The <a data-HoCid=\"314774\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> told young Canadians they need to sacrifice. While more families than ever are lining up at food banks, the Liberal government is using Canadian tax dollars to fund a whopping $25 billion a year on outside consultants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8965309\" data-originallang=\"en\">Instead of trying to cause a costly election on a costly budget, why not an affordable budget for an affordable life?</p>",
