His name is Justin. Justin Trudeau. You may have heard of him.
He was busy thanking Amazon at the ground-breaking for the new Fulfillment Centre in Ottawa last week.
Apparently the millionaire pol believes Canadians are on the front lines of the global economy because we are "diverse and innovative."
Well, diversity is our strength, as we all know, so bring on those $14/hour jobs! Just imagine; on that income you should be able to qualify for a mortgage in the $150,000 range... too bad the average Ottawa house goes for $450,000. You'll just have to save up a really big down payment!
Patronizing twaddle about diversity aside, the fact that so many members of our political class seem to think thirty thou a year is a solid middle-class income tells me they are seriously out of touch with the lived reality of most Canadians.
