Should we revise the Constitution to require the Prime Minister to hold an economics degree?
Let's include premiers in this too.
A simply true or false question should suffice.
"Do budgets balance themselves?"

I understand that you consider that the acme of intellectual achievement, but most of the world disagrees.
How do you figure that?I guess that means you were taught how to read by someone who can't read.

No one here is ever wrong.
Ever.
Except me.
I find it amazing that people who I thought had at least average intelligence are so dumb when it comes to basic logic. The statement "people who can't, teach", DOES NOT preclude people who CAN from teaching.![]()
I kind of thought Bones would have had enough brains to figure that out.

Sure, you can parse the logic of the statement to the point of making it a pointless thing to say. It also doesn't mean people who can't do something end up teaching it. It means all kinds of things. I can say "I didn't do nothing" and you can point to the double negative implying I did do something, but everyone knows the sentiment is that I did nothing. Insisting the double negative is just being obtuse.
"Those who can do and those who can't teach" is a sentiment that is anti-teacher. There's no need to be obtuse about it and pretend that technically it " DOES NOT preclude people who CAN from teaching."
It is called useful knowledge or life skills. I know all that is alien to you.
HEY! He's the junior partner in the law firm Cohen, Cohen, Cohen, Cohen & Bones!

EXPOSED: Canadian Banks CAUGHT Rigging Rates! - What You Need To Know
Several Canadian banks have been accused of rigging rates to boost profit. According a class action suit by a Colorado based pension fund, for seven years, 6 Canadian banks and three foreign lenders "conspired to manipulate a Canadian interest rate benchmark to boost “illegitimate profits” on derivatives trades for several years until 2014."
According to the suit, the banks attempted to boost earnings from derivatives trading by manipulating the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (CDOR) which is a benchmark lending rate.
The banks include, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and National Bank of Canada, as well as HSBC Holdings Plc, Bank of America Corp. and of course the one and only Deutsche Bank.
The banks held on average more than US$1 trillion in CDOR-based swap contracts with U.S. counterparties at the time.
One could ask why banks using people's loaned money are doing derivative trades, but more importantly, why are people using banks to a greater extent than necessary?
Deutsche Bank has been tied up in everything alongside HSBC and of course RBC and Scotia Bank are always up to no good. This looks a lot like what we saw with the Libor rigging some years ago.
These banks get away with what most would be thrown in jail for. The banks, hand in hand with government, benefit off of debt, subservience and ignorance which is why one needs to solve that problem individually by being financially responsible, rule and educate themselves.
These problems will continue to perpetuate until people learn. Responsibility is the hallmark of freedom and liberty after all.

That's what Cabinet ministers are for. Or at least they're supposed to be anyway. Of course when you start appointing people because of who/what they are instead of what they know and can bring to the position, then the whole thing becomes a pointless exercise.Should we revise the Constitution to require the Prime Minister to hold an economics degree?

He was certainly taught to think by someone who couldn't.
