Sounds smelly to me. The plant is only supposed to be 2500 jobs, and it needs 1300 foreign temp workers to train them all? I don't buy it.

It usually depends on the size and the scale. If a company is already already close to making a big investment and just needs a little help to get there, that's one thing, but when they're asking the government to drop its pants and bend over to even be in consideration, that's when the gov't should pass. It's gross, but that's how our governments end up doing things. It was never really about doing something that would be good for Canada long-term. It was about having something big and public that you could pretend was a win for the voters - vague and lofty promises about Canada becoming a huge battery hub etc. That'd be great, of course, but if the whole reason we're getting these "investments" is because we as taxpayers are paying for it in subsidies, and we're not even getting the jobs that it was presumably supposed to create, then we got fleeced...again.

Well at least you acknowledge that you're a zombie that doesn't think for himself, and just parrot whatever orange man says. Dance monkey. Dance. ?

Why are you following me, muppet? I can go for days without posting here, but sure as rain, you'll always be there to respond when I do. ?

This is actually something people should be talking about. Forget, for a second, that these massively subsidized corpo investments almost always fail to generate the returns the government hopes for/expects, now they're importing foreign workers to fill basic jobs in a depressed community? This is government incompetence on a colossal scale.

Hahaahahaha yeah that's all that he needs to do. He just waves his hands and the housing crisis that built up over the last 15 years just goes away. ?

MSM FAKE NEWS MSM FAKE NEWS EVERYTHING IS MSM FAKE NEWS ?. When you breathe in as much copium as you do, reality can be whatever makes you feel the comfiest.

If we had a dollar for every time you've invoked "MSM fake news" as the basis for your arguments and viewpoints, we'd all be able to afford new cars. Sadly, the only thing it does is help you cope with reality.

Everything you posted here was "simple". Sadly, the volume of words you pound out on your keyboard doesn't substitute for actually knowing what you're talking about. Removing GST has an immediate and clear effect on prices - period. A $22.60 purchase, without 13% GST, would now be a $20 purchase. It really is that simple. It would immediately increase purchasing on various items, because it would immediately reduce their prices. A sales tax is also fully 100% paid by the end-consumer, so it has little/nothing to do with a business' ability to actually produce what it's selling. Thanks for providing new and novel ways of demonstrating your compulsion for nattering confidently about things you don't understand. ??

I feel bad for the servile peasants conscripted into the Russian army, sent to uselessly die in storm assaults for nothing but Vladimir Putin's hubris and vanity.

Ukraine was goaded into taking on Ukraine...by getting invaded? ? When Putin was last offering peace, his troops were fleeing Kiev oblast after one of the most pathetic military operations of the last 40 years.

I'm not sure if you're just paraphrasing Das Kapital or what point you think you're making here, but it's pretty out of place for his topic. You're not exactly a scholar on this though, are you? Whether or no you've heard about it is kind of irrelevant. A GST cut would have both deflationary and inflationary impacts. It would immediately lower prices, but i would also drive extra consumption. If it weren't matched with government spending cuts, it would also grow the deficit, and over the long term it could drive disproportionate long-term inflation. None of these topics are ever as simple as people make them out to be, and even I've simplified here. TLDR is tax cuts can absolutely drive up inflation, but depending on other market forces at play they may be good or bad policy. Right now, our problem is spending. Spending needs to go down, enormously.

If that were true, then housing prices would have only gone up proportionally with migrant numbers. Since that's not even remotely the case, then what you're saying isn't remotely true. Immigration is helping to drive up housing inflation, but it's certainly not the only reason there are not enough homes, lol.

They're the same thing, muppet. ?

I agree. These are just the noises the dumb apes were making to each other, and that's what PP repeated back to them.

Right here, muppet: You can't even go a handful of posts without screwing yourself up. Bravo, once again. ?

He's not contesting the rate decision date, dumb-dumb. He's arguing that your prediction of rate hikes aren't based on actual knowledge or understanding. As usual, you're arguing with yourself.

When you're tossing up beauty quotes like these, nobody's best is required. The only person you're making look like a loser is yourself. The idea that anyone gives an angry buffoon like you a moment's thought in their day-to-day is sad comedy, but I guess when your day-to-day is nothing but battling it out on internet forums, that might not seem so insane. You've actually suggested the current BoC governor and federal government may be purposely screwing things up and making themselves look bad, so that the next guys look...also bad...or something. Too funny. ?

That's a 10-IQ take if I ever saw one. ?

Which part was wrong? That's what your 10-IQ takes keep stumbling over. Reality does not match your spoon-fed narrative, straight from Tucker Carlson's butthole.

They punted Russia's donkey soldiers out of Kiev, Kharkiv and Kherson, and (at least) forced a stalement against what was supposed to be the world's second most powerful military, which is now revealed dysfunctional circus using garbage equipment. Russia couldn't have been much more humiliated than it is, and Putin's revision of objectives after the fact is only convincing the smooth-brains of "victory". That's you by the way. ?

I notice how you ping me then proceed to talk about how I'm the one following you. That's some special school reasoning there bud. ?

It's wasn't random. You were (yet again) demonstrating your unique talent for belligerent stupidity: Which is retarded, and when it was pointed out, you responded with: When you just demonstrated you didn't. Way to go! ??

Then why did you say this? Fixed this for you:

90% of my time here is less than 1% of yours. Do you know how stupid you look saying this when you've blown past my 15 year post tally in 8 months? Of course you don't. ???
