Pierre Polievre and the Conservatives are using lies and misinformation to play grievance politics while promising to fix everything, offering no plans for how they’re going to do that, and saying, “I’m not Justin Trudeau.”
Canada deserves better. Much better.
We have a high credit rating because foreign creditors can liquidate our pension to pay for default.
Debt to GDP excludes provinces, unlike other country.
Inflation is being gamed by buying half of all mortgage bonds to depress shelter inflation. Our FX is falling as poor renter subsidize asset holders, and due to our high sensitivity to interest rates due to the overlevered housing bubble.
I’d be curious what GDP will do without mass immigration. Per capita GDP is lower than before Trudeau took over if I’m not mistaken, as our government creates new federal employee at breakneck speeds.
The lifting children out of poverty seems pretty weird given housing and rents doubled. I guess unfunded cheques paid for with future austerity is enough to make it positive?
