Now the NDP are pretending to be concerned about inflation……… absolute hypocrisy in plain sight

So who isn't concerned about rising costs of everything?

The Cons want to lower gas taxes for everyone rich or poor whether they need it nor not. But many of the lowest income people don't own a car or even drive. So how would they benefit?

The NDP wants to target income support to the the lowest income Canadians which need help making ends meet for rent and food and other basics.

The Cons only care about winning more votes with their cut the gas tax offering. Their policy would do nothing to help the poorest Canadians.

But they obviously don't care about supporting the most vulnerable with an ineffective and more expensive policy.

High cost of fuel will and is driving the cost of everything higher, yes even food, we really need an eye roll emoji!

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. It comes from too much money printing - MMT. Justin printed up $650B and sloppy Joe printed up another 10T in the past 2 yrs.

To reign in inflation, they will have to pull back the liquidity and to do that will sacrifice the housing market, the stock market and labor markets.

Reap what you sow. And voters too dumb to figure it out. Zero sympathy, I hope they enjoy it.

There are multiple causes of inflation. Energy prices are one of the biggest drivers right now.

But cutting gas taxes doesn't make sense when trying to support the poorest Canadians many of whom don't drive.

Cutting gas taxes will get you more votes and that is why it appeals to Conservatives not because they want to help those who really need help.

so what do you think shud be done to help the people that are having a hard time paying their bills ?at least the cons are trying to do somthing

[jazz]

On the contrary chuck, I think taxes on fuel should go up much more including a big jump in carbon taxes to $50,000 a ton.

I am so worried about climate change. Trudeau said its a big problem and I follow what he and the science says.

And Liberals never buy votes!

Where have we heard this argument before? Multiple causes?

I remember now. That is the excuse he provides for why electricity costs always go up when unreliable energy is added.
