What to make of Singh’s claim that the Liberals are in league with the rich?

While Canada certainly needs to do more to help low-income earners, the CCB is given the lion’s share of credit for bringing about a marked decline in poverty in this country since the Trudeau Liberals took power.

Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh are pictured during the Sept. 8 French-language leaders’ debate in Gatineau, Que. Singh says the NDP would find the money needed to help average people by increasing taxes on the wealthy. Of course, Singh neglects to mention that the Liberal government already did this, writes Les Whittington. Screenshot courtesy of CPAC
