Trudeau Gets A Raise - Virus Destroys Economy
MPs take a pay raise while raising the carbon tax
Talk about being tone deaf.
MPs, who fled Ottawa over concerns about COVID-19 on March 13, will pocket a pay raise on April 1, the same day many Canadians will be wondering how to make rent or mortgage payments. Itβs also the same day the carbon tax goes up.
Howβs that for a double whammy?
MPs currently have a base salary of $178,900. That doesnβt include their housing allowance for their time in Ottawa or the per diems that they get to cover meals while on government business.

Carbon tax bumps up gas prices in 4 provinces β will it change consumer behaviour?
Gas prices went up for consumers in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick on Monday as the federal carbon tax kicked in.
The tax has drawn heat from across the country, from politicians and Canadians in general, who say it will harm the economy and put too much of a financial burden on consumers.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has been one of the most vocal opponents, repeatedly calling the move a βtax grab.β On Monday, Scheer spoke in New Brunswick saying heβll scrap the tax if he becomes prime minister.

Must We Kill the Economy to Kill the Virus?
"We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself," tweeted the president on Sunday night, adding that, after the current 15-day shutdown, "we will make a decision as to which way we want to go."
President Trump is said to be privately expressing a deepening concern at the damage the coronavirus shutdown is doing to the U.S. economy and debating whether it can be safely reopened.
Though castigated for his remark, Trump has a point.
The U.S. is rightly using extreme measures to meet the threat and control the virus that threatens the lives of millions of Americans, with the elderly sick foremost among them. And we need to do so without killing the economy upon which scores of millions of other Americans depend.

Of course, it if very difficult to get any honest reporting from the mainstream media today.
Their objective is to destroy President Trump not report the facts.
They even downplayed hydroxychloroquine, the βmost effective therapyβ recommended by a global survey of doctors, in order to slam President Trump.
Getting reliable information is difficult.
The CDC website is even confusing.
