Liberals, doing their best to help the middle class by keeping wages down for big business!

As Immigrants Pour In, Wages Stagnate in Surging Canadian Economy
In the five years through 2020, about 1.9 million newcomers came to the country, up from 1.2 million the previous five years. The U.S., nine times the size of Canada, saw its net flow of immigration drop to about 3.8 million over that time, from 4.5 million.

The results are simultaneously terrific and problematic: Companies have been filling job postings at a breakneck clip, pushing payrolls back above pre-pandemic levels and allowing them to ramp output back up. But workers, with fewer labor shortages acting as leverage, are scoring tiny wage increases -- currently running at 2% on average -- that leave them poorer after inflation of almost 5% is factored in.

your linked article is behind a subscribers paywall!

but hey, other than relying upon immigration, what's your alternative to a worker shortage tied to an aging (retiring) workforce? As the waldo reads,
Quote
"Since 2008-09, an aging workforce has subtracted one million workers from the economy. And longer-run demographic forces will continue to weigh on labour force participation as waves of baby boomers reach typical retirement age... forecasts suggest that retirements will remove another 600,000 workers from the country’s available labour pool over the next three years.

the CPC/O'Toole dance continues! Covid related stats suggest legitimate vaccination exemptions total between 1-to-3 persons per a 100,000 populace... and those exemptions would, typically, be limited to those who are at risk of a severe allergic reaction or at an elevated risk of developing myocarditis (a rare heart condition).

since CPC/O'Toole continue to refuse to state the actual number of CPC MPs claiming/stating they hold a medical exemption, speculation continues - to as high as "more than 20+ CPC MPs who haven't received COVID vaccinations". State the number CPC/O'Toole; end the speculation! What are you waiting for... what are you afraid of?

Like the electorate we have crap to work with. It's like our governance is still in the coal-age when we need rechargeable-electric.

Citizen's assemblies...PR...drawing names from a hat.... I've resorted to throwing darts at a chart when fish get really scarce.

recently, led by moron-in-chief O'Toole, every time CPC MPs finished speaking in the HOC, they would finish with the word, "justinflation"! This 'word play' was, to them, such great fun, with lots of hooting and guffawing by the nattering Conservative members each time the word was uttered!

this moronic display was a culmination of the weeks long targeting of PM Trudeau by CPC/O'Toole and Finance Shadow Minister #PigeonPierre - with their repeated attempts to lay the blame for Canada's increased inflation rate on PM Trudeau and Liberal government policies/actions. Of course this nonsense was so easily dispatched by those experts from across the political spectrum, including prominent conservative pundits and the most profiled Canadian economists who stated the current inflation increase has almost nothing to do with the federal government’s policies. Notwithstanding current inflation is a global phenomenon, CPC/O'Toole & Poilievre would have Canadians believe PM Trudeau's reach and influence is, apparently, global in impacting upon and acting to create the same increased inflation rates found in the U.S., in Germany, in the UK, etc.!

of course the real causes of the current increased inflation reflect upon and are being driven by, in the near term, the pandemic and its impact on everything from oil and gas prices to supply chains. And, of course, one of the more prolific longer term drivers of inflation is climate change - something CPC/O'Toole wants nothing to do with in terms of acknowledging the threat and economic impacts of! More pointedly, the CPC/O'Toole & Poilievre are wanting to emphasize one of their key perceived reasons for increased inflation as one tied to Liberal government deficit pandemic spending in support of Canadians... certainly something that, according to #PigeonPierre, would never happen if Conservatives were 'in charge'! Who can forget this spanking Minister Freeland gave Poilievre in that very regard, where he outright stated:

Quote from: CPC Finance Shadow Minister, Pierre Poilievre
You may want to address COVID-19 with big fat government programs; we're conservatives, we don't believe in that!

Deputy Prime Minister Freeland reminds the CPC MP for Carleton, Pierre Poilievre, what he said when asked what support the government should offer to Canadians hurt by the pandemic:

seems 'Liberal twitter' (*snort*) has pushed back with a couple of countering, at times, trending hashtags: the waldo is quite partial to #ErinflationLie

Too bad gas and food cost so much thanks in part to the carbon tax that he hasn't paused because of pandemic inflation and of course he's done almost nothing to stop housing price explosions.  Trudeau says he cares about the middle class but he doesn't because he has no idea how they live since he's was raised as a silver-spooned prince who cares about the climate and gender issues far more than blue collar economic issues.

hey now 'Nipples', surely with such a direct, specific and targeted statement as you've made here, you MUST be able to speak to actual costs, to actual numbers - yes? While you're scrambling to answer this request, don't forget to include (as applicable) carbon tax rebates into the mix, hey! Sure you can, sure you can!

equally, with all the inflation talk emphasis on global pricing... global policies impacting upon gas prices, I'm sure you're able to delineate these global impacting costs from localized carbon tax impacts - yes? More pointedly, again with all the inflation talk emphasis on the pandemic (and climate change) affects to supply chains, I'm sure you're able to delineate these from localized carbon tax impacts - yes?

Diplomatic Boycott of China Olympics is ON.

Thoughts ?

Is this a signal of a change in direction overall ?
