LOL! It is relevant, because you are purposefully (or ignorantly) conflating price and value. Value is a concept, it's abstract (often) due to subjectivity. Whereas price, is what you pay. Simple example, I'm at the airport at 4:30 am for an early flight, there is a coffee shop, they sell me...

Yes, that's why fiscal changes (whether it be new spending or tax cuts) should be funded. That's what a deficit is, more money going out (i.e. requires borrowing) vs money coming in. If you are going to have less money coming in, you should fund that with spending cuts rather than pulling out...

Your figure of $16,899 (I assume) is what $20,000 2024 dollars would be worth in 2020 (using 2024 as a base year). What you are ignoring is that when you borrow $20,000 in 2020, you are buying some thing in 2020 that is worth $20,000. Moreover, borrowers, all borrowers pay back the face value...

About the same as everyone else that got a tax cut - again, the tax cuts were broad based where (pretty much) all federal personal tax bracket rates went down. And again, because some brackets were re-done, some individuals now have portions of their income taxed higher because of changes in...

US general elections are in Nov and the president-elect assumes office in the following January. You understand that right? Facetious question, clearly you don't understand that. Now, you can argue all you want about how long Covid lasted, but it is undeniable fact, that Trump was in fact US...

The so called "Trump tax cuts" were broad based. The only income group that didn't get a tax cut was those making $10k or less, that federal income tax rate stayed the same. Most tax bracket rates went down by 2-4% AND the brackets were re-done to lower thresholds, meaning in some cases, tax...

LOL! No, you don't completely agree. I stated citizens shoulder the burden (as demonstrated by our country's experience of the 90's). You seemed to believe (or are hoping) that the burden will be shouldered only by certain taxpayers, as you put it, "boomers".

Record breaking deficits are record breaking deficits - that you would imply "this guy's" record deficit is "bad" and "that guy's" record deficit is "good" is a foolish notion. What doesn't change is that those record deficits (and the increase in respective national debt) will be the burden of...

So, you're comparing Trump's total deficits to Trudeau's pandemic deficit, is that right? So, four year's of Trump deficits compared to 1 year of pandemic deficit for Trudeau? Wow, you're really cherry picking there! LOL Trump's pandemic deficit was $3.1 trillion dollars (based on US Federal...

I believe Carney is on the record that he wants an Ottawa seat, it's where he lives.

LOL! If you don't want to answer that's fine. Off topic drivel, now that's always unsatisfactory! LOL

It's not a question of whether your answer is "satisfactory". I'm genuinely trying to figure out if you actually know how government debt works. You previously stated... ...and that would seem to indicate you are under the impression that the BoC simply issues new physical currency to the...

If you don't want to answer, just say so. LOL

No. What, you can't answer my question? LOL

What a minute, do you actually believe that when the Govt of Canada needs money that the BoC just prints new currency?

So in your mind, providing an analogy is a character attack, is that right? What truly is idiotic, when certain folk that live in certain type of houses throw stones... You can dish it out, but you can't handle it being dished out to you, is that right??? LOL

Oh. So this is your "nuanced Keynesian approach" you referenced back in the day to deal with national debt? Have the BoC literally issue new physical currency to extinguish the debt? And that mass devaluation of CAD, in your expert "nuanced Keynesian" opinion would be simply a "short term...

What character attack? LOL If someone keeps saying "wow, it's really snowing out there today" and it is NOT. The only response necessary is to say that it is not in fact snowing. So, if someone makes that erroneous claim, of course, I would repeat that it is in fact not snowing! LOL LOL...

That simply means Chretien/Martin have a better fiscal record, NOT all Liberals. This is silly logic. It assumes that growth in economy (GDP growing) means deficits should grow as well (so long as both rates of growth are similar). That is nonsensical thinking. I don't need to take on more...

You don't make a compelling argument. You're simply presenting your reinforcing opinion as to the existence of some "secret agenda." The PPC is no longer "dangerous" to the CPC, the polling indicates as such AND their own fundraising amounts indicates as such. At this point, the PPC exists to...
