Socialism now the only hope
it must rankle the righties


Yeah, all those private companies pumping out PPE's and ventilators are government owned and operated. Companies that pay tax and employ people that pay tax to fill the governments bank account (or at least should) so they can prop up the economy when needed. It's a symbiotic relationship.

lol Yeah right. No government is out to protect citizens, that I can think of.
For instance, gov'ts don't care about as how bad (C↓8HF↓150↓2) perfluorooctanoic acid is (even at concentrations as low as 1 part in a billion) for human health and the governments have known about it for at least 50 years a nd yet gov'ts allow people to cook with it and let people's babies crawl around on carpets covered with it. It's what most people call teflon.
The only people that protect us is us.
Well really , who but you is most responsible for your safety . If you don’t like Teflon Don buy it .

Ultimately, we are responsible for our own safety, but it doesn't help when gov't allows companies to deliberately harm us. DUH
If government expected everyone to do their own research into what harms humans, why bother having departments such as Canada Health, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, product safety units, etc.?

Just think of the money we'd save not having those. And how nice it would be to have people killing and maiming themselves through ignorance.

haha Jealous again, huh?




Oh dear me - you did not READ THE FULL POST- and thus did not see the part about your LACK OF INSIGHT!


That translates into "YOU have nothing I would be jealous of"!


In other news - consider the latest LIE-beral political CRAP::


Here is an article illustrating the tax and spend madness of LIE-berals and it also reveals that LIE-beral aid ALWAYS comes with NASTY strings attached! With some comments of my own in brackets):

Trudeau refuses to say if planned carbon tax increase still a go amid coronavirus

By Amanda Connolly Global News

Pubished March 27, 2020

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is refusing to say whether the planned increase to the carbon tax next week will still happen even as workers and businesses grapple with the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

(LIE-berals claim they want to help us in these troubled times - too bad they ONLY want to help in ways that suit them - and they want BIG CHEERS for SMALL effort! LIE-berals prefer creating a big bureaucracy to hand out money instead of simply NOT BOTHERING to pick our pockets with their carbon SCAM!)

Journalists who attended the prime minister's daily briefing on the coronavirus from Rideau Cottage asked him whether that increase will be put on pause or still go ahead.

"We know that it is important that we put more money in the pockets of Canadians at this point when they're stressed," he said in response.

"Our plan on pricing pollution puts more money upfront into people's pockets than they would pay with the new price on pollution. We're going to continue to focus on putting more money in people's pockets to support them right across the country."

(This is LIE-beral speak meaning “none of your damned business”!)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020.

(Yes - simply cancelling a tax hit does NOT give LIE-berals the prominent public attention and respect that they believe a web site offering free money will bring them!)

A reporter pushed back: "So yes or no? On carbon tax, will it go out next week?

Trudeau again dodged the question and refused to give a clear answer.

"We continue to make sure that people have more money in their pockets because that is how we designed the price on pollution."

(So - decipher the LIE-beral speak and the answer is yes- the tax hit is COMING as planned! LIE-berals and their idiot cousins are working HARD to turn a temporary govt aid and grant system over into a guaranteed income for life program and they KNOW they will need huge gobs of gravy if the “giveaway” is to endure and TO BUY VOTES for LIE-berals so their minority govt can survive! LIE-berals ARE NOT bothered by Wuhan Virus nearly as much as they are by impending Non Confidence vote that will END their political careers once the Pestilence is beaten!)

(In the most recent news - Trudope has been badgered into getting off the double speak fence and ADMITTING the carbon SCAM price will increase as planned! And Our idiot Boy has also let it be known that his MP`s will be getting their annual PAY RAISE as usual!)

(This is why LIE-berals attempted to paralyse and CLOSE our Parliament until December 2021 - and to implement whatever tax and spend rules they chose - WITHOUT any parliamentary oversight by opposition parties - in order to stave off the LIE-beral political demise just like the common third world style dictators they truly are!)

The carbon tax is scheduled to increase from $20 per tonne to $30 per tonne on April 1.

For consumers, that translates to roughly an extra 2.5 cents per litre of gasoline at the pumps.

(LIE-berals are COMMITTED to killing the entire Cdn oil patch regardless of what it does to Alberta or to the entire Cdn economy! LIE-berals are like small children who have closed their eys to economic reality - meaning we WILL NEED EVERY PENNY of oil revenue we can get in order to pay back LIE-beral DEBTS!)

Earlier in the week, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association put out a statement urging the federal government to cancel the scheduled increase, citing strains on household expenses.

“The Canadian economy is facing a serious challenge. Adding a 50 per cent increase in the carbon tax is a further hit to grain farmers’ bottom line and Canadian consumers’ food bills. Now is not the time to be to be adding to our household expenses,” said Gunter Jochum, president of the farm advocacy group.

(Ah - but LIE-berals LOVE inflation - as it gives them an EXCUSE to give out new gobs of gravy to their civil service union HOG pals and other allies! After all loyal LIE-berals deserve a wage that “keeps up with inflation” - just do not ask WHY LIE-berals are so determined to CREATE INFLATION in the first place! And of course - LIE-berals get to pay old debts with carefully DEVALUED NEW dollars - while holding down interest rates and screwing investors on the value of their interest payments! Our savings are DEVALUED as investment interest rates are SET BELOW the “real” rate of inflation!)

