- Hon. Donald Neil Plett (Leader of the Opposition): Honourable senators, I noticed the enthusiasm generated in the chamber when the page brought me my podium. I know you are all anxiously looking forward to Episode 3 of Trudeau’s legacy, “An Unstitched Social Safety Net.”
(1500)
Honourable senators, I rise to continue my series of speeches on Justin Trudeau’s legacy. Those of you who want to take your leave, do so quickly. This is like PVR: You can record it and watch it later on.
An Hon. Senator: In your dreams.
Senator Plett: In my dreams, yes. I dream about it a lot; so do a lot of other people. It might be your nightmare. It’s my dream.
Today, I want to focus on the state of Canada’s social safety net under the Trudeau government. I know that for some of the Trudeau-appointed senators, having a Conservative senator point out the failures of Justin Trudeau is a colossal waste of time, as we heard the other day right here in Question Period. They would prefer to debate the virtue of the Liberal 2015 agenda and how enlightened they all are.
I’m sorry to break the news, colleagues. Canadians are hurting. And, no, stating the facts about that and pointing out the responsibility of Justin Trudeau for this suffering are not a colossal waste of time. It is a fact that over the last nine years, Canadians have seen and felt the constant unstitching of our social safety net. Not a week goes by that we don’t read a story or view a report on the state of homelessness in this country, on the near impossibility of Canadians’ becoming homeowners or on the state of food banks that are being stretched by the overwhelming demands placed on them.
Under Justin Trudeau, housing costs have doubled, mortgage payments have doubled, and rents have doubled. After nine years of Justin Trudeau, one in four Canadians are skipping meals because they can’t afford to eat three times a day.
I don’t know how this isn’t worth listening to. In the last three years alone, the use of food banks has increased by 50%. There is 38% more homelessness in our country compared to 2019. There are now 256 homeless encampments in Toronto alone. It is becoming clearer and clearer that the primary needs of vulnerable Canadians are unmet in the ongoing affordability crisis. Buying food is becoming more difficult. Owning or renting a home is nearly impossible. Universal health care is less accessible. Food, shelter and health care - more and more Canadians struggle to access those basic needs. That is the Canada that Justin Trudeau is leaving behind. This is Justin Trudeau’s legacy.
Let me read a few of the headlines in Canadian media in the last few weeks: “Canada at ‘critical turning point’ as poverty worsens, warns report”; “Insolvencies jump sharply as Canadians struggle with debt more than ever”; “Almost half of Canadians living paycheque to paycheque: poll”; “Credit debt grows as Canadians struggle with spike in cost of living and bills they just can’t pay”; “1 in 4 Canadians fear income won’t cover basic needs . . .”; “Cost of energy forcing many to go without necessities, StatsCan survey says”; “Financial stress taking toll on Canadians’ mental health, personal relationships”; “Food insecurity in Canada at a crisis stage”; “Canadians getting sick trying to cut food costs: study”; “Canadian food banks on the brink: ‘This is not a sustainable situation’”; “Housing crisis. Foodflation. Record gas prices. Canada is at a crossroads . . .”; “Most Canadians think economy, health care worse under Trudeau . . .”; “The Trudeau paradox of more spending and more hunger”; “Trudeau cranks up spending but Canadians are worse off.”
Those are not Conservative talking points, colleagues. Those are headlines in the news media - the media that are deemed acceptable by the Liberals and the Trudeau-appointed senators.
This should not be a surprise. Canada is getting poorer and poorer. Canada’s inflation-adjusted GDP per capita has fallen 3% in the last four years. This is one of the steepest and longest declines of this measure of wealth in Canadian history. American GDP per capita has grown by more than 8% since 2019, while Canada’s has fallen. Canada’s economy is underperforming the American economy by the widest margin since 1965.
Justin Trudeau’s policies have driven out investments, weakened workers’ paycheques and increased the cost of living for every Canadian. They are why we are in a productivity crisis. Had they held the same trend line that the former Conservative government left them on, Canadians would be $4,200 richer today. Instead, we are in an affordability crisis, a productivity crisis and at risk of a debt crisis.
Thank you, Senator Platt for speaking up Canada needs more like you.
Many more, but Senate is nominated, NOT elected!!!
Now, there's a change needed. Also, the GG and all the British Royalist BS has to go!
Seriously????? More old pigs at the trough??? Sure. O yeah
You're my Canadian Hero Senator Plett. God Bless you Sir.
Literal comment; He is a symbol (hair colour, suit colour, surroundings) and is speaking in a manner that is an ad of himself. Everything is done in symbol. They mirror you, that's it. This is not meant to be interpreted literally. The entire world as you understand it is not meant to be understood literally. Everything is done in metaphor.
