i do not know what is hard to understand but i will go again.

Not all provinces get their majority of GDP through natural ressources like oil....

When commodities down, Alberta suffer but Ontario and Quebec thrive with manufacturing economy and a weak dollar.

When commodities thrive Alberta thrive but Ontario and Quebec suffers through a strong dollar.

In the end Canada as a great diversify economy and those that have a good years pay more taxes while others receives hands out and vice versa on other years...

that is why Canada is a great country but obv, far right alberta like yourself just think about me me me me and cant see the big picture, focusing on policies that last couple weeks / months without seeing the big picture.

And the worst is, u show this as a victory while keep complaining about inflation coming from oil...
JFC make up your mind about what u want...

People only care because they are told to. It's not like people are regularly posting/advocating for abortion rights in Europe. It's this week's hot button topic so everybody has to show they care about "women's rights".



That poll doesn't prove it's a swing issue or people actually care. Personally as a family man I am obviously pro-life and it saddens me this is even a topic in current society. But a politicians views on the topic doesn't matter to me and is not even on my radar when deciding who to vote for. And I think majority of people are the same no matter how they feel about the topic.

The question is did all this inflation come from oil. We have had record oil prices before and inflation was not rampant. No question it does contribute but i think supply issues and here in Canada to much Covid Relief for many who did not need it

Reality is Canada can not balance a budget without strong resource revenue. The federal budget will reap the windfalls as well

I think you are confusing two different things. I agree it isn't a swing issue as all parties unanimously agree not to change the status quo and thus it isn't a ballot issue. But that is different from saying people don't care about the issue or are only caring because they are told to. No, I think people do genuinely care and believe the things they believe, but it isn't a ballot issue most of the time.

This pretty stupid. Being a "family man" - I'd say this about myself sans the gendered language - doesn't "obviously" imply one is pro-life. I support choice in part because I support families.

What years ?

Where’s bobo fett ?

Well this is the first surplus for Alberta in 7 years so 8 years ago

As well if Oil is driving this inflation than you are saying Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau are responsible with all the sanctions on Russian Oil which has driven up the price of oil

The world is not binary.
Inflation we live presently isn’t only done by the Russian conflict .
Too much money printing , too much debts , supply shock , covid , ESG regulation , lack of refineries and now a war .
It’s the perfect storm .
But high oil price definitely account for a lot of inflation since energy is used to run the entire economy, services and goods.
It’s at the root of evrything .

No, biden and trudeau couldn’t create or solve all of this by themselves .

But people should stop freaking out about inflation because it’s better then a depression.

It’s very simple to me, or we deal for couple years with inflation and lowered debts or we simply default on it meaning everyone loses and a depression occurs .

But Joe Biden says its all because of Putin?

I see Europe wants Canada to build a LNG plant on the east coast so they can buy CDN Natural Gas. I wonder how they will ship it to the east coast

Happy Canada Day

Holy cow has air travel in Canada become a total crap show. Reality is if you do not need to fly don't especially through Toronto, Vancouver or Calgary

Air Canada is the worst but Westjet not far behind

Of course what does the government do pretty much nothing other than to appoint a comitte to study the problem after they were warned about passport offices and fail to staff border services and border control properly.

But they do not deserve all the blame Air Canada selling tickets for flights they know will never leave the ground.

Tilley really nails it . Shocked to find out Toronto one of the worst in the world

I've been flying regularly through the entire pandemic. The last 2-3 months have been brutal, I don't think I've had a flight yet that hasn't been delayed. Many of my colleagues fly from all over Canada and in the past week have had flights completely cancelled for the next 2 months on them.

How many billions did AC and Westjet receive from Trudeau to keep people employed during COVID and now they claim they don't have enough employees to handle the flights?

So u blame government instead of the crooked management that uses that money to pay themselves bonuses like the banks did in 2008 crisis ?

