It absolutely does. There is tonnes of data to suggest that putting billions or trillions of dollars into the economy will cause it to increase and prices will go up. There is tonnes of evidence that gov't policy can affect supply. You clearly know i'm right - you have to change my argument because you know you were wrong. Now you insist i claimed the president has "100 percent control" over it. Which of course i said no such thing at all. And of course it went up during trump's time and then it went back down again. This was explained to you. You get like this every time an idea you like gets challenged - you completely start to ignore the facts and evidence and demand that black is white and get yourself killed at the next zebra crossing,

Yes - all thanks to your failed woke policies. And coming soon - climate change apathy, intolerance of immigrants, and homeless cities. well done Yeah. Imagine being upset that you've caused permanent harm to the poor, wiped out the middle class, reduced the quality of life of an entire generation, trashed the environment and made canada a laughing stock. Pffft - what a nothing burger. when conservaties win - everyone wins. When you guys win - everyone suffers. Except the rich who can move their assets. Like trudeau.

then you are choosing to be willfully ignorant. I really can't help with that And if you didn't think the presidents actions directly impact supply and demand then you have much education in front of you. Can't think of an instance? Do you think the war the president is supporting financially and the sactions on russia have impacted world gas prices? Hmmm? do you think the money being out into the economy has an impact? Etc etc, Sorry but this is obvious to just about everyone. Presidential policy has a massive impact on gas prices both short term and long term.

That would still be a change in opinoin This has been explained to you. We didn't "win". We lost - and you got your chances to do things your way. It failed. You failed. Wokeism has failed. And now people see that your ideas lead to poverty and sickness. So they're joining our side in buckets. We didn't win - you just failed and failed hard. There's a difference

Well take your flinstones vitamins and drink your milk. It's a long shot but maybe it'll help.

It didn't really. It spiked for a short time and went down, which coincides with his own version of economic stimulus, which was the tax breaks. As i said - sometimes the presidents other policies lead to price increases. Sometimes for sure - bomb the middle east and tell me if it has an effect Fuel prices are driven by how much demand there is vs how much supply there is. The president can have a VERY strong impact on both. Other things can too, but there's no doubt that presidential policy has a very large impact both directly in the form of his impact on fuel and oil production as well as indirectly in the form of economic and fiscal policy. Oh you mean like a blog? Like you did? Yeash. Sure - here you go. https://www.econlib.org/can-the-u-s-president-affect-world-oil-prices/ Do you really need some sort of proof that the gov't can impact fuel supplies or demand? If you really really need that i'll go get some crayons and explain it. But please - lets not get into sealioning

oh HELL yea. Their foreign policy - their support of or repression of the oil industry. their fiscal policy and it's effect on inflation . etc etc Presidents have a HUGE control over gas prices. Sometimes in order to pursue an agenda they have to let it go up and sometimes other forces come into play but they definitely do affect gas prices. Biden's very very first action in office was to cancel an oil pipeline with canada that would have helped keep gas prices lower. So there you go .

well then you'll have to prove that if you're going to claim that. Most of the time if people think something is a good idea they do it. Especaily if it's free and available. They did it before after all. Sorry kiddo - people have changed their attitudes on the vaccine. It used to be a must have - now it's a 'dont' want'. It's because they don't think exercise is as important as they used to, their life has changed and it's not worth it. Their attitude towards exercise has changed. Their opinion of it's value has changed. Now people don't think the vaccine is worth it But they used to. So their attitude has changed. Their opinion of it's value has changed. Swing and a miss kiddo.

Nonsense. I make no claims about being unusually smart at all. Just smarter than you. And that's not saying much It's pretty simple for those of us with a brain Lets face it. That's what both of you find frustrating about me. IT's not that what i say is unusually genius - usually it's just simple statements of verifiable facts. What p*sses you off is i'm smart enough to call you on your bullshit. In short - if you weren't so stupid I wouldn't seem so smart

Sure you can - you can simply say "this is my position on it" and that's the end of it. Unfortunately you DID say what you said and you don't want to contradict it because that IS how you feel. At any moment you could have taken me up on the offer to clarify and said "here's my position so there's no confusion" but your position is the same as i quoted you saying so you don't want to. Gotcha kiddo Now - How about that 'Exaggeration" you talked about? Or are you going to pretend now that you didn't say that as well? LOLOL

Precisely. And now that more data is available the choice is 'no'.

I suppose that could be the case. I personally believe it has more to do with the employment of the population and the provision of services. In a larger metro area more services have to be provided by the gov't and people do less themselves. In addition there are more people employed in trades more likely to be pro liberal or pro union in their outlook. there's a larger number of teachers in the city, the unions all have their head offices there, etc etc. So there's more likelyhood of those groups agressively spreading a pro liberal message than you'd find in a more rurral setting And while i agree with the neighbour thing 100 percent it's ALSO true that your neighbour's behavior is more likely to affect you. So people tend to become much more accepting of laws and such that dictate other people's behavior. Whatever the reason - it can be seen often enough and consistent enough that we can say SOMETHING causes it.