God bless you, Senator Plett. You're a good man. Sincerely, Rich A.
This man is unreal! Canada needs more like him! Bravo, excellent speech!
🎉IMPERATIVE THAT SENATOR PLETT IS ALLOWED TO STATE~>TRUE FACTS.📢🔔🎯‼️
My MP (NDP) will not respond to any of Sen. Platt's comments
@@stevet599will not? Or cannot?
We need more men like you Sir. Thank you.
Thank You Senator Plett
thank you, Don Plett, 100%
We need to bring back the Dr. And Nurses that were let go back in 2021 . This was a fault of the government. All parties.
YES
What a disgrace. In BC, the government states (on TV) that it is actively recruiting.... they don't tell you what conditions are being applied to applicants! (Covid lingers on....)
Alberta brought them all back in 2022.
Broght all what back? The mandates? Or the unemployed? @@doug6784
Great speaker!
Please don’t retire Senator Plett. Canada needs you! I can’t believe you’re having to speak on such things in Canada. This is the Hell Justin Trudeau has brought to our once great country. God Bless you Senator Plett!
The country and most of its people are amazing it is up to us Canadians to bring this to the only conclusion it must come to public removal of Trudeau and his party and all who served Trudeau and not their constituents I do believe there's a hell of a lot more that meets the eye
He has to retire. He aged out, but it is too bad. He’s a great representative.
This man is wonderful
Literal comment; He's speaking in metaphor. This is not meant to be interpreted literally. What he is saying is what he looks like as a symbol. He is an ad of himself. That's it. All these people speak in metaphor, and all they do is mirror you.
Isn’t he? I could listen to him forever, and it sure sounds like he could sadly
Senator would also make a great prime minister.
I WOULD VOTE FOR SENATOR PLETT
Thank you so much Senator Plett 😊👍
These episodes will be future treasures as you have eloquently proven to Canadians why there should never ever be a trudeau in power in this beautiful, but broken, country ever again. 🇨🇦
Thank you for exposing Trudeau's incompetence.. he is by far the worst PM ever ..
He has a longer "Trudeau" foul list longer than mine. I thought mine was long!
Literal comment; He is an ad of himself. What he looks like, what he's wearing is symbolic, and his language matches what he represents as a symbol. That's it. It's just hot air.
@@stevet599 Stop whining and take responsibility for your own mess.
Thanks Senator Don Plett !
Thank you Mr. Plett for trying to help Canada, born and raised in Ontario, never followed politics until 3 years ago now follow everything, im so scared for Canada, i love my country Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Yes, in the past, many Canadians could live their lives as a-politicals.
And that is how it should be. We want a well run country with, run with VISION. All aimed at doing good to its citizens. Building families and shaping and supporting youth and young adults.
Moral, ethical, fed clothed and benefited .
Guided toward good things not wasted lives. Not broken families and selfish directions.
Thank you, Mr Plett for reminding us of everything this Trudeau regime has done to our country !
I don't need reminding, I, and many others, are LIVING it!!!!
@@stevet599 Talk to Loblaws for high food prices and use an iron to straighten.out the facts!
I love this man!! He speaks nothing but the truth
The entire justice department should declare a NATIONAL EMERGENCY and allow Canadians to vote out these failures (Liberal/NDP) and give us a fresh start with Pierre at the helm!
GOD BLESS YOU......l watched all three and they where amazing thank you so much
Thank you for standing up for us Canadians.
Thank you Senitor Plett for speaking the truth for Canadians. Trudeau must be incarcerated and stripped of his pension to save our country, democracy, and our freedom! Enough is enough of this attack on our country from Trudeau!!
and made to pay what his scammers ripped canadians off for!
Thank you Senator Plett. Your work is always appreciated.
I agree senitor plett would make a good pm truly a honorable man sad to see him retire i never miss a episode
Listen to this man.
I’m about to go grocery shopping right now and I’m worried how much it’ll cost.
Give them hell Don!
Senator Plett you have more 🏈 ⚽ ⚾ than the entire "coalition government!!!!!
What a wonderful presentation of truth...God Bless you🙏.
Hon Donald Plett thank you for your service please keep us informed ❤
Great speech from a TRUE CANADIAN patriot.
Thank you for speaking out for democracy. You are a hero
Letstemove all of justin trudeaus wealth
Let's audit it and find out just HOW it came to be!
Jealous much? Sure you are.
