Federal Liberal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canadians have too much money in their bank accounts..Now she’s trying to figure out a way to get it out, prompting Tory finance critic Pierre Pierre Poilievre to warn Canadians to “lock up their money.”.“Folks, lock away your money. Liberals are worried you’re saving too much. They want “ideas on how the government can act to unlock” those savings. No, Trudeau, people’s savings don’t belong to you. Keep your hands where we can see them,” Poilievre tweeted.. POLL: Many Albertans say they will ignore Christmas COVID lockdown .Freeland was doing a video interview with Bloomberg when she noted some Canadians had managed to save a tidy sum of cash during the COVID-19 pandemic because there has been nothing to do and international travel is difficult..She noted a “pre-loaded stimulus” idea could work saying “some Canadian households, and it tends to be the better off households, do have quite a lot of money that they’ve saved because there hasn’t been much to do in the pandemic..“Certainly it would be great if that money could go towards driving our recovery,” Freeland, adding if any viewers had ideas how to tap into the money to let her know..“Maybe it happens by itself, that’s the best case scenario for me, but if people have ideas how we can really try to unleash that and particularly unleash it in parts of the economy that really need support, tourism, hospitality, domestic services, let me know.”.Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com.TWITTER: Twitter.com/nobby7694
