Now to get to 3.5?

That would explain why I have so many strange people wandering around my office right now.

Those are called warrant officers, they are a strange creature, but careful they are easily frightened, and may run to timmies.

WOs I know and understand. These are guys in suits with ear buds.

If Carney actually said that, he is so far out of touch with reality he might never recover.

Compared to whom? Pierre is even more out of touch, especially after his $60 chili video. that said i agree, this statement seems out of touch given the massive spikes in food, gas, etc. Sure my tax return was great, but that doesnt help me long term.

But it's nicely in line with the 'Laurentian Elite' brand

The spikes in gas and the trickle on rise to the food prices due to fuel increases, is completely outside the realm of possibility to address for any Western open economy government.

If you want to 'blame' anyone for that, please feel free to address your complaints to Bibi and The Donald. I'm that they'd love to hear from you. If texting them, to ensure quicker response times, please use the word 'b*mb' somewhere in your msg.

No thanks, I'd rather not make a truth social account just to complain

That's a simple politically biased cop-out.

If you aren't willing to be accountable don't be a leader. This Gov has been in power for a decade +. Their immigration and financial polices, or lack there of in some cases, put us here.

He promised better times. People expect better times.

I fully expect this guy PMMC to pull a Jacinda (and JT ?) and abandon Canada as soon as he is done tinkering.

My friend, Carney cut the taxes on gas prices for consumers straight off the bat. It brought gas back down to the 1.25 - 1.40 price range around the country. The fact that its spiked up above 1.80+ is completely - completely outside his control. I'd be saying this exact same thing to you if Pierre was the PM right now. These sort of events are beyond the control of this government or ANY CDN government unless we elect the NDP and they Nationalize our oil/gas industry and create an artificial pricing model that exists outside the world economy.

You cannot be so politically biased to think our economic situation was milk and honey before the US went into Iran, and this as since ruined a once great plan ? At best the Iran conflict has just sped things up a little.

Carney carries the blame not just for his time in office but his party's time in Government. The party that has driven this country into the ground and then convinced Canadians that it is our best choice to get us out.

People are expecting delivery on that.

I don't think that.

I'm simply saying that right now, the spike in gas prices from the roughly 1.35 price up to 1.80+ is a direct result of the US/Israeli/Iran war - AND when food prices spike up because of a direct spike in gas/oil, its the same thing.

Our economic situation, housing situation, the price of food and food inflation, it was all shit before Iran; and now the price of gas is just a useful deflection.

Canada had the highest rate of food inflation of all it's peer nations before Iran.

Canada could be really stepping up in spite of the Russian or Iran situations, but this country has squandered it's potential for O&G export. This country is cooked.

I know saying Canada is broken is faux pas now... but....

We're at least not in tip top shape or in a good position ATM.
