That didn't prevent you people from comparing Ottawa to Tiananmen Square and Trudeau to the bloodiest dictators in history.

So? A dictator can always be compared to a dictator.

 You do more backpeddling than a unicyclist.

ROFLAMO -   i havent' backpedaled once   YOU are the one who claimed people said trudeau ran the world and then had to admit that wasn't true, THEN claimed that people said trudeau controlled the WEF and had to admit THAT wasnt' true, THEN claimed tanks were sent to the protest before having to admit that wasn't true,

Did you want me to get you a little horn to honk on that unicycle of yours? :) LOLOLOL!!!

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.  ?

The economists agree with me entirely.

In the 2021 - mid 2022 (the date fo the report) HALF of the inflation was from external sources, and HALF was from trudeau's policy dealing with issues that other countries also wrestled with . That's what "reflected' means.

So even then half of it was under trudeau's direct control.  Further - it notes htat a very substantial portion of the rise in interest rates was trudeau's fault.  Further the same bank says if the liberals had cut spending we woudln't have  this mess.  TODAY - more than half the inflation/interest issue is direclty due to bad decisions made by the pm.

 

In our macro model, a fall of Canadian government expenditures in goods and services decreases the output gap and, therefore, inflation. Consequently, the Bank of Canada would need to tighten its policy rates by less to achieve the same path of inflation if governments persistently reduce their consumption expenditures
(chart 1)

Now you know this - and you know that NOW things are even MORE trudeau's fault.

 

So why do you feel the need to lie?

Can't sarcasticly use hyperbole on people who don't understand when they're constantly using it themselves and thinking it's truth.

We're speaking of people who have imagined a way that a Minority leader in a Parliamentary democracy can be a dictator. Of working class people insisting that a Party that represents their interests even less than the Libs would be an improvement.

I'm simply pointing out that you people have been attributing these ridiculous things to Trudeau for years now.

Seriously, you deny that?

And once again you can't argue it - so you post your little 'i'm crying again' icon :)

Trudeau is more akin to a dictator than a prime minister at this point. His party is afraid to oppose him, he's put his flunkies in positions of power.  Jaggers is afraid to oppose him and does what he's told. And he suspended the rights of citizens and used his power to sieze their assets to punish them for supporting a lawful protest.

If it looks like a dictator, and quacks like a dictator ... :)

I know - i know.  You hate it when your beloved leader whom you defend constantly that you've never voted for looks bad :) LOL

Well that's never happened has it.  Post anywhere i've ever said that there's nothing that can be done.  What i said is that if the voters are willing to accept corruption (looking at you) then nothing else will matter.

And that's the truth :)   Something can be done - voters can do their jobs.  Then we can definitely do something :)

 

Shall i add this to your pile of lies along with 'trudeau sent tanks to the bouncy-castle protest and controls the WEF"?

Your sources are confusing, you have 3 sources saying carbon prices are not inflationary... and the Bank of Canada governor saying they are,  and the financial post article destroys everything the other 3 are sayin...

Some of the articles are old and outdated, for instance carbon tax is already at 14 cents, the new clean fuel tax adds another 17 cents, and the soon to be clean energy tax is yet to be posted....People are not curtailing driving, eating or getting services...in fact it has all increased. As suggested by the slight rise in our GDP figures.

Then factor in the need to make a profit and shit rises quickly...diesel fuel is now at 2.00 a liter, with gas at 1.91, here in NB, thats a 30 cents plus rise in 3 weeks ... So my question is this, how could it not be inflationary, please someone explain this to me....  if everything comes by road or plane, we can very clearly see that every product consume and every service given has gone up by atleast 30 to 40 cents...

Then some of your articles are blaming the fall of wages, i mean really, just the worker shortage has seen companies not only offering more than fair wages but benefits as well, i'd be interested to see what industry is facing wage decreases....  this year has been a record year for strikes everyone demanding wage increases, and getting them, so how it questions their conclusions.

The whole conclusion sounds a like a huge deflection, trying to make a sh*t sandwich smell good, when our taste buds are defiantly screaming taste like shit...

Perhaps it is just me, not having a clue about economics...

We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

Please explain it to the slow guy in the room, how is this nation going to be better off than any other party we have under liberals' leadership......maybe explain to us what the Liberals have really done in the last 8 years, and what would we be looking at for the next 4 years...

I personal think my sons pet fish would make a better PM, atleast they have the same goals swim round and round without getting anything really done...

Dumb dumb dumb.  

Just a comment, who would we blame for all our emergency supply being outdated thrown out but never replaced, plus what about our critical medication manufacture ability...not to mention our very limited ability to produce vaccines...nobody was expecting the covid crises i get that but it is the government responsibility to atleast be some what prepare...shit we even have a minister for it, I'm sure there are a lot of things the government dropped the ball on...but to say Justin fingers are not dirty is not true, he may not own the entire cluster F*ck but they did have some responsabilty in it all
