You're being ridiculous.

The videos above are of THE INDUSTRY EXECUTIVES TESTIFYING AT COMMITTEE MEETINGS.

YOU WILL NOT SEE THIS ON CBC.

So what does it matter if the committee meetings are on YouTube government channels or X government channels, like the MPs who sit in those committees.

Your rejection of this information because it's not on CBC - WHO WILL NEVER SHOW YOU WHAT'S HAPPENING IN COMMITTEE MEETINGS -  is just retarded.

For everyone else - this last standing committee meeting on the mould, tool & die industry had 4 executives from 4 different companies.  Their issues are common to all other industries across Canada.  I know this because I had to deal with the tariff/countertariff thing at my job and that small business had to close.

The exec from Cavalier used as an example - the US tariff on a $244,000 tool is $1500.  The Canadian government - Carney - added countertariffs that are actually PUNITIVE to Canadian industry and they added a whopping $36,000 for countertariffs.

Carney has no fuquing clue what he's doing and worse - he clearly doesn't care because he's doing fuque all at working out trade with the US.

Do you not realize how critical this is?

STOP WATCHING THE GODDAMN CBC AND START PAYING ATTENTION.

Sure kid...  What don't you cite some links to back those comments.

 

Oh I think if you read back I did and it's certainly not hard to verify. In fact some of the information I used came from you. I even posted charts with sources

wah wah waaaaaahhhh... you lose again :)   Hell kid you even suck at sealioning ;) 

Affordability was fine in 2010, it was getting worse by 2015 but things were still affordable. A young married couple starting out could buy a home and start a family if that's what they wanted to do. Individuals can afford a one-bedroom apartment as a starter home. 

Even rents were affordable, you paid about a grand for a Good one bedroom apartment. Not exactly cheap but certainly affordable

Cry harder kid :P

No, she doesn't.

that's just what the CBC is telling you.

Guess you know more from your X sources.

She posts her messages AND UPDATES to Albertans on X and I watch them, yes.

BECAUSE CBC DOESN'T COVER THEM.

I need you to explain why following Danielle Smith on X is........WRONG.

You can follow all the news outlets on X.  Here's an example, you can follow even according to the city you're in:

I want LinktheDink to explain why following CTV on X is WRONG, but watching them on TV is OK.

And I'm only trying to show you that X can be a good source of information because I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're just a very old boomer whose main goal every day is trying not to shit his pants and that maybe you don't understand how X works.

Like there's CBC and CTV articles posted there that don't hit the nightly news.

It is ENTIRELY a hidden tax. Consumers wind up being the ones who pay it and they have NO idea how much they're paying.

Get a grip.

It's not even a tax, its a fee that large industrial emitters pay and collect amongst themselves. The government gets nothing. The consumer is charged nothing.

What little amount does pass through to consumers is so low it's approximately 0%.

Industrial fees add roughly $0.12 to the final cost of a refrigerator and less than $3.00 to the price of a pickup truck.

Like I said get a grip.

I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

Nope. It was him and the Bank of Canada. Literally everybody else was expecting inflationary pressures. In fact it seems so obvious and so many others predicted that it would be that it border lines on deliberate misinformation when they said that it wouldn't

I certainly don't specifically remember, but below is a s=imple search result.  Looks like he wasn't the only economist that was wrong...  but you know better don't you kiddo 😂

In 2020 and early 2021, the consensus among many economists, central bank officials, and international institutions (like the IMF) was that the pandemic would create a massive "negative demand shock" similar to the 2008 financial crisis, driving prices down.

  • Wrong Prediction: In 2020, many feared a "deflationary trap" due to businesses shutting down and consumption plunging.
  • "Transitory" Inflation Call: When prices began rising in 2021, top U.S. economists—including Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen—initially called the rising prices "transitory".
  • Nobel Economists: In 2021, 16 of 36 living American Nobel economists incorrectly declared there was no threat of inflation from new government stimulus.
  • Missed Supply Constraints: Most models failed to predict that the combination of massive stimulus (demand boost) and severe supply chain disruptions would cause 40-year high inflation, rather than deflation.

No, it doesn't. 

It absolutely does have merit...with oil demand projected to peak around 2030  Won't even try to convince your uneducated and bias mind otherwise...

He very clearly isn't.

