But you would prefer the elitist career politician Pierre Polievre who thinks crypto currencies are a good investment? LOL

As bad a Trudeau is, Crypto Polly is even more pf a dud.

What the crypto crash says about Pierre Poilievre’s judgment

Gary Mason
National affairs columnist

"The presumptive favourite to win the CPC leadership has been much quieter about cryptocurrency these days. I wonder why?

Perhaps it’s because the crypto world is imploding, just as Warren Buffett and his partner, Charlie Munger, had suggested it might. Two of the history’s greatest and most profitable investors have been down on bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry almost from its inception. Mr. Buffett famously said he wouldn’t pay US$25 for all the bitcoin in the world. Mr. Munger was even more condemning, saying that in his life he tried to avoid doing anything that was evil, stupid and made him look bad in comparison to others: “Bitcoin does all three,” he said.

The paranoid style in Conservative politics has deep roots

Pierre Poilievre’s good fortune: His supporters don’t see his hypocrisy

This week, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said cryptocurrency was based on the “greater fool theory.” This is the notion that investors can make money on something relatively worthless, as long as there are people willing to bid higher for it.

Recent crypto losses have been estimated to total as much as US$1.5-trillion. The value of Bitcoin continued to tumble this week, with trading down as much as 8 per cent to around $20,000. In November, it was trading at almost $65,000. The total value of the cryptocurrency market has dropped by 65 per cent since last fall, and many analysts believe the floor underneath it is still collapsing.

One concern amid all this is the possibility that many Canadians bought what Mr. Poilievre was selling earlier this spring. And why would that be a stretch? The man, after all, is “running to be prime minister.” Surely, he wouldn’t recklessly promote something that was inherently risky.

Story continues below advertisement

I understand the allure Mr. Poilievre holds to many disenfranchised people out there, with his spectacular promises to get rid of the so-called “gatekeepers” allegedly ruining the lives of so many. Gatekeepers such as the Bank of Canada, which Mr. Poilievre regularly trashes. But the same gatekeeper, it turns out, did issue cautions about this very situation.

Who looks stupid now, Mr. Poilievre?"

Agree the crypto thing is stupid but compare apples to apples our pm is a career politician and before that a rich playboy riding on pappies and grandpas coattails. Really though if this is all you have on Polivierre to criticize him for the argument to discredit him is further becoming moot when compared to the pm’s conduct.

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.

but charging a stupid f u c k en carbon tax on everyone including the poorest, and everything over and over and over and then charge GST on it ???? are you that simple ?

Where’s the logic? The government has killed the fossil-fuel industry, replaced gas and diesel with ethanol and bio diesel so guess what——— fuel supply tightens and fuel sky-rockets and grain supplies are depleted and food costs follow. Surprise-Surprise, but it’s not the government’s fault. BS Not to mention that these same dufus governments have increased the money supply exponentially and have giving away free money like drunken sailors but oh no - not our fault.

It’s 100 % their fault.

yep it makes you wonder if they are indeed insane

There is only one cause of inflation and thats your govt and central bank egg heads merged with the covid zero net zero fanatics.

Freeland launched a new campaign to fight inflation with...you guessed it, more inflation. 9B dollars.

Maybe you missed the hundreds of millions Trudeau gave away to other nations this week.

This is what the world would be like if we ever let these fools try to bring in that climate bullshit.

So Putin's invasion of Ukraine has had no impact on world energy supplies?

There are multiple cause to inflation and of course the die hard rightwingers want to blame it all one one cause. Pure politics or as some would say bullshit.

But Crypto Polly will fix it with bitcoin! LOL He's your man for sure.

There are always multiple causes for high world energy prices but is the question not what is our current administration doing to make sure our country makes full advantage of our opertunity?
What is our greenpeace activist minister doing to facilitate our obvious opertunity to fill the short and long term demand with our abundant reserves.
What is the message to an industry that operates world wide when we have a geenpeace activist and a PM that are virtue signaling gatekeepers with clearly stated goals of killing that industry?

Some nations understand the meaning of sovereignty. Always keenly aware of their abilities to maintain it.
The differences between those who do and do not will become ever more apparent.
We have become the traitors we elect.
Current policy writers have been laughable and nonsensical for some time. The rate of ridiculous is accelerating as they compound.
Even though we are still very lucky to live here, apathy and contempt are all I have left when looking at political horizons.
Teach your children well.

Most of the western world's leaders agreed that the way to cripple Putin's economy was to shut down his pipelines.

Biden and Mr Trudeau are all in on shutting down pipelines.

It is hoped to cripple Putin but here it will improve our quality of life?

Then how do you explain why the Liberals purchased TMX for expansion? Doesnt sound like they were planning to shut it down does it since it is still under construction?

The pipeline situation has changed significantly for the better with more capacity.

The oil industry is busy, but they cant find enough workers because a lot of them got tired of the boom and bust and have chosen other more stable careers. Its hardly an industry that has been shut down is it, if they are short of workers?

They are making near record profits with high stock values on an industry that is shut down?

Better tell Jazz because he sold all his polly bitcoin at a massive loss and bought oil shares and the industry is about to be shut down?

Again the excuses and partisan exaggerations just keep a coming from those who often can't tell the truth from lies.
