As affordability becomes a key topic during the federal election campaign for all major parties, the news that the Canadian economy contracted in the second quarter is bad for both the Liberals and the Conservatives, according to pollster Nik Nanos.

covid didn’t cause this economic forecast the goverment did.
there might be a SARS-COV2 virus, there certainly isn’t a pandemic.
@boghopper If use traditional pandemic definitions increases in overall mortality, Canada has not experienced a pandemic. We had about 2-3% increase over expected mortality, Covid deaths largely replacing more common causes of death in old age. The data indicates we had a pandemic of LTCs and hospital based outbreaks. in the 99 +% of the population that do not in LTCs, hospitals, and prisons had less than 25% of all deaths.
@michaeltrumper it’s much better more (less deaths) than that. i have been posting a reference to a study using stats-can data that pretty much proves that there are no unusual excess deaths in canada. gets deleted faster than i can post
@boghopper Same happens to me. Everything I post that’s 100% based on data just gets wiped instantly. Not even posting any links, it’s just key words or phrases “they” don’t like I guess
@boghopper Is that by Julius Ruechel?
Stagflation has officially arrived.
But unlike last time that happened, there is no disco nor bell bottoms.
@Primmakin Sofis So, you’re saying there is no up side. . .
It’s not covid . It’s the borrowing spree
it’s not covid it’s the politicians
The sight sound of Justin literally makes me sick
Me too.
That’s all on the policies of leadership
The Greens will disintegrate. Paul should pick another riding after the last defeat in this corner of downtown Toronto with so little sympathy for Greens
And the liberal answer is more spending!
Clowns that think they are smart are the real risk to this country
Any economy under the liberals will have a grim forecast
And when the Conservatives get in power it’s going to be sunshine and roses. To put it in Ray Donovan terms “sher.”
@Maureen Wagg Well at least it might be someone who doesn’t think budgets balance themselves, “doesn’t think about monetary policy”, or wants to tax you for everything you own and more.
@Maureen Wagg maybe if the NDP get back in we can have some more Ray Days 🤔
The lIberals dont have a revenue problem they have a spending problem.
It’s more like a theft problem imo
When the economy rate of growth is less than expected, it’s also a revenue problem.
@Blanche Carte When your government has billions to subsidize business and send to foreign nations, organizations, and charities then it is taxing its citizens too much.
Fizzyx13 funny, we don’t have that money though……..
Don’t agree with preferred PM.
Trudeau must go
If replacing with Singh, maybe. Definitely not O’Toole.
@Steven Brock Singh does not understand Economic plus his policies only deal with a fragment of Canadians plus on top of that he is align with the Liberals on their spending and want to spend more and more. O’Toole has a foundation behind him that will help all Canadians…Don’t be tricked…
Liberal government sparks grim……
I always have a barf bag withing reach when I know that I might come across listen Turdeau speaking.
lol
Don’t blame covid-19 for Trudeau’s policies!
It’s not Covid, it’s the loss of business with these discriminatory policies which will be in place
You right.
👍
“Economic forecast” has been grim ever since the Liberals took charge of our economy and tax dollars. A total inept spendthrift government.
Exactly.
Neither of these talking heads are economists. So they analysis is not credible.
Why are economists so poor?
I can’t believe the city of Toronto leans towards the Liberal Party. Yukon! Wake up Toronto…Trudough is a terrible leader
Toronto hasn’t been a Canadian city since the 1980’s
Its not covid its $$$Trudeau’s$$ ignorance of fiscal and monetary policy
