THREAD OF PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Please share this thread widely to show as many people as possible the awesome things this Prime Minister and his government have done for Canadians.

Most successful progressive leader in the world.

1. NATIONAL CHILDCARE PROGRAM 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This is one of my personal favourites. In my eyes, it really cements PMJT as a feminist leader who boosted the economy with a transformational program.

$10/day childcare has lowered childcare costs for Canadian families by thousands of dollars.

Such a great economic investment as well:

1. Helps women return to the workforce after thousands of women stayed at home to take care of their kids during lockdowns

2. For every dollar invested into the program, up to $6 is generated in economic return

And he implemented it in all provinces and territories in just under a year - even when 6 of the premiers in those provinces are usually staunchly opposed to the introduction of any kind of social program.

That’s leadership. That’s political skill.

2. CANADA CHILD BENEFIT 👶🏻👧

Under the Harper government, there were three separate programs to help families with the costs of raising kids under 18.

The Trudeau government harmonized these programs into one and made it better: it’s called the Canada Child Benefit (CCB).

The CCB introduced by the Trudeau government has reduced the number of children in poverty by nearly 75% since the beginning of Trudeau’s time in office.

SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT.