(We have only to look at Ontari-owe LIE-berals pushing the price of electricity SKY HIGH to see the LIE-beral rate of inflation! Or consider residential property taxes that are 4.9% percent this year - meaning they are THREE HUNDRED PERCENT OR MORE above the interest rate your bank pays on savings! R consider the multi year SERIES of 9% water and sewer rate increases - followed by several years of 4% - 5% rate increases! Or consider your auto insurance bill that has only increased 10% - 20% thanks to Wynne-bag LIE-beral meddling that saw the benefits available for the victim of a serious accident CUT by FIFTY percent!)

(Ontari-owe drivers have the lowest accident rates in the country and thanks to LIE-berals we also pay the HIGHEST RATES and get the most CRAPPY BENEFITS! In true LIE-beral INSANITY - Wynne-bag LIE-berals tell us we pay those sky high rates because there is so much insurance fraud in Ontari-owe! While at the same time LIE-berals INSIST that crime rates are down and we do not need more cops!)

(In related madness - LIE-berals tell is illegals and other LIE-beral selected charity cases are good for our economy - but LIE-berals leave the room when cops start talking about organized crime rings using immigrants to “stage” accidents and then use immigrant doctors to justify major payouts for “whiplash” and other hard to prove injuries!)

(In a similar vein - LIE-berals DO NOT wish to discuss the 4 Afghan brothers who were allowed into Canada as landed immigrants and 3 brothers set up an auto wrecking and brother #4 set up an auto repair shop and they offered a UNIQUE service to Muslims ONLY! If the Muslim had a lemon car - the brothers would arrange for it to be “stolen” and to make it disappear into their wrecking yard - but not before any usable parts were stripped off and resold AS NEW - in the 4th brothers auto repair shop! The 4 brothers were eventually arrested and convicted of over 1400 charges!)

“Our focus should be on the health and economic well-being of all Canadians.”

(As I have noted before - LIE-berals do not believe that people who oppose them politically should be entitled to claim Cdn citizen status - thus LIE-berals ONLY concern themselves with the welfare of HOGS and other such supporters!)

The coronavirus pandemic has roiled stock markets and small businesses over recent months as social distancing and border shutdowns hit supply chains and shrink consumer demands.

(I have predicted that it will take at least 12 -18 months before we put this mess behind us and can stop worrying about becoming infected - sadly it will take VERY MUCH LONGER to recover financially!)

Sectors like retail, tourism and the airline industry are feeling the brunt of the impact, with hundreds of thousands of layoffs reported across industries.

Trudeau said last week that more than 500,000 people have so far applied for Employment Insurance under the loosened eligibility criteria rolled out as part of the government's $107-billion coronavirus support package.

(I had predicted that the Trudope govt would survive until spring 2021 at which point they would fail to get support for their spring budget - and I see no reason not to stay with that prediction! Fortunately the opposition parties forced Trudope to erase his shameless power grab clauses that would have seen him entitled to completely shut down our Parliament and given him DICTATOR POWERS to tax and spend without any limit or oversight until December 2021 - NO CDN govt HAS EVER SOUGHT SUCH COMPLETE POWERS before in our history!)

(Even when Pierre Trudope used the War Measures Act during the FLQ Crisis - the opposition parties were KEPT FULLY INFORMED!)

(The sooner Justin Trudope and his cabal of Soviet Socialist cronies is forced out of office - the better for ALL CDNS!)

Interesting thing about inflation and liberal math. Papa TrudOWE believed that inflation would help pay off his prolific borrow and squander program. The theory is that today's dollar is only ten cents a few years down the road so in ten years a dollar will pay off at least $10 of today's debt.

Oh dear - your post is correct as far as it goes - Our NASTY Pet did get away with paying off debts with devalued dollars!


For a time - in the same fashion as LIE-beral govts in other places - but it all led to interest rates hitting TWENTY ONE PERCENT as investors began demanding REAL returns on their dollars!



Later on - LIE-berals came up with the ENTIRELY DECEITFUL IDEA to regulate interest rates allegedly to CONTROL inflation!



But LIE-berals DO NOT wish to tell us how low interest rates "REGULATE" the amount of gravy they give to



our civil service union HOGS! LIE-berals REFUSE to talk to people who ask such questions!



Low interest rates DO make it easier for LIE-berals to pay off their debts BUT - those low interest rates



ALSO MAKE IT EASIER for LIE-berals to BORROW gravy to give to HOGS and BUY their votes!


With all that gravy being granted to HOGS - it means that a HUGE CHUNK of borrowed capitol is chasing a small number of GOOD



INVESTMENTS - meaning HOGS are grabbing up all the best deals and leaving ordinary people with the CRUMBS!


Just recall that if you have $5 grand to invest - banks give you one rate


but if you have a million dollars to invest you GET A BETTER RATE from your bank!


Or - if you have $500 million to invest then banks fawn over you and put you into their MOST PREFERRED investment pool!


All of this HELPS HOGS GRAB GRAVY - but there DOES NOT seem to be anything in it to control inflation!


Perhaps some LIE-beral will volunteer to explain how inflation is limited by easy credit?
