Even Trudeau is not that dumb. They’ll let PP at least shape the chair cushion with his ass print before they pull the rug right out from under him. My bet: they go in the spring but I may be full of shit. We’ll see. In interim, they’ll pray for at least one super-duper Poilièvre gaffe per week for the video reel.
I wonder if most Canadians have even an inkling that we’re actually already in double digit inflation? If they do, how much more damage can be perceived by potential or likely voters?
But if most people don’t even have a clue, or buy into the government’s bullshit inflation statistics, then you’ve got one hell of a good point there.
“Bribing people with their own money wins elections!” That’s the left hand, while the right one hires an unprecedented number of CRA auditors to get the money back. The JustinShuffleTM at work.
USA has hired sixty thousand new IRS agents to target
the middle class taxpayers. The CRA is undoubtedly running a similar operation in light of Federal Reserve tightening via QT instead of QE Infinity.
There is no possible or probable way that the central banks can extricate themselves from this intractable mire.
Volcker was the last central banker with any semblance of fiscal prudence.
Trudeau is going to be ousted for his financial illiteracy sooner rather than later given what’s going on across the border.
Canadians must now appoint me as BofC governor if they ever want to stem the outsized inflation. I’ll need an armored car to get to work and back IMHO.
Warren,
Interchangeable text:
“THIS guy actually thinks he can beat ME!? Ha.”
Did you actually call me a Crime Minister?
Your schwartz is as big as mine!
PP: “I’ll get you my pretty, and your little dog too”….
Fast forward to upcoming Federal election:
PP: “You cursed brat! Look what you’ve done! I’m melting! MELTING!”……
PJH,
Aren’t we already well on our way down the YellowBrickRoadTM? That seems to be the gist of the new guys.
Double P: Call a vote, now.
JT: Be careful what you wish for.
Doug,

Spring vote, prudent move except … if there are dark economic clouds on the horizon, JT might want to go to the polls, sooner.

the first rule of right club…
PP: “Inflation is everywhere and always a phenomenon of Monetary Policy.”, Mr. Trudeau.
JT: “Books balance themselves.”, Mr. Poilievre

Robert,
That’s what is so comfortable about this Prime Minister, his typical grasp of the issues. A1 effort, as usual…next.
What’s next?
