As we approach the Oct. 21 federal election, get ready for a slew of spending announcements to bribe us with our own money from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

One of many examples to come was an announcement Monday by Families, Children and Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, increasing the Liberals’ Canada Child Benefit (CCB) program.

The Liberals’ considered this news so nice that, according to Duclos’ itinerary, he announced it thrice — in Barrie at 9:15 a.m., Richmond Hill at 10:45 a.m. and Montreal at 3:45 p.m. — and to heck with the size of the carbon footprint it took to get him to all three places on the same day.

This announcement to boost the incomes of 3.7 million qualifying families with children by increasing Trudeau’s CCB — paid for by all taxpayers — demonstrates the Liberals’ fervent belief in George Bernard Shaw’s famous observation that, “a government that robs Peter to pay Paul, can always depend on the support of Paul.”
