@theScore @ScottCampsall

there are two provincial ndp premiers there is one provincial liberal premier

there are a lot of people who need to tell you the ndp doesn't matter it's really important you know they don't matter

@BlaineBadiuk yah, but where is the private investment? why do taxpayers have to cover it all this time? john a didn't do it like this

I wish Pierre would actually learn something from John A. Macdonald. It was Canada's first PM who had the vision of a national railroad to unify the country. Conservatives used to believe in building big things. Now the leader is a NIMBY.

government run grocery stores mean affordable groceries for everyone not just the people who the liberals pick to get a discount #cdnpoli

@IRPlawyer i bet you could rockford off that ferry

Reading comprehension is at an all-time low. I write that my worst ferry fear is having to reverse off the ferry and my comments are filled with people saying I shouldn’t be allowed to drive because I can’t reverse. When did I say I can’t?

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor start here bankofcanada.ca/2025/02/unders…

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor You might be thinking of low or no interest or forgivable loans. But I don’t think that happened for banks in Canada. They weren’t at risk of failure

10 years ago, Canadians would have laughed at the idea of government-run grocery stores. Today, we’re seeing op-eds now trying to convince Canadians why it’s not a good idea. The fact that some need convincing is incredibly troubling.

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor Exmple of a financial asset that is not a bond: the royal bank of canada has been hawking condos out of the bank in victoria bc since the pandemic taxpayers bought those projects and the bank took over selling them standing in line you see the posters all over the bank

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor If they are public traded shares they are disclosed. Even in US details were disclosed

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor bonds are a type of financial asset but it ain't all of them show me the money

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor Incorrect It’s bonds The government can’t buy equity positions in companies without it being known. There are laws for trades of shares and bonds. Disclosure is required

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor please don't act like you know what they bought canadians are not allowed to see that all we know is that taxpayers buy assets from financial institutions and a rough amount that is part of the whole scam and you can't brush over it with "typically" this never happened before

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor Typically that’s Canada bonds they are buying. That’s how Canadian banks operate and set interest rates. You’re thinking of bail outs to individual companies (GM, and in US some of the investment banks that got in trouble with mortgage backed securities). QE is about credit

quantitative easing is taxpayers buying assets from financial institutions tell us again about affordable groceries being socialism #cdnpoli

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor quantitative easing is taxpayers buying assets from financial institutions

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor Buying what investments? Canada didn’t have the mortgage backed securities that the US banks did. That’s why no banks failed or needed bail outs. The USA example is totally different friend. Different banking laws. Canada has the strongest banking system in the world

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor it is taxpayers buying bad investments the bank can't cover conservatives refused to use quantitative easing during the great recession because it was deemed unfair to commoners. this was the first time used in canada

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor Some types of Investing by the banks is what is prohibited. QE is not a bailout. It’s the BOC buying back bonds they sold. It’s to free up credit for businesses and individuals not to cover losses of banks in Canada

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor quantitative easing is not prohibited they used it

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor Canadian banks were not bailed out. They are prohibited from the investment vehicles that US banks got in trouble with

@VideoGuy67 @nationalpost it does looks that way that is one of the challenges the ndp faces they didn't see themselves in the last leader.

@bcpoli @nationalpost The NDP was founded to represent the common worker. As we can see from the convention, today’s NDP represent virtue signallers with “luxury beliefs”.

Fewer than one-third of Canadians think Lewis's NDP is 'relevant,' poll finds nationalpost.com/news/canada/fe…

@Stellartonian @FoodProfessor quantitative easing was taxpayers bailing out banks for massive losses why bail out banks and rich people but not people who eat?

@bcpoli @FoodProfessor That makes no sense.

believe it or not this will shake the liberals... two massive wedges between liberals and the ndp: affordable groceries for everyone supporting the usa invasion of iran mark carney can't shake iran war support but watch for a better grocery plan from liberals #cdnpoli

ndp not supporting war as well as a brand new plan to make groceries affordable for everyone should be considered a major threat in an election avi has many challenges but he his not crippled #cdnpoli

question: prime minister, do you admire china? prime minister: look. i have admiration for countries around the world the chance of my admiration rises in china #cdnpoli

let's all act surprised that a liberal prime minster favours china fresh slate is a fresh slate. and that means not being allowed to remember things that are blatantly obvious #cdnpoli

.@bcpoli: to you straight government run grocery stores and canadian socialism the hypocrisy of the ruling class is simply too much to bear
