In 2015, Canadians took a gamble and elected a Justin Trudeau government. Stephen Harper had been in power for nine years and voters were looking for something new.

Trudeau checked the right boxes and promised Canadians a return to “sunny ways.” Four years later, his government doesn’t look so sunny anymore.

Distroscale

While it’s been just one term, the Liberals carry the baggage — including the political corruption — of a government that’s been in office far too long.

Now, Trudeau is asking voters to trust him again. We believe they should answer with a resounding no.

Nothing about Trudeau’s dishonest performance as prime minister deserves to be rewarded.

His 2015 victory hinged on support from progressives. He betrayed them.

He promised three years of “modest” deficits leading to a $1 billion surplus this year. He spent recklessly, racking up huge deficits every year.

Trudeau has behaved as if laws and rules he imposes on others don’t apply to him. He violated federal laws twice — with family vacations to a billionaire’s private island, and his political interference in the SNC-Lavalin case.

He punished others over vague harassment allegations, but dismissed similar allegations against himself as misunderstandings.

He exhorted Canada to do more to fight racism, but “didn’t know it was wrong” when he wore blackface at least three times, even as an adult.

Trudeau proclaimed, “Canada is back” in 2015, then damaged our relationships on the world stage. He made Omar Khadr rich while persecuting Vice Admiral Mark Norman.

Enough is enough.

Thankfully, there is a better alternative.

Andrew Scheer offers the moderation and maturity Trudeau lacks.

Unlike the Liberals, NDP and Greens, the Conservatives don’t want to remake you in their image. Scheer won’t destroy one region to win votes in another, and he won’t call you a racist if you disagree with him.

Scheer understands Canadians can’t afford endless deficits and more taxes, offering instead prudent fiscal management and tax relief. He’s pledged to assist seniors, improve services to veterans, and reverse Liberal policies that hurt small businesses.

He’s the only leader to propose real solutions to issues like gun violence. Others prefer pointless rhetoric and measures that strip freedoms away from law-abiding Canadians instead of holding criminals to account. A Conservative government will punish terrorists, not enrich them.

Scheer has pledged to renew strategic alliances and rebuild Canada’s reputation abroad. He will stop spending on foreign aid that ultimately benefits dictators, not their downtrodden citizens, and pull Canada out of the Asian infrastructure bank controlled by China, a nation hostile to Canadians.

Canada can’t afford to roll the dice again. We need serious leadership that won’t embarrass us at home and abroad.

The right choice is Andrew Scheer and the Conservative Party.
