Pierre Poilievre - Crypto currency will save us

[Guest]

I’m going back to the adult table now

That why you need good income support programs and social programs for seniors, the sick and those who are unemployable and can't find work, and to protect those on fixed incomes that don't keep up with inflation. We have several programs for seniors but are they keeping up?

Covid, supply chain issues, low interest rates, material shortages, labour shortages, higher commodity prices and energy price increases, war, sanctions and disruptions along with all the money pumped into economies to keep them afloat during the pandemic, are all causing inflation.

Both Canada and the US spent alot of pandemic programs. Inflation is higher in the US and unemployment in both countries are currently low.

Yes. Lots of government help.
Now we need "programs" to correct the problems caused by the previous government programs.
Wages will have to rise just to keep people on par with their lifestyle.
Rising wages spike inflation...
Goverment needs inflation to pay back debt with inflated dollars.

Same result as a huge tax increase as the government spent your money before collecting it.
Now doubling down to make things "better".

Yes government spending was very high during the last 2 years and some "fiscal" conservative premiers wanted more money from the Federal government. Go figure?

So the one lesson governments learned is to ramp up stimulus during a recession or depression. Austerity would have led to a bigger economic crash. Interest rates were low for much of the last decade because of economic head winds after the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 and then the lower economic activity after the boom in China.

Imagine what would have happened if governments didn't provide emergency stimulus for the economy and protection for workers and businesses who lost their jobs during covid?

So how will crypto currency prevent inflation? How would Pocket Polly reign in inflation, which has many causes right now with a crypto currency and no central bank?

Because economic shocks and downturns are still going to happen and we know "fiscal" Conservatives like Trump and Harper used stimulus to prevent even more serious recessions or depressions.

Are we going to let the gamers and " Game Stop" investors manage the economy? LOL

[chuckChuck]

So where are all the faithfull who think Polly's plan to to have us switch to crypto currencies is a good idea?

I think that idea falls flat with so many, that Polly will quietly shut up about it after the leadership race. But then again maybe he invested heavily in Game Stop?

It will be interesting to see Polly have to defend the idea in front of the whole country when so many in in the CPC aren't buying.

you and yours in the commune are scared shitless of him
oh and you are arguing with yourself?

[chuckChuck]

So Case you are not a fan of crypto? So how your are your Game stop shares doing? LOL

Doesn't look like the hard core base is ready to defend Polly's crypto plan.

Apparently, by ignoring him and not feeding the troll, he still won't quit. Will just argue with himself.
Good entertainment.

Good idea. Makes you wonder why Chuck wastes his talents here at the children's table with an audience of one (himself) instead of joining us adults?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Why do you call him polly?
Most of us associate Polly with a parrot. A parrot who just repeats what he hears without any comprehension, or idea what he is saying.
From what I have seen, Polliviere seems to be a very effective and knowledgeable ad lib orator. Doesn't require cue cards, teleprompters and speech writers. Seems to have his own ideas and is able to debate with the best of them.
In fact I think our current prime minister could be very accurately described as a parrot named Polly. Opposite in almost every respect from Polliviere.
The description would also fit the poster who started this thread.

Polly has had some dubious ideas.
Easy to do with no responsibility.
When his list equals Turdbowl by 10% of, wake me up. Happy Easter, farming or not.

[chuckChuck]

The front runner in the CPC leadership race is advocating crypto currency to replace the dollar and trashing the independent Bank of Canada with no suggestion of how he would handle inflation.

And the usual suspects on agrisilly have almost nothing to say except blackpowder, who admits it's a stupid idea.

It's easy to complain about inflation. Its another thing altogether to have a credible plan to reign it in.

Polly is a career politician with little experience in the real world on par with Trudeau, is counting on the reality that many of his supporters only care about getting rid of Trudeau and the details of his bone head ideas are irrelevant.

Polly blames Trudeau for all the inflation but then goes on to criticize the Bank of Canada for raising interest rates. Huh? Maybe Steve Harper will have to explain to Polly how to fight inflation.

Charest won't win but he will force Polly to explain his monetary fantasies in public. Maybe Polly will put some freedom "truckers" in cabinet? Charest was correct that Polly is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Speaking of ‘career politicians’, since the age of 26, here is his WEF poster:

Joseph Bourgault would be my first choice for the job but will he get enough support ? has a lifetime of buisness experience and fully supports truth , justice and freedom , and is all against WEF , UN ,WHO and still believes the envoirnment needs to be protected but not by destroying the economy

Wow he sounds great.

From NationalPost:

Bourgault is also president and co-founder of Canadians for Truth, Freedom and Justice, an organization that claims that the pandemic is being used by “governments, who are controlled by globalists, to justify the so-called ‘great reset’ which we STRONGLY OPPOSE”.
