One can manipulate numbers anyway they want but the economy is NOT as great as governments are making it sound. I know, I know, Notley's government anyway is saying that Alberta is finally turning the corner but what corner, I'm not sure. There are still thousands of unemployed (under employed) people out there wondering what the heck they're going to do next. Its great to spew platitudes but it's something else to actually do something. Our politicians are great for the former and suck at the latter.


JMHO





Um, I think you mean the US 'cuz it ain't happening here!! You know numbers, manipulation, etc. etc....???


BTW the hike in wages is the increase in minimum wages don't 'cha know!! Silly guy...

"the industry with the majority of minimum-wage earners – accommodation and food services – continued to add jobs for the second consecutive month."

I thought they were going to lose jobs because of the hike in min wage?

trudOWE is Prime Minister, not President.



No, you gave us partisan spin. Not the same thing.



Gas alone has increased over 20% in the last year.

Nonsense
Nonsense
Not proportionally related to inflation

Conbots like debt now so it doesn't matter.
