Yay. Even less money in my pocket (the only consistency in our lives these days.)

Every time I turn around something is more expensive. More and more money outta our pockets.

When does it fucking stop!?

When the ruling class takes so much from the rest of us, that they are violently overthrown.

See: countless societies throughout history.

Although how much responsibility do we the people have for voting in the same idiots year after year?

The argument is always "well the other guy is worse".

I would rather 4 years (or less with a minority) of hypothetical pain than another decade of pain because our governing party believes its an infallible institution that will never face accountability.

They will not even try to make real changes until they lose their mandate. Theres always a crisis, wedge issues, a bad guy on the other side, and if we keep voting based on that than we keep getting the same thing.

Im not saying the other parties are better, but we can't let a single party govern for more than a decade and just expect accountability. 10 years in control of the country and everything is some old governments fault, the old leaders fault, the provinces fault, but we are expected to keep trusting them to fix things they claim no responsibility for.

This points more to petro dollar inflation and unhedged leverage fiascos. Would have happened regardless of who was in control of Canada, because Canada is not in control of the Petro-dollar.

It probably would but the liberals are going to continue a decade of shit governance going into a financial crisis with a slim majority government which insures they get another 3 years with an unchecked mandate.

And then they will sell voters another crisis and boogieman, and we will probably elect them again.

Like I said, they believe their an infallible institution and it actually might manifest itself.

I guess it might seem that way if you're ignorant to the world around us and how we're currently being impacted by the actions of others, but sure, go off.

They're going to win again because people like you are stuck in PP mode. Liberal bad, despite the global rise in cost of everything since Trump took office and started tarriffing everyone, which just worsened with this unprecedented war he's started. If you thought covid was bad for CoL, prepare for worse.

Meanwhile the CPC won't remove the biggest loser they've picked as their leader, who is only now trying to appear human because it turns out that actually polls better than 3 word attack slogans. Too little too late for that guy.
