Why wasn't this done in 2015 ?

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Am I reading this right? Or am I missing something? The Carney liberals just gave the Muslim terrorist government, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) of Syria $84 million dollars? The same bunch that is massacring Christians? Imposing Sharia law?

The Liberal government is sending $84 million in taxpayer funds to Syria and easing sanctions on the country’s interim government, which is led by the head of a designated terrorist organization.

And the liberal point man for this money is Omar Alghabra.

CONSUMER Carbon tax. Industrial still there. No rebate. Guess what? Most basic business principles, the cost gets passed onto the (drum roll please), the customer, ALL OF US.

No carbon tax. No Carbon fee. No Carbon Tariff. Carbon is an element and nothing else. Its essential for life.

Not gone, just an added step. Instead of taxing us directly, we'll be taxed by the corporations that are hit with larger taxes.

And you don't get a carbon rebate.

Double screwing.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

First week on the job and he's off to Europe to see his green globalist buddies.

As he should. This is a short holiday before he brings in massive carbon taxes on businesses that will ALL trickle down to consumers. It's a trick.

Canada sponsoring terrorism, not surprised.

Double scscrewing.

So an extra 30 cents for every 100 dollars I spend according to several economits got it, we gotta stop acting like this is the main driver of inflation, it's not, it's the cheap target.

Corporations already pass everything on and rare do we see price cuts because corporate taxes went down

Not Liberal supporters. They instantly went from praising the carbon tax and calling out Poilievre for wanting to axe it, to praising Carney for getting rid of it.

It's almost like actual policy doesn't matter.

Its a cult for them.

main driver of inflation

How about the 40 billion, ooops, no 60 billion dollars racked up by the LPC in 2024 alone? They need the Bank of Canada to print money that doesn't exist. Ta-daaa, more inflation.

Not according to RBC and the CD Howe institute, but what do economists know any way right?

The reports full of shit. It only talks in elaborate terms about supply and demand. What is going on is WAY more than supply and demand. When more money is created to chase FEWER goods that are being produced (because it gets more expensive to produce anything). It way fucking more than that, son. Hell even CBC and CTV economist say racking up debt we can't pay drives up money creation.

VERY basic economic question. WHO supplies the government with money when they spend more than they have? It is not created out of thin air (well actually it is when the BoC agrees to buy the debt and every Canadian pays for it).

You got an answer to that? No you don't. If this was your "Gonna get Armyrick with this one, then I am laughing at you. Are you employed by government or in the private sector? You own a business? Ever?

If only there were terms to communicate the volume of goods being chased and of those being produced and a field of study devoted to exploring the relationship between the two and price.

So excuse my ignorance but how can someone be PM without being a member of Parliament? Is this the first time this has happened in Canadian history?

To me this is almost a Elon Musk situation, literally unelected by the public (winning a party election isn’t the same as winning a general election), yet is going to play a large part in government.

Makenzie King
John Turner
Andrew Furey
Danielle Smith

All leaders without seats when they took over as pm or premier.

King was elected leader in 1919 and ran in a by-election that same year. When he won the 1921 general election and became Prime Minister, he was a sitting MP. He lost his own seat in 1925 and 1945, and both times had someone in a safe riding resign so he could be parachuted in for the by-election, which isn't the same thing as this.

Turner was a former MP and cabinet minister (Justice Minister and Attorney General, later Finance Minister). So while he had no seat going into the 1984 election, he wasn't an outsider.

Abbott and Bowell were both senators and Leaders of the Government in the Senate, and in the 19th century that was viewed as nothing out of the ordinary.

Carney is the first ever Prime Minister to have zero Parliamentary background. While there is no regulation against it, it's still highly unusual for someone to become Prime Minister without holding a seat or being in Parliament in some official capacity.

Yes, various circumstances will of course differ slightly.

Anyone trying to somehow imply this is wrong or unprecedented is grasping at straws.

If he decides to ride this out until Oct I’ll joint you in the outrage.

Why? October is not far away. Is 7 months a big deal?
