Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has reiterated that he will be focusing on nothing other than tax cuts and anti-terror laws as Parliament opens today. He stressed that the government is all set to present a balanced budget despite the tragically lowering oil prices as they produced reduce “flexibility” in the short term.
During speech in Ottawa yesterday, Harper stated that the proposed legislations are aimed to restrict the movement of suspected terrorists who are found to be usually traveling abroad at a time when “jihadism” is a direct threat to Canada. Harper is struggling to become the first federal party leader in Canada to have won four straight elections in more than a century of the country’s history. However, this time Mr. Harper’s rivals include one of his toughest challengers, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, who has even led Harper in some recent polls.
In his remarks, Mr. Harper refuted Trudeau’s claim that the middle-class voters are struggling even in Canada, i.e. the first Group of Seven economy to emerge from the 2008 financial crisis. Mr. Harper stated that “we are focused on the issues that matter to them,” adding that “economic and financial security, creating and protecting jobs, lower taxes for families, and keeping Canada and Canadians safe in a dangerous and uncertain world.”
