  1. Why not cut the gas tax to help Canadians?

    Liberal Stooge: Because the price of gas is volatile…?

  2. 95% of trader lose learn to hold. No one goes from broke to rich without market pain. Stop selling and buying on emotion. Buy. Hold. Get through the pain. In 10years you”ll do great. Don’t buy meme coins.

  3. Raising rates won’t lower inflation imo as fuel costs won’t be affected and price will remain elevated

  4. im confused on how bigger government and more spending is going too stop inflation.
    wouldnt the opposite work?

  5. NDP: add fuel (money) to the fire ( inflation); CPC: cut some of the oxygen ( hot money, government spending, carbon tax) that cause the fire; The Liberal: I am so great, I am so on fire and I am gonna do nothing which is the best for Canadians!

    1. Well, you forgot Chrystia Freeland and Jagmeet Singh — they are the gears of one mechanism, which must be disassembled and be sent to the dustbin of history.

  6. I believe the government has mo other choice than to “re-packaging” programs because they have already doubled Canada’s federal debt and at some point will be answerable to international bankers and facing a downgraded credit rating.
    Debt repayment is now $400 Million per day and rising interest rates will drive it higher..

  7. The elitist DISCONNECT of this government from the economic reality of average Canadians is truly acute. (Amidst worsening financial crisis and the Deputy Prime Minister chooses to wear an affluent corporate pantsuit and pearls to present a inadequate budget to struggling Canadians!?) Every minister has their delusional talking points which they convey with such arrogant tone deaf indifference to any and all critique. And this is what they do overtly. Meanwhile, they are also passing covert legislation minutes after midnight (lit) in the creation of a Truth Ministry. I never thought i would ever have this degree of distress in relation to the federal government. And thanks to the NDP solidarity our Country’ ruin is assured!

  8. Raising rates won’t lower inflation imo as fuel costs won’t be affected and price will remain elevated

  9. Yes Canadians cannot afford to wait for the end of the year 👌 Canadians need help now.

  10. The NDP saying anything against the liberals while propping them up to increase spending sounds like a very tight circle argument regarding inflation

  11. Time’s up for this government. No ideas. Deceptive practices. No responsibility.

  12. We need a strong party that tell like it is and admit that government is the only problem start shrinking government drastically

  13. Getting Rid of Justin Trudouche would be a giant step in the right direction

  14. Why not cut the gas tax to help Canadians?

    Liberal Stooge: Because the price of gas is volatile…?

  15. I believe the government has mo other choice than to “re-packaging” programs because they have already doubled Canada’s federal debt and at some point will be answerable to international bankers and facing a downgraded credit rating.
