“It’s going to be a tough year,” Trudeau warns of gloomy economic forecast for 2023

By Harrison Faulkner

As the Liberal government moves to increase a number of taxes in the coming year and fears of a recession continue to grow, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is warning Canadians that 2023 will be “tough.”

The cost of living grew significantly throughout the last year – impacting essential items such as food, fuel and medicine.

In a year-end interview with Global News, Trudeau was asked about the gloomy economic forecast for 2023. The PM answered, “Next year is going to be tough, too. It’s going to be a tough year.”

“The coming winter is going to be tough for people, and that’s where we need to continue to pull together.”

Trudeau pointed to “direct supports” from the government, such as the GST rebate, dental care and rental support, as ways the government is helping struggling Canadians.
