The Economy Someone Voted For

I certainly didn't:

🇨🇦 Canada This Year: A Country on Permanent Shuffle Mode

(Everything happening at once… almost none of it good)

• 💸 $200M in U.S. weapons bought — for Ukraine.
• 🏦 Big Banks pull in $16.45B in Q4 alone — must be nice.
• 🏚️ CMHC cut by $2.4B during the worst housing crisis…

Now, Carney is planning on bribing the public with its own money:

Introducing Poilievre to Ford has nothing to do with the fact that Statistics Canada reported just last week that grocery prices were up 5% compared to a year earlier, it was Carney’s way of getting a cheap shot at Poilievre. ...

“Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, before I had lunch with the Premier of Ontario, I had a long meeting with the Premier of Ontario, I would like to introduce the Leader of the Opposition to the Premier of Ontario so we can learn something about cooperation,” Carney said.

As the two went back and forth during Question Period, Carney pointed to his new program, the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, a revamped GST credit and things like the school food program to say he was acting. The problem is, the new benefit program will go to 12 million people, but food prices are rising for everyone.

It’s also a problem that Canadians need government to help feed themselves or their kids. Most would rather feed themselves, look after breakfast and lunch for their own kids.

And once upon a time we did that.

Canada has a serious affordability problem and Carney’s plan won’t fix it, it’s a band aid. His sniping at Poilievre won’t accomplish anything either, it’s just raw politics.

It's not meant to.