🌪️tRUDEau has got to go💨🫧🌫️
✝️🌹Mr. Plett, Donald, May the grace of God continues to shine upon you and. God Bless your heart for your hard work. May God's hands hold you tight and protect you✝️🌹✝️✝️. Amen.
We don't need "God", just common sense.... I can't live as Trudeau runs this country... I'm measured against fiscal parameters.... so should he and his government
Watched all 3 episodes. Very well done. Sad to see you leaving as Senator. You will be greatly missed Senator Plett. ❤❤ Wish you the best as you journey outside of Parliament.
I'm 63 and have been working since l was 16 and l will never be able to retire, death is my retirement plan.
This in itself is a SIN!
I’m 63 also. And my wife asked when I think I may retire. I told her I have to make an appointment to plan it at the funeral home
l'm so sorry that this is the way it's turned out for meny of us in our age group. I wish you all the best and l will pray for you. You never know maybe we will meet on the other side, I hope it's really nice over there as l think l need a long vacation .😅🤣😂🏝🏖🏞🏜🗻
LOOK what 2 weeks to flatten the curve turned into! Conspiracy theorists are batting a 1000!
💯!!
MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN
I drove by and saw older lady about age 80 pushing her worldly goods in a shopping cart in Moncton NB! I've never voted Liberal BTW. This is unacceptable! How are families feeding nutritious meals for their children?
That’s going to be me in a month.
We have to chose between food and paying utilities.
You don't need to be in Monkton.... any small town in Canada will do
Food not tampons
...or contraceptives. If Canadians don't reproduce then we'll need/justify more mass migration.
Is this a policy?
Thank you Sen. Plett . We hope your colleagues r listening.
Thank You so much Senator Plett, it is so nice to hear someone saying truths that affect our Great Land known as Canada, Our True North Strong and Free….may the Good Lord guide us through these seemingly hopeless times….❗️❗️❗️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why are there so many seats empty ? Do they not get paid enough to show up ??
They all walked out! It’s just disgusting. Shame on them. Can’t stand to hear the truth.
There are 105 senators in the Canadian senate and 70 of them have been appointed by Justin Trudeau. So even after he’s voted out, the Senate will act as his proxy and continue to destroy Canada. The election won’t change much I’m afraid. I believe Celtic Canuck had a good video on TH-cam explaining this 1-2 months ago. We’re sunk.
Everyone that leaves or dosen't show up for work should not get paid, like the rest of us.
My comments get erased. Look up how many senators were JT appointees. Things will not change after an election, he stacked the deck 70/105
Plett’s speeches should not be dismissed as partisan. He is summarizing the hard truth that Canadians must here and respond to
Very well said 🙏🙏. Thanks 🙏
You’re brilliant!
Way to go! WE need you to be : our next PM💥⭐️.
Absolutely disgusting he doesnt GAF about any of this!
Terdeau is killing our hope and dreams. I think it is time for him to go ASAP
Thank you Sir !!!!!!
And worse yet, while Canadians struggle, choose between food and other necessities, "irregular" immigrants are doing great. They get $245 per day to cover their expenses. That's about 10 times per month what a senior in Canada gets today. Seniors who've worked hard all their lives, paid their taxes, and added value to our Country have to subsist on a tenth of what irregular immigrants get per month. On top of that payment they get healthcare, medications, even diapers for free.
There's something wrong with a system that gives more to irregular immigrants than to seniors who've paid taxes to support Canada for all of their lives.
That's due to the absolute belief in WEF, WHO, UN, ETC.
Destroy Canada; the citizens will then appreciate having nothing and be thankful that the elitists will make us happy!
I do not want to be dependent upon the Goverment... that, is not their job!
This is a true and accurate statement. I work in retail and they ALL pay with mastercards that are reloaded every month by the govt. I am facing life in an rv at this point as rents have gone up 14O% in BC and so many paid immigrants have been dumped here, WITH their mastercards, that renting is unaffordable. In 2022-2023, silent money poured into bc and they had signs everywhere.. We Buy Houses For Cash….the unknown (govt) bought up apartment buildings and on and on. Covid financially strapped ppl or broke ppl and they sold… the govt bought up all the housing. Now you tell me… RICO laws applicable?
Oh my, a voice of humanity, reason and respectful truth... the " old, original" Canadian mentality " - God Bless you Senator...this beautiful country is hurting, hopefully more of your character will take the reigns.
Canada is under attack and only very few care. Our government definitely doesn't. Thank you senator for standing for truth. I fear it will get worse instead of better.
Going according to plan. Sad that most Canadians are oblivious to the agenda.
