Fighting rising living costs

The cost of gas, groceries and bills keeps going up.

Family incomes aren’t keeping pace. And more and more Canadians are under stress just trying to make ends meet.

Harper isn’t listening.

While Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are cutting pensions, wasting billions, and widening the income gap between Canadians, Canadians are rightly asking “Who is looking out for me?”

Liberals stand for equality of opportunity.

The Liberal Party of Canada believes that when individuals and families are given the opportunity to succeed, the economy grows and Canadians become stronger. That’s why equality of opportunity is a fundamental Liberal principle.

 

This statement is inspired by policy resolutions submitted and voted on by Party members.
