So our new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has hired two new Nanny's to care for his three children. Not a surprise given his new responsibilities, but the fact he is billing the taxpayer for these services is concerning.
Remember back to the election run, when Justin said the rich should not get child tax credits? In fact he said he would personally donate his tax credit cheque to charity. So what has happened since then? Now he wants Canadians to pay for his child care.
In principle I am not really against our Prime Minister getting free day care, but he did campaign on helping the middle class and making the rich (those making over $200,000) pay their own way. Mr. Trudeau was rich before he was elected, and once again promised to lead by example by refusing government money to help raise his kids. Suddenly he now lives in government paid for housing and that doesn't seem to be enough. Now he is all for the taxpayer picking up the tab for his kids Nannies.
The average Canadian can only dream of having the services of a Nanny, but settles instead for a monthly cheque to help pay for their children's food and clothing. A much needed credit given the cost to raise a child in our country these days.
So if Justin can't even deliver on such a simple campaign promise after just weeks of being elected, what surely can we expect from him over the next 4 years in regards to his pledge to help the middle class Canadian.
We're watching Prime Minister!