Inflation is up, gov't spending is up and interest rates remain high. The economy is enjoying a bounce from gov't spending but the average person isn't because of inflation and interest pressures. Economies are 'doing well' when the growth is driven from the market naturally and inflation is low. when you artificially stimulate an economy then inflation goes up, and you're setting up for an inevitable and eventual crash. It also tends to erode productivity in the long run.

I don't believe you. BWAAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHA!!!!!! LOL - somebody stop me!!! (snort!)

Well i have to admit a while back i left the very heavily populated 'big city' in favour of a more rural 'small town' environment that was close by. there's a lot of appeal to it. ANd yes as any area grows you tend to get more liberal politics. Which is why we've all trained our dogs to bite realtors on sight

Well truth be told most people just assume politicians make up stupid lies. What he'll be judged on is his performance. Whcih makes the aforementioned bullshit story seem pretty good by comparison

Previous studies have strongly shown that the idea that all immigrants vote liberal is not accurate, but honestly it seems to be getting worse for the libs and more immigrants might well be voting CPC not liberal when they finally win the right to vote. If justin thoght insanely high levels of immigration would somehow help his election chances.... nope

https://archive.ph/SYRGM Among people who immigrated to Canada in the last decade, more think Canada’s latest immigration targets will bring in too many people, a newly released Leger poll suggests The poll also suggests strongest support for federal Conservatives among Canadian immigrants — most notably among Chinese immigrants, whose support for the Tories outpaced the Liberals nearly three-to-one. https://leger360.com/political-alignment-of-newcomers-to-canada/ Click chart for larger image.

Honestly - he knows. The mental gymnastics he and others are doing to dodge the simple facts is olympic, but at the end of the day they know they're wrong. People were forced by threat to take a drug without knowing what the side effects were and without significant proof that it would safeguard anyone else's life. And some died from that.

You proved i didn't make it up when you couldn't refute it. You went on for pages refusing to clarify what you actually said You did say it and you spent pages refusing to refute it or clarify it. I get it - i'd be ashamed to admit it too if i said half the stuff you do And once again your stupidity is somehow my fault in your mind But the real interesting thing here is you can't post a single example of the effect of carbon taxes being exaggerated at all. So at the end of the day - despite your hissy fits, despite your lies, despite your desperate and sad attempt to change the channel... ... the carbon tax drives up inflation, makes everything more expensive and you can't come up with a single example of PP or the right exaggerating how bad it is. It has to go - it's another one of your failed leftie social experiments.

Sorry kiddo - but that's your claim. You claim the fact that people refuse to get vaccinated now is somehow evidence that they still like the vaccines as much as they did when 80 percent of them wanted it It was a pathetic attempt on your part. Clearly people's thoughts on taking the vaccine have changed. You were wrong.

Well - that was a pretty serious failure to launch. Justin spent a tonne of money, a tonne of effort hyping it, and pinned his hopes on getting a serious bounce back in the polls on this. It's obvious he was prepping for an election, he obviously was hoping the budget would help bump him up and then maybe he could roll the dice at the polls But it would appear that it's going to have the opposite effect. I would imagine the ndp is going to be watching the reaction from this pretty closely. At some point they HAVE to break from trudeau - there's worse things than a budget that 'doesn't go far enough' for a lot of the nitersectional groups that might vote for them.

https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/trudeau-government-gets-an-angry-reception-as-it-promotes-federal-budget/article_0fe63b9a-fcec-11ee-b47c-ef21bc539490.html Pushback was fast and furious the day after the Liberals unveiled $39.3 billion in net new spending along with a new tax increase that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said is targeted at the “ultra-rich” but medical professionals and others say will hit them hard. Indigenous leaders, disability groups, doctors, real estate investors, business groups, opposition Conservatives and other political rivals of the Trudeau government blasted measures that either didn’t go far enough for some, or for others were bitter reminders of 2017 when Ottawa tried to tax investment income of small corporations only to climb down in the face of a fierce backlash. What it all means is that despite prebudget fanfare about how Liberals will “solve” the housing crisis, expand child-care spaces, and help schools feed hungry children, the Trudeau government has a massive selling job on its hands. Also noted in the story - doctors are actively looking at leaving due to the new taxes on them, the business community hates it, The first nations and poverty groups really hate it, and Polievre noted that the mega rich and trust fund babies like trudeau will simply hide their money or move it out of country and it will wind up being the middle class who pays the price.

What's this? Joe's a lying sack who makes up family history in a sad attempt to try to make himself relatable to others politically? Say it ain't so!!!! Might as well announce the sun came up in the east this morning.

ROFLMAO - what kind of dolt complains about low levels of comment with a low level comment like that
