New Liberal ad: The choice is clear

October 10, 2019

Ottawa, ON – Today, the Liberal Party of Canada released a new series of ads that highlight how a re-elected Liberal government will continue to make life more affordable for Canadians, protect our environment, and keep our communities safe.

“Andrew Scheer wants you to think this election is about me. I think it’s about you,” said the Leader of the Liberal Party, Justin Trudeau, in one of the ads. “This is your country and your choice.”

As millions of Canadians gather with loved ones around the Thanksgiving dinner table, the choice they face on October 21st could not be more clear. Do we:

  • Build on a serious climate plan, or leave the problem to our kids and grandkids?
  • Keep cutting taxes for the middle class, or give tax breaks to big polluters and the wealthiest one percent?
  • Make gun control laws stronger, or weaker?
  • Invest in our future, or let the Conservatives cut everything we care about?

A re-elected Liberal government will build on the progress we’ve made and continue to make life more affordable for Canadians. Our plan will help people:

  • Save nearly $600 a year, per family, thanks to our tax cut that helps the middle class, not the richest one percent;
  • Save $1,000 a year on their family’s cell phone plans when we lower bills by 25 per cent;
  • See their aging parents’ Old Age Security go up by ten per cent once they turn 75, increasing by more $729 each year;
  • Save hundreds of dollars a month on mortgage payments if they’re buying their first home;
  • Get an interest-free loan of up to $40,000, and hundreds of dollars in incentives, if they want to retrofit their home and save more money on bills;
  • Save on medications their family needs when we implement Universal Pharmacare;
  • Save $800 a year when we lower fees for before and after school child care by ten percent;
  • Get up to $1,000 more to help with the costs of raising a newborn when we boost the Canada Child Benefit by 15 per cent for children under the age of one; and
  • Get more money when we make maternity and parental benefits tax-free, and get 15 weeks of paid leave if they adopt.

“Let’s do what Canadians always do,” said Mr. Trudeau. “Pull together and move forward.”
