Yes and if the reporter wanted to know how Trudeau was going to balance the budget, then he should have asked that question, like I asked you how Pee Pee was going to make Canada better - to which neither you, nor Pee Pee seem to have an answer. The reporter in this case did not. So Trudeau was not required to answer a question that was not asked of him.
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.
