Emptying Our Wallets for Climate Change = Must be Good (In NDPLiberals' Eyes)

 "...Chrystia Freeland, a deputy prime minister who has bragged about her colleagues’ appalling economic performance, claiming that it is actually good for Canadians to empty their wallets at the gas pumps, because of its implications in fighting the “climate emergency.” I simply cannot believe that this absolute failure of economic policy is now being trumpeted as a positive accomplishment. Here’s a hint for you saintly progressives: if you cared about the poor (the real poor, not the hypothetical poor you are hypothetically saving in the future), you would seek to drive down the cost of energy — energy that is precisely equivalent to work and, therefore, to the wealth that ameliorates poverty...."

The Repetitively Wrong Way to Invest During Down Markets

When equities are "on sale", Canadians tend to do the opposite- sell versus buy more. 

Warren Buffett made most of his returns during recessions.

 "...Canadian mutual funds posted net redemptions of $10.4 billion in June as investors headed for the exits amid market volatility. That’s an acceleration from May, when a net $6.4 billion was pulled from mutual funds...."

"Miscommunication", "Misunderstood"...for such a transparent government, how many more times do we need to hear these words by the NDPLiberals: This time thr "independent" RCMP (Lucki)

 "Miscommunication", "Misunderstood"...for such a transparent government, how many more times do we need to hear these words by the NDPLiberals (re: Lucki and NS shooting, Mendicino's emergencies measures "advice seeking", Butts/Wilson-Raybould/Trudeau on SNC-Lavalin....)

More meddling of independent institutions by your NDPLiberals - No one (Bill Blair) to be demoted or fired this time

More meddling of independent institutions by your NDPLiberals. This time, Canadians' public safety (and not a Justice Minster that was demoted for pushing back).  Sunny ways. 

"...The parliamentary committee looking at allegations that the federal government put pressure on the RCMP in the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in Canadian history is unlikely to bring down Bill Blair, the then public safety minister. But it will do little to bolster the confidence of Canadians in the head of the national police service..."

Subsidies for Overpriced Electric Vehicles: Is This Really An Innovative Climate Change Policy?

 Where does it stop? How about subsidies for Overpriced houses? 

"...The subsidy offers a $100,000 rebate for several Lion truck models, including the Lion6, which retails for $300,000 to $350,000, Bédard said. Customers can also get $150,000 in funding for the Lion8T, which retails for $550,000 to $600,000.

While subsidies for EVs have proven to be popular, it’s not always clear whether the incentives are boosting demand or providing a benefit for relatively wealthy buyers who would have purchased the vehicles anyway..."

Trudeau's Campaign-Like Stops Baffling While Government Services Deteriorate Around Him: At Least It's One Way To Campaign...on the Public Dime

Immigration backlogs, unissued passports, emergency rooms at capacity, pilots' certifications delayed...

"...So far, no one’s been able to figure out quite why he’s doing this. He hasn’t used the trips to make any policy or funding announcements, wasn’t in town for fundraisers and the notion of a fall election seems absurd even by Liberal standards.

It’d be great if the media could ask him during one of his many photo-ops, but he’s forbidden journalists from posing questions. He wouldn’t want anything to distract from his carefully curated tableaus, and reporters have a pesky habit of wanting to talk about things other than children’s stories and fruit..."
