Every Canadian family will now pay $4,200 more per household for her spending spree. Housing prices have doubled. Food bank use is at record highs. Canada accumulated debt faster than almost every other advanced country, but our economy underperformed compared to nearly all its counterparts, and we have the lowest projected GDP-per-capita growth of any advanced economy for the next 30 years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7777202\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why does she continue to spread this falsehood? We cannot spend our way to prosperity, so will she keep running away from questions or will she just get out of the way?</p>",

Le prix des logements a doubl\u00e9. Le recours aux banques alimentaires a atteint un niveau record. Le Canada a accumul\u00e9 des dettes plus rapidement que presque tout autre pays avanc\u00e9, mais notre \u00e9conomie affiche un rendement inf\u00e9rieur \u00e0 pratiquement tous nos homologues. De surcro\u00eet, on pr\u00e9voit que, au cours des 30 prochaines ann\u00e9es, le Canada conna\u00eetra la plus faible croissance du PIB par habitant de toutes les \u00e9conomies avanc\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7777202\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n'est pas \u00e0 force de d\u00e9penser qu'on atteint la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9. Pourquoi la ministre continue-t-elle de r\u00e9pandre cette fausset\u00e9? Continuera-t-elle de se d\u00e9rober aux questions ou s'\u00e9cartera-t-elle simplement du chemin?</p>"
