    1. Reality check. Until you’ve actually read about the role of the Bank of Canada you have nothing to say.

    2. Please explain to me how Pierre’s crypto scheme will by pass inflation. Look forward to your answer!

    3. @S Beresford if you hold crypto instead of dollars it won’t depreciate. If you buy crypto it’s taking the printed money out of the loop, still allowing you to purchase things. He says it all the time. Too much money chasing too few goods.
      We need to burn that 43% of the GDP that was printed in 2020.

    1. Or he may have had a stroke not too long ago. Can’t find any verification but his movements suggest he is suffering from a past stroke. Even his voice sounds it.

  1. Hey!! Canada has our very own joe biden! Slightly less dimentia, but just – slightly.

    It would be very interesting to have a professional body language analyst break down his “performance”

    Go Pierre P!!

    1. His body language, particularly the arm flailing, clearly says that he is approaching the equivalent of a four year old’s a temper tantrum if he doesn’t get what he wants.

    1. You do know that David A Dodge has been retired since 2014. Just thought I’d let that sink in.

  2. Emotional response. No substantive answer just saying trust the bank and their decision.

    1. As is the universal case, two plus two ‘could’ equal five, so long as one is emotionally selfretarded by their commitment to being right about what they already believe.

  3. 2:00 minutes I’ll never get back.
    Stupid questions and even more stupid answers… 😬😬😬

  4. David Dodge seems to be totally unhinged, and you can tell he’s a bit crazy. I’ll trust Pierre thank you very much, because he is precise and on point with the details of his arguments.

  5. It’s seems to me the bank did something that has brought my quality of living down. Anybody notice the price of everything now by chance?

    1. Right it couldn’t have been the pandemic, the broken supply chains, the price gouging by oil companies etc. Lol

  6. This guy seems like he has a few cocktails under his belt…. Dodge would tell you everything is rosy… while sending his driver to get 2 dollar a litre gas and 4 dollar loaf of bread…

  7. Look at his reaction, so familiar. When I got home and saw the house was in a mess, I tried to talk to my dog about what happened and that’s exactly what my dog react. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
