The opposition parties are making completely unreasonable demands on a budget they haven't even read, threatening government stability just six months after Canadians elected this Parliament. Conservatives are setting impossible deficit targets they know can't be met while the Bloc has already eliminated any possibility of support. Canadians want certainty and results, not reckless political games that could force an unnecessary election.

Liberals are ignoring Quebecers’ priorities while driving Canada deeper into deficit and making concessions to Donald Trump that weaken Canada’s position. Seniors face rising costs, housing projects are stalled, and Ottawa withholds $814 million owed to Quebec. The Bloc is not asking for much — only fair, practical measures to strengthen health care, support seniors, and fund housing and infrastructure — steps the government must take if it hopes to survive.

Liberals are once again putting Bay Street before Main Street. Mark Carney’s budget threatens deep cuts to services Canadians rely on — from longer ER waits to fewer staff handling EI and immigration claims. The NDP is demanding investments in health care, housing, and public services — not corporate handouts or pipelines. If the government wants its budget to pass, it’s on Carney to earn support, not blame others for rejecting harmful cuts.
