  1. No, they are too busy writing checks for other countries and spending $95,000 per trip/flight on Catering

  2. The question is not if they can but more if they will. Because they can if they want to.

  3. Yes, the government can do more to help with inflation. What Canadians really need from Trudeau is more spiritual leadership through male feminism. He needs to provide Canadians with a male feminist hand book of his philosophical teachings, daily proverbs and hymns for meditation. With his soothing voice, it is nourishment for our souls. Through Trudeau’s talented and devotional mentorship, Canadians, as his pilgrims, can endure high inflation with dignity and finally defeat the climate crisis.

  4. Short of introducing a brand new, resource backed money, no.
    The Canadian dollar is debt.
    It says so right on the bill.
    Want to know what it doesn’t say?
    That the value belongs to you.

  5. Remember folks. With Harper, the Canadian dollar hit $1.11 USD. With Trudeau, the best was 82 cents. There you go, a 30% swing on all imports. If Trudeau would take this guy’s advice we would benefit from proper conservative economics. Otherwise we suffer until Pierre Polievre takes over.

  11. Scrap the carbon tax and clean fuel standard, get rid of either the gst, hst or both of them, that will help very quickly!
