You didn't post anything 'new'. 

What is happening in other countries is not relevant to what happens in our country.  

I'll put it another way - if every country was doing better would our rate be 'bad' then? What would have actually changed?  It's like complaining your wage isn't enough because the neighbour makes more. 

Our rate is significantly higher than it should be. That is the only measure that matters. 

But it IS lastyear.  This year's inflation is stacked on TOP of last years. So last year's prices are still with us today, any inflation now ADDS to those prices. 

I did try to explain that to you. 

And the links i provided discussing the causes are all from this year. 

And you think last year has no impact on this year?  what, do you have the memory capacity of a goldfish or something?

Ask someone who's trying to afford rent or their first home right now how 'great' we're doing with inflation. 

I suppose that you repeating a lie is not an argument.  But Either way you're still wrong. 

Your links aren't relevant. We're doing poorly on the inflation front. We should be MUCH lower OR our interest rate should be (they're two sides of the same coin). 

The primary causes of our over target inflation are goernment spending, unsustainable levels of immigration  and taxes.  Not 'becuz odders is moar!"

If the gov't reduced immigration, cut spending and eliminated wasteful taxes like the carbon tax inflation would very quickly drop and interest rates with it. 

I understand your frustration, but I must respectfully disagree with your uninformed arguments. While it's true that last year's inflation contributes to this year's prices, the causes of inflation are complex and multifaceted, and cannot be solely attributed to government spending, immigration, or taxes.

Furthermore, the relationship between interest rates and inflation is not a straightforward one-way correlation. Inflation is a global phenomenon, and it's crucial to consider international trends and economic factors when analyzing our own economic situation.

1. Inflation is world wide, hence an international issue.

False.

2. Burning fossil fuels...whatever is doing that. Cows and pigs do not run on fossil fuels LOL

Not enough to make a difference if we're just talking about canada

3. I am not pushing an agenda, just responding to your posts. Take em if you want or leave em if you want....changes nothing, they are fact.

You're pushing the usual agendas - trudeau does no wrong and we need to pay moar tax to fight climate change,

4. My point isl, if you boycott, at least you should know the facts and understand all the facts.

We'll you're not boycotting as i understand it so at least you take your own advice.

First semi intelligent reply i've seen from you.  You used AI didn't you   

However the statement is still wrong. Inflation is actually pretty simple. And the vast majority of it is directly associated with immigraiton, taxes and spending.  Over target inflation and higher interest rates would vanish overnight.

If you put unearned dollars into the economy in the form of gov't spending then inflation goes up. Always. 

If you have more people than you have capacity to provide services and goods for them inflation goes up as demand exceeds supply. Always

And taxes don't ALWAYS drive up inflation but they tend to. 

It's that simple.  You can offset that various ways sometimes but it really is quite simple.  If there's more money there's more inflation, if there's less supply there's more inflation.  If the gov't had cut spending by 3 percent we wouldn't have had to raise interest rates according to scotiabank and we still would have reduced inflation.  If we did not bring in so many people there would be less demand for housing and food and inflation would be  lower. 

Honestly now  that should be pretty obvious even without the economists saying so.

It'll help. There's mounting evidence that carbon pricing is reducing CO2 emissions. Perhaps you're expecting a near immediate effect like steering the wheel on a car - it's more like steering a massive ship away from its collision course and it takes longer for the bow respond to the rudder.

It doesn't help at all 

Even if canada's emissions went to zero it would make almost no difference.  There is no evidence at all that carbon pricing is reducing emissions in the slightest despite the best efforts of the gov't and environmental groups to desperately try to find some to try to keep the public interested 

And they admit they have no way of tracking it or telling one way or another. 

And the reason they didn't bother with that is that it's JUST a tax.  It doesn't fight climate change. 

In bc where they did try to make a serious effort to track it they found that carbon taxes at best reduced the rate of increase of GHG's by about 5-10 percent.  It didn't reduce them at all.

The only way carbon tax can reduce emissions is to damage the economy so badly that activity reduces.  If nobody can afford to go out or businesses slow down etc, then sure - emissions will go down.  But that is not desirable.

Then in that case, Trudeau is a genius. 

And of course, by genius, I mean:

Honestly I think the only reason he just doesn't burn the country down and fiddle is that he's worried about the emission levels being too high

Yup, you just continue to prove my point.

"Man, you are one sad individual LOL

Re-read all your posts. There is not one where you are not whining or complaining.  My comment is not an attack but stating a fact"

I just keep proving my point that you are a lefty liberal imbecile. When will you ever get that?

"Sad individual", eh? It's more like i am a happy individual and i am enjoying sparring with an imbecile like you all the time. You do give me great pleasure and enjoyment to have fun with. 😁

Why is my stating the facts deemed to be whining and complaining? I am not whining and complaining, i  am just pointing out the facts, mam. You are the real whiner and complainer here because all you do is that you keep whining and complaining about every thing that i say here. So, unless this is all that you can come back with, i would suggest to you that you just STFU and go away. Goodbye. 🤣

And increase our carbon taxes again.
