Here is an article providing us with the LATEST LIE-beral EXCUSES for why our booming economy is not what it seems!! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Trade shock, harsh winter and Doug Ford blamed for pausing the Canadian economy.
By Don Pittis
Published: April 25, 2019
The destructive impact of climate change could soon be large enough to throw the national economy into recession, or spark the next financial crisis.
(Oh yes- LIE-berals much prefer to discuss POSSIBLE FUTURE issues rather than current hard facts!! Such as the tens of billions in LOST revenue from LIE-berals deliberately blocking the sale of Alberta oil to a world that would rather purchase from friendly Cdns rather than from nasty Russians and Iranians who will only use THEIR oil revenue to buy GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Exporting more Alberta oil DOES NOT mean an increase in pollution- it simply enables people to buy from less violent militant sources!! Selling Cdn oil promotes peace by cutting the Russian and Iranian military budgets!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And how sad there are a LOT of people who are hoping that Russians or Iranians or North Koreans will hurt the west!! Anti Yankee and anti western sentiment is STRONG for many of our new immigrants!! Hey come for our money and NOT for our values!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Opinion: How climate change could trigger the next financial crisis.
(Why don’t LIE-berals wish to discuss the KNOWN REALITY of how much it HURTS to hit the debt wall?? We all recall how LIE-beral Chretien hit the debt wall and downloaded all sorts of costs onto the provinces!! We KNOW that our lakes and rivers are filling up with sewage because LIE-berals REFUSE to waste “their” gravy on new treatment plants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
1 in 10 first-time homebuyers in Canada expect a $100,000 gift…
(Yes- such a wonderful gift- that comes with the usual LIE-beral STRINGS that render the gift all but inaccessible to most!! A thing that cannot be used is NOT A GIFT!! It is merely the usual LIE-beral BAIT AND SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Battles over trade have hurt economies around the world as uncertainty leads businesses to delay new investment.
(And 40 percent of all Cdns live in the most deeply indebted sub national entity on the planet- also known as Ontari-owe!! We are being CRIPPLED by LIE-beral greed and costly vote buying!! Business uncertainty is based on how likely it is that debt crippled tax payers LACK the capacity to support any new business initiatives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals have decided it is easier to blame outside forces and influences for problems CREATED IN CANADA!! LIE-berals follow faithfully in the foot steps of Soviet Socialist propaganda meisters!! The proper Socialist KNOWS that Socialism NEVER FAILS- it is only betrayed by outsiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It is for this reason that Socialist nitwit NDPer Bob Rae could double the Ontari-owe debt- and then BLAME BANKERS for not letting him borrow the money he needed to make us rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It is for the same reason- that infallible Socialist dogma that permits Our idiot Boy Justin to impose a bigger and more costly version of the Bob Rae madness- and then tell us that the economy is having difficulties because we have not fully embraced the LIE-beral mouldy green economy- that is actually GENERATING most of the problems we face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals think we are displaying “RACIST” tendencies if we discuss economic numbers from places like Spain - once a world leader in Green Projects- that are now in disgrace!! Spanish economists claim that for every costly subsidized green job that is created- 2.5 ordinary jobs are DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!)
(LIE-berals see nothing wrong with using their Human Rights Kangaroo Courts to SILENCE any critic of any LIE-beral policy!! And they think it is suitable for our CBC/Communist Broadcasting Corp to use a twisted and distorted definition of “fair use policy” to CENSOR political views LIE-berals do not want to hear!!!!!!!)
When the Bank of Canada released the text of its latest report yesterday, the loonie fell off a cliff — and no wonder.
Interest rates were unchanged, but more important, governor Stephen Poloz had downgraded growth from 1.7 per cent to 1.2 per cent. Exports were down. So was investment. The housing bounce back was delayed.
(Investors around the world have studied the Cdn LIE-beral tax ponzi scheme in detail - and do NOT LIKE where we are heading financially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
But an odd thing happened. Once Poloz began to talk to reporters, the Canadian dollar began to recover.
(The stock market has all the charm and grace of an skilled GRIFTER running a Three Card Monte game against Shills and gullible Rubes who have never heard the words “Grifter” or “con artist”!!!!!!!
While all those negative economic indicators were true, Canada's chief central banker and his senior deputy, Carolyn Wilkins, began to paint a more subtle and much more positive picture.
(Oh yes- LIE-beral propaganda will smooth troubled waters and make life easier- FOR LIE-berals!! Too bad reality is getting ready to BITE LIE-beral ASSES!!!!!!)
