b. Supply challenges that largely reflect developments at the global level account for another 35% of the rise in inflation. Math...yes. Another 35% attributed to global developments (ie not under Trudeau's control). That leaves hmmm...100-50-35= 15%, and even that couldn't be 100% attributed to him. The moment you start trying to bring numbers into the debate is the moment you start embarrassing yourself. You're just too belligerent and too stupid to back down after doing so.

No muppet, they definitely don't. ? The report was dated December 5, 2022. It doesn't take six months to get econ data. You can squirm and bullshit all you want, but this is just more of your clueless partisan natter a. Around 50% of the increase in inflation observed since the end of 2019 can be ascribed to global or foreign factors. These include US inflation, commodity prices and movements in the exchange rate. b. Supply challenges that largely reflect developments at the global level account for another 35% of the rise in inflation. https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/about/economics/economics-publications/post.other-publications.inflation-reports.causes-of-inflation--december-5--2022.html Dig your heels in harder, muppet. Show us more of your belligerent foolishness.

I would say that the "actual people" and their priorities vary greatly by region. It's the whole point of federalism.

How else did Lund end up being the most dangerous city in the world according to Numbeo, above places like Caracas? If the methodology is fatally flawed to begin with, the data it provides is worthless. You're quoting an online review aggregator where anyone can review anything (North Koreans can rate Canada is unsafe, if they feel like it). The site puts Serbia, Bosnia, Turkey and Jordan higher on the safety index than Canada. If these don't raise red flags for you, nothing will, but nobody would be surprised this got past you. ?

If the source is worthless, then it's not actually a fact. ? A crowd-sourced database than can be grossly manipulated by a single person is a garbage source of information. One guy was able to spam the site and make his city the most dangerous in the world, according to your source. I do believe Justin Trudeau has hurt our quality of life and standard of living, and set us back ~10 years just like his father. Numbeo just can't tell us anything useful about it.

? I'll take the numbers over your conspiracy theories.

They dropped it because the gold supply can't hope to keep up with economic growth, which makes it a poor currency. You'd end up with permanent disinflation.

You're using a poor source. Getting your stats from Numbeo is like getting your news from a combination of wikipedia and rotten tomatoes. https://www.thelocal.se/20170117/how-one-swede-made-a-city-the-worlds-most-dangerous-to-expose-fake-stats#:~:text=“Numbeo should hardly be considered,a day%2C” Trulsson warned. “Numbeo should hardly be considered stats, it’s more like reviews. Anyone, anywhere in the world can change the data, as many times as they want. Completely anonymously. I managed to make Lund the world’s ‘most dangerous city’ in less than a day,” Trulsson warned.

It's not nearly as interesting/significant as you make it out to be, scraping your twitter for doom-porn to convince yourself everything is going to blow up. ? The world (not just the US) dropped the gold standard 50+ years ago for one very simple reason, and that reason hasn't gone away.

National post and opinion inform you of the bias, and that's it. Yours is on display here too. The reality is that the mass graves have been debunked and it's too embarrassing to talk about it for the people who were apologizing for it.

We use our macroeconometric forecasting model to identify the causes of the rise in inflation since the end of 2019 and the required monetary response. A number of key observations flow from our work: a. Around 50% of the increase in inflation observed since the end of 2019 can be ascribed to global or foreign factors. These include US inflation, commodity prices and movements in the exchange rate. b. Supply challenges that largely reflect developments at the global level account for another 35% of the rise in inflation. https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/about/economics/economics-publications/post.other-publications.inflation-reports.causes-of-inflation--december-5--2022.html Unfortunately for you, the economists who actually know anything about inflation tell a very different story than your clueless bullshitting. ?

Wasting your breath with an irrelevant distinction. Global/external factors don't have to be "caused" by other countries to exist. Dumb dumb dumb again.

The same reason most countries hold gold: Emergency, diversification etc. They've been doing it longer than you and I have been alive. It's better than no embassy, but I don't think it changes much.

Part of the problem is also that it’s been very lucrative to own housing for investment. I have clients who are worth millions in liquid assets now but never had more than $100k of income between the two of them on account of how much easy money they made in the last decade in real estate. He’s an electrician and she was a laundry worker. Booming real estate helped homeowners and they were a big demographic. Now that Gen Z and the millennials are a bigger part of the electorate and can’t afford housing, it’s suddenly a priority for Trudeau. I strangely agree with Zeitgeist on this one. It’s almost criminal how badly our governments have handled housing.

Surely? They had an embassy there seven years ago and they were enemies then too.

You spam 40+ posts a day. Nobody is following you. You're impossible to avoid, stinking the place up with your clueless and belligerent spam. The only thing that's more impressive than your ability to start and subsequently derail your own threads daily is your apparent lack of anything better to do with your time. This forum has never seen a bigger no-life than you, and that's no even hyperbole. ?

No fascists yet, but very friendly to communist and Islamic dictatorships. They're going to love having Mao 2.0 running their bloc too. Start the countdown now for how long it takes before India about-faces.

Phoning it in is all the attention you merit, muppet, and even then it's often good enough to get multi-paragraph, sometimes page-long responses. ?

Literally nobody on his forum does that more automatically than you. Yet you're the one performing for everyone. ?

Working on their relationship is nice, but whether there's any material changes remains to be seen. The Chinese and the Americans have been working on their relationship lately too.

Did you know that the United States holds the largest stockpile of gold reserves in the world, and more than the next 3 closest nations combined, none of which were part of the BRICS group? ?

Your precise words were, "Hitler was a left of centre socialist". That's not a lie, but I realize you can't help but project. Whenever you get caught saying something retarded, the other person is LYING. Whenever you go off on one of your angry muppet rants, it's the other person worried about their ego. ? You mean other than it was an opinion piece written by the comments section editor (a glorified forum moderator) for a dying newspaper that few take seriously?

This muppet is a treasure trove of clueless bullshit and easily-quoted faceplants. "Hitler was a left-of-centre socialist". My God. ?

This sort of lashing out is like a window into your soul. ?

Because a collection of Islamic fundamentalist, communist, and kleptocratic dictatorships are totally going to cooperate smoothly with each other and suck demand out for the USD. India and China? Not friends. Iran and Saudi Arabia? Straight-up enemies. It's going to work out great.