This speech gave so many people hope. To finally hear as much of truth as you can say. Trudeau sold our country out, you are a hero and I will never forget you or this speech.
This needs to be heard by all Canadians. Witness what happens when imposing woke socialism on what was once one of the best countries in the world. How anyone can support the liberal-NDP government is mind boggling.
You are so right. Truly sad that anyone would vote for such a toxic individual.
@@Powerstroke98 We all make mistakes. One that I'll never make again.
Thankyou SIR
This man is such an eloquent speaker. It is a pleasure to hear such TRUTH. NO INSULTS AND SPEAKS TRUTH TO POWER. IF JUSTIN WOULD LISTEN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE THAT HIS GOVERNMENT HAS DONE!!!! CHRISTINA FREELAND, YOU TO SHOULD HEAR WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!
They know fully what is said because they are doing this intentionally in order to force the global socialist outcome they desire.
They don't intend to repair. Their course is already set towards deconstruction.
Truedue and Freeland along with Jagmeet Singh need jail time for treason
Can't hear with deaf ears. Can't see with blinders on. Can't relate sitting alone.
Thank you for your well thought out speech . I hope every Canadian will see your speech and be as inlightened as I have felt . Keep what you are doing . This liberal agenda is killing Canada . Your Conservative Party is on the right way to making our country great again how it was when conservatives were in power .
Thank you Mr . Platt .
Yours truly a very proud Canadian !!
Thank you. While I have to admit that I am getting on in years myself, I cannot ever remember a Senator in my country speak this way. You have my respect for speaking up for the people of our country. Canada has been my family's home for generations and I do not recognize it under what this government has done to us. They claim to be building homes . They are wrong and Stats Canada will catch up with the numbers. Tradesmen are being laid off all across this country at a pace I did not see in the 1980's. This country is economically shutting down. Thank you Justin. You should be ashamed and embarrassed.
Thank you Senator Plett.
It is a pleasure to call you Senator, Hon. Donald Neil Plett, Sir. Thank you.
Senator, you nailed it. Now, it is time to have a canada wide Election this year, canada needs to be saved, Now 🇨🇦, we love ❤️ our country wish needs saving now.
Get trudeau out of Canada
Put him in prison where he belongs an strip him of all he has shut down there foundation an tear down everything with Trudeau name this is not worthy of been in our history nor should he be remembered for anything his name an Freeland a must not be remember they should not even be a thought for crimes he committed but to rot in a prison never to be seen or heard from again
Send him to Gaza!
gitmo...orange will look great on him
No we must bring every healthcare worker that lost their jobs so callously in 2021 back onto the job if they wish to be there only then should we be allowing foreign workers to fill those spots
@@gabrielehalley8533 Well, your mom wears the color well so....
Shameful to those whom are not in their seats listening to this information
We have a governor general she does have the power to remove Justin Trudeau if he's not acting in the best interest of Canadians that is her duty to do so
The Liberal/NDP policy is that it is always someone else’s fault. Karma, Justin. It’s real.
✝️🌹 The Honorable Mr. Plett, you are a Saint. I studied Catholic history and those who did the work you are doing now , are called Saints. 🌹✝️Mr. Plett, God's hands protect and help you. Amen.
This trudeau regime can't keep ip this crap bad things are goingvto happen I hope soon
So, what can be done about the criminal prime Minister UnjustinTerdeau ???????????????????
Why are we the people upholding our end of the Social Contract?
Trudeau must go !
Why is it OK that our finance minister works for the WEF ?
When are the going to jail and for how long..... It better be a long time.
they do not care
Please address the mass immigration! That is a majore problem with housing and affordability! You ALL seem to be avoiding the elephant in the room!!!
October 2025 is too far away. Many of us can’t hang on that long.
All of those words that senator is saying are a treasure for our legacy. They need to know what happened because this will have been our war for liberty. A war without tanks, bombs, soldiers etc, but still a war. They will need to be extra strong to hold the line and these words will be one of their main tools
Make sure you send a thank letter or Email to Senator Plett
I did
Jesus, Don, well said.. my god we are in rough shape here. Thank you for putting this in such an elegant and understandable light
I truly hope that these Liberal Senators and other hopelessly inadequate Liberal governing people get to know some of the suffering they have caused all Canadians. Only when it comes to the doors of these heartless, and very stupid or possibly sinister LiberalNDP
elected servants will they feel what they have done to our once
beautiful country and Canadians. Many of us will never forgive nor forget what you have done and
I hope you do not sleep well
under the responsibility of your actions as many of the Homeless you have created with your policies will not.
THIS IS NOT A GAME!
