I’m not Canadian (and never have been!), but can someone who is please let me know if I’m missing something in my belief that Justin Trudeau is the most insipid ‘leader’ of my lifetime?. Genuinely interested if I’m missing something somewhere that I’m not being served on Twitter?.

"Central banks have worked out, although they try to keep it a secret, that the natural state of the economy is to generate deflation. This is better known as productivity growth. As companies become more efficient and workers more productive they produce the same amount of goods.

New federal debt since 2020: $354B. Share of it bought by central bank: $302B — or 84%. Face it: this government has embraced the crackpot “Modern” Monetary Theory of paying bills with printed cash. A modern idea that’s thousands of years old.
