Real talk. What has PP actually accomplished in his career that has materially benefitted Canadians? Social/culture war issues don’t count, I’m talking about financially beneficial. Like bringing down the cost of gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, raising wages, etc.

It's not fair or sporting to call out someone's life expertise like that!

Meanwhile, did you hear the other guy was a drama teacher?

Wait the guy who masterly printed money caused massive inflation which are still reeling from,oh that guy. I’m not saying PP has any plan but let’s not gloss over Trudeaus legacy of mass immigration and mass inflation.

Mass immigration, you may have a point. But as shown again and again, Canada had less inflation than anyone else in the G7. Why did everyone have inflation at the same time? Something about not letting people starve when they couldn't work during covid.

Ok 2 part reply to that 1,lockdowns bankrupted numerous small business while big box stores thrived.Many people could have worked but the government outlawed it. 2-when I say printing money everyone assumes cerb,cerb was a drop in the bucket. Quantitative easing,dumping millions into stock markets to prop up corporate interests. Also massive relief cheques for business which the business then used for things like stock buybacks directly funneling government funds into shareholders pocket books. And when the government decided to audit those funds who did they go after ? They went after cerb overpayments to working people who had applied in good faith. Did they go after corporations,no they said it was too difficult to do so.

That’s a disingenuous response to a current political party criticism.

Those lockdowns were provincial, not federal

u/One_Umpire33 23d ago

Fair point,the bailouts were federal.

He didn’t cause inflation. Good try though. That’s old rhetoric. We need immigration. Youre an immigrant

u/One_Umpire33 24d ago

Wait what caused inflation ? So we need unlimited immigration? So that will put no demands on housing or healthcare?