For indebted Canadians hoping for an endless holiday from higher borrowing costs, the news was both good and bad.
(Most Cdns - of all ages are more worried about the HUGE inflation generating capacity of the carbon crap and trade SCAM!! Interest rate hikes are an occasional thing- bit carbon crap is set for YEARLY INCREASES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"If our forecast is right, which I firmly believe it is, what that means is interest rates are more likely to go up than down," said Poloz.
(Poloz gets PAID TO BE RIGHT!! He THINKS interest rate may go up- but HE KNOWS carbon crap costs WILL go up!!!!! And he will continue to think he is right- up until LIE-berals lose an election- at which point he will be wrong- but nobody will care because he will be FIRED and gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Of course, the more subtle story told by the central bankers was not universally good.
(NO!! We are currently exploring hitherto un-imagined levels of debt and insolvency!! The last time our infrastructure was in such a parlous state was...........
NEVER!! Never before have we let so much of the machinery we depend on for our lives reach such a rotten state!! LIE-berals have neglected everything for so long that we now need EMERGENCY REPAIRS to pretty much everything from the roof over our head to the pipes that drain our sewage!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Doug Ford tells Ontario teachers to ‘get with the times’.
(Ford is well aware of the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS worth of pension PROMISES that LIE-berals issued to our civil service union HOGS in exchange for their votes! Too bad we do not have the money and cannot pay the HOGS as INSANE LIE-berals promised! Wynne-bag LIE-berals tried to gouge the money from us with electricity costs and carbon crap SCAMS- and it got them thrown out of office!! The pension demands made by HOGS will NOT FLY with ordinary Cdns and Ford KNOWS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The predominant reason for their lowered expectations for the economy since the last report in January was what the bank called a "shock" caused by a sharp increase in uncertainty over trade at the end of last year, which has played a malicious trick on the global economy.
(In related news- international bankers and bond rating services made it CLEAR - in early 2018 - that if Ontari-owe elected another Wynne-bag LIE-beral govt then we would hit the debt wall and be PUNISHED for our LIE-beral waste and stupidity!! The election of Ford SAVED US from the debt wall and teachers find it OFFENSIVE to have to admit this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Trade battles between the U.S. and China, the U.S. and Europe and the U.S. and Canada knocked the stuffing out of not just global trade, but new business investment. And the effects go far beyond Canada.
(Canada is a branch plant economy as a result of LIE-berals throwing money at international corporations to build branch plants here- too bad the gravy has run out and so have the jobs!! The closing of General Motors Oshawa plant - whose workers set records for highest quality work -illustrates the problem!! People doing great work are getting FIRED for POLITICAL REASONS!!!!!!!)
(And as GM slunk away- Our idiot Boy Justin WROTE OFF $2.8 billion dollars in UNCOLLECTIBLE LOANS to GM and Chrysler!! And that BILLION DOLLAR LIE-beral GRANT to Bombardier is looking really STUPID now that Bombardier is selling assets in a desperate bid to stay allive- even as it continues to SCREW Toronto Transit over the street car MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"Forty-seven countries have experienced a slowdown very similar to our own," Poloz told reporters. "That's not a coincidence. That's 47 countries that rely on international trade in order to do business."
(YES!! Forty seven countries have the SAME IDIOT LIE-beral business model and thus they all have the same economic problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Ontario Premier Doug Ford's recent budget also contributed to the bank's lower outlook. While fiscal spending in Quebec, B.C. and at the federal level were all higher, a cut in projected government spending in Canada's most populated province was enough to offset all the others and more.
(Ah yes the classic LIE-beral SELECTIVE VISION!! Debt is crippling us and we cannot keep borrowing money! And yet we cannot keep our civil service HOGS at the shopping malls and restaurants and international resorts unless we KEEP ON BORROWING MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Another drag on the economy, said Poloz, was the energy sector, still struggling from low prices and poor market access. The exceptional frigid and stormy weather across most of the country also delayed exports, retail spending and other economic activity.
(Gosh- the energy sector is struggling? Would that be in part because LIE-berals are REFUSING to let Alberta export any oil to either the east or west coasts? How can you sell a product if you refuse to send it to market?? And then add in the $4.7 billion dollars that LIE-berals BORROWED so they could buy out the Kinder Morgan pipeline and kill it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
But as Poloz and his group of advisers studied the gloomy data they had assembled, they were skeptical that it was really as bad as it seemed.
A half-million vacant jobs.
