  1. Mentions the labour force but doesn’t mention the federal debt, this is the whole issue. When you are in massive debt and you lose your job, this is a bad situation made catastrophic.

    1. Really, the Federal debt is the whole issue? So how much does it cost? If you don’t know the cost of servicing the interest on Canada’s debt then how can you complain? 🤔 How is the cost of servicing the interest on Canada’s debt ever going to bankrupt Canada before Justin Trudeau’s crony capitalism corporate welfare?

    2. @Wayne Polk The national debt grows at at rate of 12 billion dollars per month, and this number is growing as the debt grows. Taxes and the cost of living increases to maintain the debt payments.

    3. @Will P Answer the question! How much is the cost of servicing the interest on Canada’s debt? And how can this ever bankrupt Canada before Justin Trudeau’s crony capitalism corporate welfare?
      Do I have to show you, how to research? LMAO@U!

  2. Massive government spending at all levels is the problem. It is out of control and needs to stop.

    1. @John Cam yet Canada post has been known for its horrible service and poor staff treatment why is it that most of these public services perform badly in this country? Don’t come to me with the underfunding nonsense an increase in spending does not equal success so don’t tax hikes to increase tax revenues.

    2. @TheRealPVC never said they were underfunded. but even if you privatize postal service, it isnt going to be better. just look at the amount of accidents Amazon Prime’s just on time delivery system causes.

    3. @John Cam That’s one specific case but it’s far better than what Canada post has to offer. Remember the 2018 Canada post workers strike which delayed the delivery of products by over 5 months? Amazon, UPS, and FedEx revolutionized the game. Before FedEx tracking numbers didn’t exist. They introduced over-night shipping, one day shipping, two day shipping, expedited shipping, you name it.

  3. Stop buddy he knows what he’s talking about you’re all pissed off so he’s saying something right

  4. Wow. Seems like Pollievre always hits a nerve with BoC and the Liberals. It’s why he’s got my vote.

  5. When can we drop off this grandpa in the long term care home? Dude sounds as coherent as Joe Biden. No wonder the Bank of Canada and Canada’s finances are in diasarray.

  6. I’m with Pierre on this one. The central bankers messed up. At least Macklem seems to admit that.

  7. This bozo sounds absolutely hammered…..If he talked like that in a bar, the bartender would cut him off!
