The Liberals Finally Show Up to Work in 2025 -- Canadians Demand Action, Not More Empty Promises
OTTAWA – The National Citizens Coalition (NCC) today calls out the Liberal government for their belated return to the House of Commons in 2025, after months of dodging accountability while Canadians grapple with skyrocketing costs, unaffordable housing, crime and chaos, and the fallout of a decade of failed Liberal policies.
While the Liberals dust off their seats, millions of Canadians have been struggling to pay for groceries, keep a roof over their heads, or envision a future where hard work still pays off. The NCC demands the government stop hiding behind empty rhetoric and deliver meaningful, common-sense actions to address the crises they’ve exacerbated.
“After years of empty gestures, empty rhetoric, and empty promises, showing up to Parliament in 2025 isn’t an achievement – it’s the bare minimum. Canadians are drowning in high taxes, inflation, and a housing crisis, and they deserve real solutions, not more speeches," says NCC Director Alexander Brown.
The NCC calls on the Liberal government to immediately prioritize:
Immediate tax relief to put money back in the pockets of hardworking Canadians, including axing the HIDDEN CARBON TAX on our Great Canadian businesses.
Concrete steps to slash immigration back to responsible, sustainable norms; including a crackdown on fraudulent 'diploma mills,' and the abolition of the 'Temporary Foreign Worker' program, to protect Canadian jobs, and the jobs of our youth.
Meaningful, immediate efforts to increase housing supply, by slashing red tape and bureaucratic roadblocks that drive up development costs.
An end to wasteful spending on pet projects and corporate handouts that do nothing for struggling families.
Steps toward meaningful criminal justice reform; including an end to Liberal catch-and-release bail for repeat violent offenders.
A plan to restore economic opportunity, so young Canadians can afford homes and build a future without fleeing the country.
And it's time to Kill Bill C-69 -- and Build Pipelines.
Working Canadians have heard enough platitudes – it’s time for results. The government must act decisively to fix the mess they’ve created or step aside for those who will. With just a few short weeks before the Liberals abscond for another vacation, IMMEDIATE ACTION is required to match the urgency of the moment, and to atone for the insult of the Liberals' cynical, dishonest, "elbows up" campaign that left millions of young, working-age Canadians without hope for the future.