Just brillant ….

https://globalnews.ca/news/7909607/a...c-bonuses/amp/

“Air Canada paid its top executives and managers a combined $10 million in bonuses tied to the COVID-19 pandemic late last year, despite the airline losing billions of dollars and cutting thousands of jobs in 2020.”

Your biais surely is hard to acknowledge….

No wonder people get screwed by the right, thinking like that …
Better blame government that actually try to help instead of the rich crooks !

Huh? I've always been against any kind of corporate welfare. Yes I blame the Trudeau government for offering the money in the first place but whats AC and WSJ suppose to do, turn it down?

About spend the money to the workers that was meant to be instead of rerouting that money to their own personal benefits ?

And stop thinking it was a mistake for government actions .
Do u actually know what would of happen instead ?

The government gave money to the corporations because one way or the other the government would of end up paying anyway all those unemployment workers through unemployment benefits ….

But government based their decisions on a good will ( which I agree was a major mistake knowing how corporations management operate ) of companies without much rules , never thinking they would actually try to screw the government….lol

Another proof that shows how low regulations would end up for the citizens….
A failure !

Anyway government logic was , if I end up paying either way, mind as well try save the economy at the same time by saving corporations.

It would of been far worst I’d they didn’t and if you can’t see that I just can’t help you .

The government actions were fine but the process to make those actions without much safeguard was terrible .
But it was during a crisis with minimal government employees so I guess nothing is perfect in those situation

In my post I split the blame. I know two people in the last few days screwed by the airlines. One was to leave for Montreal out of Edmonton Thursday flight canceled. The others horror story was this weekend.

As well when Air Canada got the money the promise is they would refund flights cancelled during covid that did not happen either. I gave up on getting my cash for a flight

So why doesn't the government fine the crap out of them, lay down the law.


The blame goes around Passports is strictly on the governments as well as security and the stupid Arrive Can app that just isnt needed

Sure
I won’t argue there .

Canada Airports are amoung the worst and the Liberals are putting in new rules to protect the airlines more


https://www.huffpost.com/archive/ca/...b01b83473088aa

So the Liberals have solved the Passport Office problems.

They will now provide people in line with foldable chairs and bottled water as the committee tries to come up with a solution. Hmmm Hire more people ?

This ones for Uke Mister Climate Phony tells us his targets for 2030 and 2050 Yet he cant plant 2 billion trees like promised.
2 years ago he pledged to plant 2 billion trees by 2030. 2 years in 8.5 million

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tre...e-cp-1.6284165

5 billion pledged for mental health not a $ spent

8 billion for northern defense chances are that never happens either

How's that clean drinking water thing going or the judges report on sexual misconduct? nothing done there either

Well, that is 8.5 million more than the people you voted for would have planted, so that is good. And when you read through the rest of the article, it makes a lot of sense that it is starting slow in the first 2 years because it takes 2 years to grow the seedlings, but is ramping up to do able to do 250m-350m trees annually. It makes sense that a program of this scale is going to grow and not be at its top annual rate in the first year or two.

I get that you are eager to have items on your "list" of talking points that you throw all together with zero context or nuance, but this one is just too soon.

That must be your excuse for everything this government fails at . I am sure those emissions will go down soon.

Oilsands companies have planted over 10million in the last few years.

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadi...aus-government

I was thinking the other day if there is any measurable metric Trudeau and liberals have improved during their reign. I'm curious to what a zealot like Uke would say.

-high inflation
-high cost of living
-high ererngy prices
-housing shortage
-worse healthcare system
-high taxes
-worst in world air travel
-increased emissions
-increase in gun crime

Should I continue with more?

I could add another 10 Now that Teflon Boris is gone lets hope Justin is soon as well. No Prime Minister has done more to destroy this country

Liberals promised a consumer advocate for air travel in 2019

Looks like another promise broken

Justin's great at promising stuff he never delivers on . If the Conservatives cant beat this fool next election sad on them
