You basically lost me at "PANDEMIC". My morning rant below.
Inflation is caused by many things, not just a supply/demand curve during good economic times.
Government spending/incurring debt causes inflation to a massive degree. Grab a chart and look at the correlation between the debt/inflation. Then check out real wage growth...Wait until 2024 is over when billions of commercial/residential mortgages mature.
Unfettered mass immigration bursting our services/housing at the seams.
Oh, we have a housing crisis?? Why is that JT? Massive amounts of immigrants, that is why.
No government in the history of Canada has segmented/divided Canadians to the extent the libs have in the last 2.x terms. They treat people differently based on skin color, sexual orientation, religion. The LIBs are basically pro DEI for the entire country (hope you are not a while/hetro/male).
We have Palestinian protests going on inside government buildings and they are not arrested. Yet the 'truckers' were arrested, bank accounts frozen AND JT triggered the emergency act.
Why are certain groups, you can create your own bucket here, treated differently from others?
Don't forget that
any government that states you have to take a drug in order to get benefits you paid into is a fucking dictatorship.
The policy is intended to protect workplaces from outbreaks and encourage vaccine uptake, says Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough

"Climate policy". It is -38c in Alberta this am. They want to basically remove O&G energy. Canada would be fucked without this, uninhabitable.
Anyone supporting the libs is one of 3 things:
1) Welfare/government teat sucker
2) LGTBQ+xdajkdljsdf
3) Ignorant of basic economics
lol its cold for a week and all of sudden it hasn't been hottest winter in recorded history.. warming is a measurement imperial data.. the climate/earth is warming as a whole... thats not the argument, the argument is to what level humans impact this or anthropogenic effect. What WILL help answer this is time, we should expect at least some cooling around 2035-2045.. If things continue to warm during this time it will be bad news... warming should at LEAST slow by than.
also when inflation happens yes gov spending HAS to increase as EVERYTHIN COSTS MORE.. little bit of chicken and the egg. but by and large its supply demand. this is why inflation is WORLDWIDE and not isolated to canada or USA even market isolated from USA see crazy inflation.. so you have been spun a bit of a yarn. AGAIN, if talk to economist ~95% of inflation is supply demand. our dollar stays around 75 cents for the most part other than around 2008, it still is today, so what exactly is mechanism of gov spending if our dollar has remained stable in relation to import prices? Canada AGAIN has some of the LOWEST inflation compared to other G7 nations(and alot better than others outside, Japan being only country doing slightly better) . Not perfect, but when doing better than most countries world wide, thats ok in my book.
immigration has remained steady for last 60 years more or less same increase year over year esp when talk % of population.. so again, someone wove you one as simply not facts and praying on your emotion re Doug Ford. Interesting in USA REP actually tend to let MORE people in..They do this as it means cheap labor new tax $ etc and props up economy. infact, canada NEEDS alot more people in order to sustain growth.
protesting is important your right! Doug Ford ASKED FOR JT to invoke the emergency act... did you know that? and when asked about it he wasn't mad about it and said YES please!.. His other conservative buddies did bitch about it for him though, even though HE ASKED FOR IT.. infact BY LAW the province HAS to ask for it, and they did... simple FACTS.. but again, emotion lets people not take this in and blame JT for something DOUG asked for...
what are you talking about medical? you didn't need a jab to garner public services? you didn't need it to get benefits EI.. IF you lost your job (which not many actually did as know plenty of un vax people, they got asked to but no one ACTAULLY was fired) I am sure there was a FEW people though. was only a few months and if couldn't find a Dif job at that time you were looking as shit was BOOMING.. ALSO important to remember VAX PASS WAS **PROVINCIAL*** NOT FEDERAL policy ie not JT.
will agree people are divided, but dont think PP is a guy who is going to bring folks together as pretty FAR RIGHT as far as conservatives esp compared to last few leaders..
Look at provincial debt, who in past 40 years actually payed off sizeable amounts of debt? do you know? would you believe it is the NDP? crazy right.. but its true..doing so made for harder times though. unfortunate its norm gov keep getting more and more debt, again see federal debt, libs actually left gov in less debt than they started, not so for conservatives.. JT went through a pandemic and still got us into pretty similar debt to HARPER GOV... not great, but was a pandemic.