(Yes- to bad LIE-berals do not consider that many of those jobs are merely “fishing expeditions” by employers seeking to find out if they really have to give their employees pay raises!! Put out an ad with crap pay and lousy hours and see who responds!! If somebody desperate and with good skills applies then the boss can hire the desperate worker and FIRE a higher paid worker!! Such a policy is NOT job creation - it is job DESTRUCTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Despite an interruption in employment growth last month, there are other indicators that the economy is still hungry for workers. Wage growth outside the energy-producing provinces continues to rise at rates well above inflation.
(Yes the economy is hungry for SKILLED WORKERS who will be paid as if they were unskilled peasants! The contrast between what it costs to become skilled and what people can pay for skills and products is growing ever wider thanks to LIE-berals and the student debts our kids carry are crippling!! The cost of an education is so high- and the wages on offer are so low that many kids end up bankrupt or living with parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And older workers who would benefit from retraining have the same problem!! The classic example is the $100 million dollars in re-training funds offered by LIE-beral McGinty to auto workers- but only 5 percent of the money was ever used- thanks to the insane red tape it was tied up in!! LIE-berals have PERFECTED the art of bait and switch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
On housing, the unwinding of overcharged markets in Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto is big enough to show up in the national statistics, though in most other cities, the real estate market remains healthy.
(And LIE-berals are picking the pockets of older people by meddling with the housing market!! A lot of older folks often MUST SELL as they cannot afford to keep living where they are! Consider all the GM workers with mortgages who will be selling out soon unless GM rehires them!! Or consider all the folks on fixed incomes who are scrambling to find a cheaper place to live as LIE-beral meddling erodes incomes while living expenses SOAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Poloz expects what he calls the "froth" to come out of those two markets as soon as this spring, as Canada's expanding population puts the housing market back on track.
On the carbon-pricing front, the new charge will have a small effect on inflation this year: about a tenth of a percentage point that will drop by half next year. The bank's calculations show the effect on economic growth will be negligible because the rebates mean the money will still be spent — just on different things.
(Yes- as an example- food companies will swallow much of the increased shipping cost- and that translates into FROZEN WAGES for workers as living costs RISE!! And there will be reduced corporate dividends to stock holders thanks to reduced corporate profits- putting MORE PRESSURE on those with fixed incomes!!!!!!!)
While the damage to the fossil fuel-based energy sector due to reduced investment and poor transportation links will continue to bite energy-producing provinces, the recent sharp increase in oil prices mean things will be much better than they were.
(But- LIE-berals invested $4.7 BILLION DOLLARS into the energy sector when they purchased that pipeline? Are LIE-berals telling us the money was WASTED?? And how do “poor transportation links” relate to LIE-beral refusal to allow Alberta to export oil??????????????????????)
And, of course, winter is finally over.
(Yes- over till next year! What excuse will LIE-berals offer when it comes back?)
All that does not mean the Canadian or global economy is entirely out of the woods. Failure to resolve trade disputes could mean the downturn would continue to inflict pain. On the other hand, a successful resolution of trade disputes could cause the opposite effect: that strange central banking concept of "the upside risk."
(There will be NO resolution to trade disputes until we deal with national security problems that LIE-berals are deliberately making! And until we deal with crippling debt that LIE-berals consider NECESSARY for buying votes so they can cling to power at any price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
But barring further shocks, Poloz said the Canadian economy would not just recover soon, but is recovering now: The depths of the economic dip were the last three months of 2018 and the first three months of this year.
(Yes- Poloz woudl like us to BELIEVE that as we run up to the October election that will make or break Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"We're into the positive frame already," he said.
The slower pace of rate hikes by central banks around the world have already had their effect, raising stock markets and commodity prices.
(Oh that`s wonderful! Lower rates mean people on fixed incomes will be hard pressed by LIE-beral carbon crap and trade SCAMS!! Fixed incomes and soaring living costs generate large numbers of ANTI LIE-beral voters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(And higher commodity prices generate even more inflation that hurts ordinary people who DO NOT get to ride the govt gravy train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"Right now, we believe that this setting of interest rates will give the outlook," said Poloz. "Growth picks up in the second quarter and picks up for real in the third quarter."
(Yeah- cover YOUR ASS and the hell with others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
But like the rest of us, the experts at the Bank of Canada will be watching the economic statistics as they roll in to see if their wishes have come true.
(Uh huh- LIE-berals are praying for a Fairy God Mother to save them from voter WRATH!!)
(What it comes down to is that LIE-berals DON’T HAVE A CLUE.......
Other than to TELL LIES AND HALF TRUTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
