@Calvin Abbott that will only get worse…. Billc11 i think? i dunno. so much crazy aboot.
So, they’re fixing the inflation issue by printing more money? Awesome, what could go wrong?
@Inflation is theft Incorrect. She cannot do that as it costs too much.
So your preference is zero spending and (perhaps) rely solely on rising interest rates, possibly spending cuts, and attrition? Or would you prefer something else?
@Hyperpandas Yes that is roughly the only solution. Slash the public service, cut taxes, eliminate corporate welfare, re-establish commodity backed currency. the list goes on.
@Fizzyx13 Whoa, how does cutting taxes make sense when the question is how to deal with inflation?
@Hyperpandas Printing money to combat inflation is what the Weimar government tried. I don’t think I need to tell you how that went.
We’ll fight inflation with inflationary plans, brilliant.
Thats not her job its the Bank of Canada job.
@Yotaciv her portfolio
@Yotaciv don’t worry. Bank of Canada owner is part of her tribe. One hand helps the other as they say….coincidence….
@Yotaciv turn a blind eye
Again the poor pay more taxes for other poor affordability
The debt will balance itself!!
Exactly my friend! Trudeau ❤💯
@LAN CABLE blackface will go down as the worst PM in Canadian history
How do you pay for a maxed out credit card? you borrow more. Makes sense.
Worse. She is taking one out on your kids name, and their kids name. That is who will ultimately pay.
borrow from tomorrow until there’s no tomorrow!
Yes print more money!!! That will definitely help with inflation says the finance minister with a degree in journalism. Wow, only in Canada…
That’s exactly the problem.
And zero understanding of economics other than Keynesian theory which is why we’re in the mess we are.
Alright…. the Conservatives are calling for tax cuts. Explain why that makes more sense.
That whole thing was crazy.
Purely logical
@LAN CABLE clearly logic waived bye bye to you a long time ago
So a senior in QC would get 2,000 more a year… Muahahaha ..is this suppose to be a joke ? This senior still has to pay tax on it and gas price is still going up. Politicians are so out of touch with the common folks.
It won’t be a recession – it’ll be a depression. And we are already in a recession.
We’re seeing inflation not recession yet
@Codeman lol okay then. Just because the news hasn’t told you it’s a recession yet then it isn’t.
Collapse
Lmao, no it won’t dude. Relax
We are in a full-blown recession right now
Collapse
No we’re not lol
@LAN CABLE yes we are
So… just so I understand. They are going to fix inflation by printing more money? That breaks my brain.
When you use words like “could, estimate, and might” is when you ask your parents for something and they say “we’ll see” which usually means “no”. How do you expect me to believe anything you say?
We’ll fight inflation with inflationary plans, brilliant.
Yessir!! I forsee a golden age for the Canadian economy
A journalist as Finance minister, what could go wrong!
Idk what you’re talking about. It was the perfect choice
Freeland needs to answer questions about the illegally invoked emergency act
This one is the most dangerous person in Canada even worse than Trudeau.
Lmao 🤣, she’s an amazing women. I’d vote for her to be prime minister even
I love how she opens by saying no country is to blame nor the cause, the quickly points out China’s zero covid policy and Russia’s war. These are the best trick of the hand, illusion speak ever. Quick of hand speak that circles around problems and seeks to over justify why citizens suffer.
We are a peace loving democratic nation, they are not and are atrocious. Simple
@LAN CABLE you seem to have a Marvel movie understanding of the world.
Is called gaslighting.
The irony of her name being “Freeland” yet she’s doing the polar opposite to our land.
Freeland needs to be held accountable and justly prosecuted to the full extent of the law .
For being an amazing politician during the pandemic? Lmao 🤣
@LAN CABLE No for doing the bidding of the world economic forum instead of Canada.
@Brent Hastings Thats not true, she has Canada’s best interests at heart and is doing everything she can to ensure our prosperity continues.
@LAN CABLE you for now are free to believe in whatever, she does not get trust or bank account
@LAN CABLE hahaha!!! You’re out of your mind.