FACTS ARE IMPORTANT!
I encourage you to welcome immigrants, you may not realize how many more people we need in canada to keep the ship afloat. just think of it like spreading debt out more. every gov loves more people, more people more $$, speaking of which PP wants to stop letting foreign students in which is ASKING for universities to collapse. we charge 5-6X for foreigns students so they are a huge for Canadas universities but also economy as they bring $$$. while yes certain places can affect housing market its very much a net gain for canada.. your grandparents or great grandparents came here, never forget that, they were prob grimy Ukrainians or dirty Irish or grease ball Italians and they all saw each other in that negative way you see migrants today, but they broke ground and built a nation, one of the best in the world BTW mostly from poorest people from around the world.
housing crisis or wage issues? think of if you lived in some places in Europe were it is actually impossible to buy a house. Canada, not so much, get yourself a trade, say power engineer can buy yourself a house pretty dang easy pretty much anywhere making 150-200k from 2 year degree that u get payed to take essentially. if anything paying TRADES to much $ for what they are really worth drove up prices and allowed anyone with 2 brain cells to get a home or 2 before were 30yo also driving prices up.. there is FAR to many dingbats making WAY too much money for what they do, heck plumbers prob making more than guys actually grinding shit out on the rigs keeping the light on with barely anymore know how and work way less hard, get union brakes etc. id blame unions for housing prices before migrants unless downtown van or Toronto, foreign money is how canada survives, infact how most countries survive, never forget that..
don't allow people to trigger anger to blame other people ESP when comes to political choice. Both sides are guilty of this and often is pick your poison. PP just is far to nefarious and I hope people can see how bad of an idea his digital currency is and how it will just deflate Canadas dollar and more importantly is keystone to CONTROL.. again, Joe rogan talks about this all the time centralized digital currency is a very bad thing, PP is selling this to folks, esp as most of those folks want less gov and more freedom.. thats not what PP is planning, again there is a very good reason harper invested in Israel surveillance tech. I hope you read the article I posted, glad someones talking about it, peoples party of canada should be banging down doors DO NOT ALLOW CENTRAL DIGITAL CURRENCY.. im sure it will come, they save stuff for closer to election time so people remember lol. imagine if PP was in power and he invested bajillions into becoming "centre for BTC" as he said, cut to BTC crash, thank GOD Canada didn't have to take that hit from his stupidity. young people love crypto and NFT, but I think most now are seeing its not the wonderful thing to make mad cash ASAP.
guess one good thing PP wants to do is get rid of unions as most conservatives do to drive prices down. all part of cutting red tape....also teachers unions, conservative prov leaders HATE THEM, never mind nurses unions lol conservative prov leaders had to derail them a bit for the pandi lol.. some aspects of unions are great and very NDP liberal thing, but when most trades and mill workers are sitting on there ass for 7 of 8 hours a day its a bit much esp when making more than people really risking there life. often the guys who really bust ass in mines are sub contractors making 50% of what union guys make and working 5X harder. so in that regard I disagree, dont get me started on rail workers that ship our goods.. those guys retire at 45-50yo most of there career (for some not all) is sitting having coffee and bitching that the boss asked them to do more work "but its a holiday and im only making double time, I dont want to" lol if want to know why shit costs so much is because guys who couldn't pass high school and dont even work hard are making 150k a year and goes up from there, also with wonderful pensions, benefits EDO etc etc. kicked out union could easily half the price of shipping commodities and guys still get payed decent. but unions do help guys who get injured at work esp guys who really bust ass and risk life to keep economy of a small town going and my lefty snowflake heart loves that shit lol.. but ALSO unions shut down mills because wanted more money when half the guys showed up drunk and fell asleep, the tried to call the companies bluff, but just became too expensive to run so shut down 1000 people lost employment, was 50% of economy of the city... so also fuck unions. lol
anyway, glad I could clear up some objective truths for you.. some things are debatable(and won't pretend JT is some perfect statesman) but 98.5% of what you said is simply rhetoric someone sold you in a heaping hot pile.
