is did we -really- have to?
the one positive of the Keynesian might be infrastructure spending, the problem with out budget is that it almost omits that at least in places that really need it if you want revive the economic engine. a lot of the budget went to liberal pet causes and maintaining the status quo for the middle class. wealthy canadians and small business lost out on it. so personally, i'm not optimistic.

it's a bit early and you can't really attribute this to Trudeau or call it indicative of his policies. again parliament is less than 5 months old, budget less than 2 weeks
