Trudeau’s taxpayer-funded nannies speak to broken promises

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just broke one of his election promises

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just broke one of his election promises.

He hired two nannies to care for his three children, all at taxpayers’ expense. Throughout the election campaign Mr. Trudeau called for a reduction and exclusion of the Universal Child Care Benefit – including his own, for the wealthiest Canadian families.

That his nannies are paid for by taxpayers, the amount is not the issue, the fact that Trudeau does not apply the same policy to his own family smacks of hypocrisy. How many other promises will the prime minister not keep?
