Oh lordy the Liberal Party politicians are busy with singing a chorus of praise for Carney "making life affordable" yet I haven't noticed costs going down in stores, travel or rent...funny how that is, eh.

Nonsense!

Who?

Let's make him forgetable

Hope you are feeling better.

Agreed, we used to get $1000 carbon tax rebate, we don’t qualify for the grocery rebate. We are seniors on a limited income, losing that rebate hurt.

Most of the provinces have conservative governments and corporate welfare is their only concern--plus oil and gas are their largest donors....

You're welcome.
The majority of what we use has *Always been shipped*--we are a large country, we don't manufacture* much, plus we rely on imported food like fresh produce especially during off season.

*instead we provide raw materials like ore/minerals/tar sands oil/lumber etc...

I am in the exact same situation. We just got screwed.

What you are paying in tax subsidies to oil and gas far exceeds what little you pay at the pumps to keep our roads up to standard.

Contributor: Give drivers a gas tax holiday. Tax windfall profits from oil companies instead One big reason for soaring gas prices is oil companies' greed. They're taking advantage of multiple crises to charge more simply because they can.

I am in the same situation. Here's reading material, check it out before accepting a **very short** term solution. Prices of groceries jumped the day after Carney made his announcement - companies are slapping a fuel surcharge, a "tax". Not only groceries but

🎯 Exactly this!

It helps no one except oil companies.

You're probably correct.

That seems to happen to me in waves.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Im convinced the psychopaths running the show don’t care if this happens.

If they can amass more wealth & power in the short term, divide us with fear & hate and ensure the poor & marginalized suffer & die first, they likely see that as a win.

This is what we’re up against.

note" don't bother reading any news outlets owned by Postmedia because it is owned by a Republican hedge fund and is political propaganda

You could better inform yourself by reading Canadian news just as the rest of the exhausted and worn out world reads that from the US.

"one of many examples" yes, I can't keep up with anymore.

He's ignoring Canadians' needs--look at AI running the government agencies instead of people. It was a long wait on the phone to ask for information, now it's worse.
Recently a senior was cut off a pension due to an AI error.

Carney is a brilliant economist however he forgot we are a Social Democracy, meaning people and communities are a priority not private companies.

He is indeed establishing new trade partners, a win, however he is reducing spending on social programs like healthcaere and more
We are a wealthy country, we can afford to support our social programs.

He eliminated the carbon tax at the expense of the poorest, replaced it with the grocery rebate but left out may folk who used to receive the carbon rebate. Eliminating the gas tax is a win for the oil companbes, not for the average Canadian.
