Reality check: Chrystia Freeland – Trudeau’s expert at shipping jobs out of Canada

When Justin Trudeau introduced Chrystia Freeland as an economic advisor on September 17th, he described her as a “tremendous source of strength and expertise for us” He added: “This is about building the kind of solutions and platform that we need to offer Canadians in 2015”.

What Trudeau didn’t tell you about was Freeland’s extensive experience at shipping middle class jobs out of Canada. Ten days before Christmas 2011, Reuters management announced that 22 jobs at its online desk, in the riding of Toronto Centre, were going to Bangalore.

The Liberals can’t be trusted when it comes to the middle class. Through their records in the 90s where they cut the social services that Canadians rely on, through the last ten years where they advocated for reckless corporate tax cuts, the Liberals have made their well-connected friends their priority.

The Liberal Party takes Canadians for granted.

Canadians deserve better.