You should probably look at the pipeline MOU with Alberta for details and where it stands.  News today actually that the federal government favours a southern route through BC that would face fewer environmental hurdles and less resistance from FN's.  If in your mind it's all smoke and mirrors, so be it... personally don't care, and would prefer not to see a northern bitumen pipeline built.

Awww muffin, out defending your beloved liberals again i see :)

It's a tax. And of course the consumer pays it.

Quote

What little amount does pass through to consumers is so low it's approximately 0%.

It is 100% of the tax that passes through and amusingly it gets marked up along the way. So consumers pay even more than the government took

Quote

We've been through this and so has dalihousie.  

Industrial carbon taxes apply to not only energy but also fuel and other things in many areas of the economy and it winds up being cumulative. Look at the trucking industry alone. With the built-in carbon taxes when the fertilizer manufacturer sends the fertilizer to the farmer carbon taxes are paid on that fuel and that winds up being billed to the farmer. The farmer has to mark it up in their pricing. Then it's trucked to A supplier, and more carbon taxes paid along with the markup from the previous carbon taxes. Then his truck to the grocery store, and even more carbon taxes are paid plus the markup from the previous two carbon taxes. Have a grocery store has to mark up its prices to cover all of those markups and carbon taxes

So when Loblaws charges you for an apple, they want to make 3% profit. They've been extremely clear about that and government research has shown that that's exactly what they do. So they're putting that 3% on top of all of the gas taxes and other markups as well

It makes a massive difference. And that should be obvious, you cannot charge tens of billions of dollars of taxes and not have that show up somewhere. Your argument is that the government can just simply yank 30 or 40 million dollars in taxes from industry and the consumers won't pay for it it just magically vanishes somewhere along the way

So what you really mean isn't get a grip, what you really mean is stop picking on my beloved liberals because they need the money :) 

If it has such a little impact then pull the taxes. Obviously there's not much impact so might as well not have them. Right? Right?

 

Like I said get a grip.

Regarding housing and your think-alike friend Fxx... I asked you yesterday to prove me wrong. Guessing you can't, can you...

it's pretty obvious you want to believe Carney when he said "Affordability is the best it's been in a decade."

There's no facts that will change your mind.

Carney can lie to you and you're on it like a fly on 💩.

In Canada it was him And the Bank of Canada. Your link doesn't actually mention anyone else in Canada that said that  :)  

And in fact the IMF was closer to correct if we're talking globally. Many places experienced a lot less inflation, the inflation was less sticky, and they recovered from a more quickly than candidate did. But specifically we're talking about Canada. And it would appear that in Canada the two groups that got it wrong were the liberals with Carney's advice and the Bank of Canada

Poilievre And a host of other economic people spoke out saying this was not going to be temporary and that the liberals were going to cause great harm by lying and saying that it was because people would rely on that. And that is precisely what happened

And to this very day our food inflation is still the absolute worse than the G7

Connie cannot make a correct prediction to save his life. He is simply bad at his job but his job in his mind is to find ways to line his own pockets and if others suffer that's no problem, he can find another job

You know jackshît about the tool & die industry.  Again, it is heavily geared to the auto sector so why don't you just answer the question of how that industry will 'save itself' if 25% tariffs are meant to lessen our auto sector?

You talk a lot, but fail to see the reality of things and can't answer simple questions.

Lol... this coming from and X junkie...

You might as well because it's definitely just a bandaid - a corporate/political sop to environmental concerns...smoke and mirrors really. It'll reduce consumers consumption of fossil fuels by approximately 0% in 2026 and maybe .01% by 2030.

Popping corks in celebration will release more CO2.

Another case of you knowing better than the majority of economists...  You never did get back on this form a week or two ago but what again is your work experience and education background that gives you this type of insight?

Yes, been through the food inflation thing.  A ~$0.72/1.38 dollar will certainly impact prices.

Sorry little fella but he's all we got right now so rather than hoping for the country to fail, maybe try reading both sides to form better opinions.

You might be surprised...  I grew up literally about 5 miles from Cavalier tool & die, had a number of friends in the industry back then, and have a nephew today who owns a tool & die shop in Windsor.  You.... X?

Great, you watch committee meetings, but for the 4th time now..... tell me how they plan to save themselves with the US bent on lessening our auto industry.
