So in 2015 Peggy Nash was the NDP Industry Critic who went after Justin Trudeau for pledging to go into deficit saying
"Justin Trudeau’s economic plan has a hole so big it could be a tourist attraction. His deficits keep growing faster than the Bay of Fundy tides come in and out."
Fast forward 3 years and Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath has pledged to go into deficit if elected, but she would not provide any further details.
And to add irony to the situaton, Peggy Nash is part of Andrea Horwath policy team who crafted her platform. And Nash will be pitching Horwath deficit spending plan as an NDP pundit on political panel. Touting the virtues of deficit spending. Already she was on Power and Politics last night talking about dental care.
In fairness Jagmeet Singh has come out in favor of deficit spending, saying he doesn't believe in austerity. So is there anybody here who opposes deficit spending? I doubt it but would interested to see if anyone is.
