It's funny to watch the act though.


It would be if not for the fact that we have to pay for it.

Huh, must be all that ground work set up by the "deep state". You know, like Obama likes to take credit for in the US despite the fact he's not the president.

Unfortunately there are those in government who think they can control economic factors when, in fact, they cannot. There are too many variables.


All governments can do is tax, regulate and interfere in businesses and, based on this, investment from individuals and businesses will determine how these 3 factors will impact their decision-making. It is these businesses (mostly) and (some) individuals who have the discretionary funds to invest that will impact the economy for the good and/or bad. Other outside variables will also determine the outcomes which are beyond any government control. Governments who interfere with the market place do so at their own risk..


JMHO

Not really.

We still suffered from the 2008 crisis like everyone else.

We just couched it a bit, thanks to our banking regs.

Thanks Liberals.

So you're really saying that the gvt controls the economy then.

PS - I'm pretty sure that tater tot and/or the liberals weren't in power back then, so the thanks goes right to Harper I guess