And the crazy thing is, we the people are paying you so you can afford 3 meals a day.
EXCELLENT....BRILLIANT...TRUE SPEECH. Thank you Sir. Thank you.
Now, if only something can be done about it. Oh dear Lord God, please help - deliver us! 🇨🇦
What about the old people that all their life and don't get what they pay for all their for nothing
God bless you Senator Platt. You sir will be greatly missed. I wish you didn't have to retire.
Canadians we must demand answers regarding Ukraine why were billions of our tax dollars that are supposed to fund our pensions we're sent to Ukraine do not forget the war of Ukraine never that situation is over there start it in 2014 did not start in 2022 please Canada demand answers now
I will be sorry when this brilliant man retires. He is absolutely right with everything he says.
WHO WILL HIRE ME, AS I HAVE TWO DISABLED PEOPLE TO CARE FOR? MY TIME IS LIMITED.
Excellent Senator. If all goes well in the next few days I will begin the process to improve the quality of life for many
He should be in jail for what he done to Canada 🇨🇦 😢
Freeland bears a lot of the responsibility also.. throw her behind the bars too.
So when do you get out?@Polski_Kabaret
Freehand doesn't look like she has missed a meal. Yet we pay 6k a month for her upkeep😮
This bloated government needs to be dissolved and reestablished with these liberals going to jail and having their assets seized.
Bravo Senator Plett !!!
My memory fades but 1982 if i remember right.
Our dollar was about 25% stronger then the American dollar. The other tudope took car of that
I THOUGHT WE COULD NEVER GET A WORSE PM THAN PIERRE TRUDEAU, UNTILL NOW.
PEOPLE YOU NEED TO KNOW!
GREAT MEN, do not seek power.
YOU MUST THRUST POWER, onto great men.
THIS IS OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM and always has been!
Senator plett you are in my books a good man and I'm for the conservatives and I've told most of POLIEVES people that are behind him and work for him I've given them and call them all CHAMPION of CHAMPIONS and I've put you in the list too cause your such a strong speaker and you make so much sense to me so I just wanted to thank you good sir I've been watching and listening to you every chance I can get cause there's a lot of you that I've been listening to so keep up the super great work that your doing I'll tell you this I not gonna ever stop listening to you I like the people like you like polieve and the rest of the good people cause you all have the same things in common and that is ALL YOU CONSERVATIVES make COMMON sense in such a awful situation the way the libs have done and caused every single Canadian people and the country never has a human being in such a supposed great country had to ever live like this or become to this state or level of living in this country and a lot of people consider it almost being close to living life under a Dictators and also class themselves as a PM ( JT) that's who I'm referring to and his way of treating us cause this is why we've all turned to against him and turned too the conservatives because there's no way we can continue living with him as a government person as a PM he's become absolutely so ridiculous and that's why we've turned our backs on him and now vote for the conservatives like me I'm a conservative believer and I only want what is just and truthful and safety is a big one for me and the Canadian people !!!! JT has done so much wrong with rules and regulations and done such a shotty job at looking after people that are being done wrongly by him and his party!!!!! I'm just wondering if you have heard of a news program that most Canadian people listen to because JT has lessoned our way and what we are allowed to listen to but they are called NORTHERN PERSPECTIVE and they are a super great news couple to listen too you should check them out you'd love them POLIEVES people just love them we love them they definitely need more listeners and i think you'd get a big kick out of this program tfhey are a husband and wife team and they are just a very smart couple program so mabey have a look and give them a chance as a listener i wouldn't steer you into something that I wouldn't listen to but I thought I'd bring it to your attention!???!!!! But I do love what you stand for so I'm with you there as a conservative person and again I thank you for doing and saying what's happening and going on with those liberals cause they are just absolutely just despicable in the things they say and do and don't do and refuse to do but I thought you should know from me that you in my books are a total champion of champions and a lovely human being you are definitely a REAL FEELING human and not afraid to show the true real YOU!!!! And I 💯 respect you for everything you are and have been doing!!!! So I give you a pat on your shoulder and a comment of the truth and how much I appreciate you so again THANKYOU Mr plett a champion of champions 🏆🍁🇨🇦🍁💔✝️🛐🙏🌹
🕊️👍💝
PS and you make me laugh too!!!
Sad when the majority of Canadians have not heard what you are saying. Too bad media is biased about their country so the people do not get the truth.😢😢😢
utmost respect to you Mr. Plett. Sir, I couldn't have said it better myself. Keep at it.
Awesome! A true Canadian, representing all Canadians!!!!!!!
Thanks Mr Plett
