OTTAWA — OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.5 per cent. It’s the first hike since July 2023. The central bank wants to control inflation by reducing the risk that high fuel prices could spill over and seep into the overall economy.
Fuck you, Most Feminist Prime Minister™ in Canadian history.
Fuck your Katy Perry and biological children with a diseased flange from a septic tank.
What does the PM and former PM (and his gf and kids) have anything to do with the independent Bank of Canada?
They do have levers. Several in fact, while the BOC simply monitors one number and responds with the other.
For just one option, the largest effect on monetary supply is taxes, not interest rates.
It’s easier to blame someone in power who you don’t agree with for everything than it is to have a more nuanced view and recognize that complicated issues never have simple solutions. This isnt to say that some of those problems don’t land at Carney’s, or previously Trudeau’s, feet, but not so much this one. And the solution isn’t so simple as to be encapsulated by a catch phrase like “Axe the Tax”.
My PM’s solution is to hand over more assets and control over the the billionaire Epstein class.
Fk Pierre. I’m happy he’s not in power.
The ones in power aren’t looking any better either.
That has been a pretty common trend for both the conservatives, regardless of the party name, and the Liberals for the last 30 or 40 years, if not longer. I can’t recall if Mulroney did or not, but I would be unsurprised. But I slexpect the gender or preference of partner in Carney’s kid doesn’t have any bearing on that situation.
I’m not going to shill for his kids or be their vanguard.
They shove my loved ones and I into the grinder without a thought. Therefore, I start wishing and hoping the worst for their’s.
I don’t worship a plus sign. I’m never “turning the other cheek”.
Do I want christian nationalism or sharia? No, of course not. Will I gladly pick it as a last resort to destroy the peace for the oligarchs in my country? 💯 yes.
These two situations are orthogonal. You not seeing that is your problem, not theirs.
I never claimed to play by their rules.
They destroy mine. I return the favour every which way possible.
Cool, attack them for their class, and what they and theirs do to others. But this is about as dumb as attacking black people in Canada because Obama was president of the US.
They threw mine into the grinder without any thought.
I’m returning the favour
They threw your gf and kids into a grinder? Geeze, sounds like you should be filing a police report, not posting on an obscure social media platform
Ok.
Wut?
🐔 butt
Trudeau kept the inflation under control very well compared to what almost every other country saw in the same time period.
I liked his election reforms.
uh…The Bank of Canada sets interest rates, not the PM.
The Prime Minster of Canada is Mark Carney, since 2025. Update your flags.
I’m well aware.
I believe in the freedom and our right to burn flags.
I’m not with the flag shaggers.
Maybe read your comments before posting.
I don’t know how to read or write english.
