It's a 6 minute video for anyone wondering and it's a mostly bad one that lacks context and nuance.

For example the Income tax cut they start with. It was a very prominent campaign item as it was for essentially every party during the election. In fact the Liberals had one of the smaller ones and the Green party had the largest income that cut by far.

Then portraying the military spending targets as appeasing Trump. It's been thing long before Trump, it's a owed obligation as part of NATO and if it's for Trump it ain't in a good way.

And this
