This government is not about logic or common sense. Rather it's solely about symbology and perception. The perception that the middle class, the Trudeau buzz word, is getting something when they are not. Remember, it's sunny ways, but sunny ways don't pay the bills or help Canadians get ahead.
Two years from now Canadians will be mired in debt with an ever increasing tax demand from government. There will be less services but at greater cost. This is the legacy of the first Trudeau, and this one appears to be no different.
