REALITY CHECK: Under Trudeau, greed is good

Canada’s rich have been raking it in during the COVID-19 pandemic while the rest of us struggle between anxiety about our jobs and the health of the people we love. The rich got much richer—and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals welcomed this shameless excess.

After the death of hundreds in their care, how does one of Canada’s largest long-term care companies respond?

And what about those big box stores whose profits soared while small businesses went bankrupt?

The audacity of the ultra-rich to profiteer off pandemic suffering is matched only by the silence from Justin Trudeau’s Liberals tacit support this excess.

It’s time for someone in Ottawa fighting for working people.

Canadians deserve someone on their side.
