“To balance or to pay for these types of additional spending there would need to be severe cuts to the public service, significant cuts,” Giroux said.

This is a lie.

It's worse than a lie really. Behind this claim are two decisions that the Liberals have made in advance so that they can present this with the frame that cuts are "necessary":

1. The spending is required, despite not having it in the budget.
2. The budget may not be increased through taxing the rich.

In other words, Carney wants a pony and rather than make his rich friends pay for it, he's going to screw everyone else.

So yeah, conservatives.
