There you go. The reporter asked him how committed he was to balancing the budget. Not how he was going to balance the budget. 2 very different questions. So he answered that his commitment is to the people first. And he is right. The economy is the people. Not numbers. The numbers are a result of people producing things. This is also why with an increase in population the GDP goes up.The reporter asked him how committed he was to balancing the budget and as usual, he started speaking and not making sense because he has no idea what he's talking about if someone else doesn't provide him a script.
Remember "the economy is people, not numbers" ...that's what happens when he starts talking about things he doesn't understand because he knows people like you will just blindly listen to what he's saying and "feel good" about it.
You asked me how Poilievre was going to make Canada better and I answered you with the info available ie get rid of the carbon tax, reduce inflationary spending, etc...but you wanted to see specific policies which I told you have not been released this far from the election but you continued to scrutinize him based on that.
yet with Trudeau you just give him a pass when he speaks nonsense.
THAT is the level of your hypocrisy.
So in sum, he answered the question he was asked. He was not asked how he was going to accomplish this and had he been asked and had he launched into a PP style diatribe, then you'd have a point. In this case you are simply cherry picking and mischaracterizing his response.
