Inflation

Cons have consistently out spent liberals in the past when in power. Time for a non religious fiscally conservative party but I don't see it happening.

Mine went up almost 100 for slightly less usage.
I figure it will now cost me about 1000 more a month to live in the same house I've been paying for for 14 years..

It bothers me that Canada is no better than the USA with leadership. 330 million people and best two they can come up with is Trump and Biden. We got JT and EO.

My definition of a Canadian is Someone who wants Canada to prosper. The failure of our leadership to educate that into our brains instead of Chicken Little thinking is what bothers me.

I see people say this often but I just don't believe it. The same people also talk about how conservatives cut everything. Can you show me some data?

You're telling me that Harper outspent JT/Chretien? that Mulroney outspent Chretien/PT?
 
They all spend like drunken sailers. The libs give it to their friends and the poor where as the cons give it their friends and big business. YMMV

When I get a chance I will send some links but Harper definitely outspent cretien by a wide margin. The the time when Paul Martin was finance minister was the most economically frugal in a long time for Canadian history.

I know Chretien was actually frugal. I was a Liberal supporter back then. Neither of the trudeau's payed any attention to spending and had more then a slight increase. Harper had a spike in spending during the rescession but corrected it quickly and balanced the budget within a couple years.

Chretien and Martin are the only Prime Ministers in the last 80 years actually to decrease spending over their term. Martin had such a large increase his first year that the cuts he made the second year still left spending higher then Chretien's last. Spending has generally increased in a fairly slow linear fashion across conservative PMs. I'm okay with spending more if we have the GDP to support it.

I'm a socialist at heart but hate waste. Someone posted about JT and $200 MILLION investment in a sinking casino. How about investing that into health care instead? Maybe better equipped border guards to stem gun flow, instead of punishing hunters and marksmen. More shelters for battered spouses? Clean water for indigenous people? Decent treatment for veterans?

There are many causes that are eating away at finances. I'm not suggesting we ignore wrong doings but the solutions can't just be money.

If a marriage is on the rocks, buying her more diamonds every time there's a tiff isn't going to make for a long relationship. "I'm sorry, here's some money." I don't know what is considered a fair settlement as most large wrong doings are unique.
 
I would say beat inflation and go this way but with current prices, this is pushing four figures.

Is that a washing machine in the kitchen too?

Yep and it is a dryer as well. Typical in the UK and many places in the EU. To be fair it kind of makes sense to keep all your "water" in one area..
 
Maybe can set up some sort of food bank where he donates the 55k/year of tax payer paid groceries to food banks for struggling students, and let him pay his own grocery bill out of the 380k he makes.

Has he ever been in a grocery store?

We picked up a couple of items at Costco followed by ice cream sundaes eaten with wooden spoons. I appreciate the elimination of plastic cutlery and straws but just about everything else in the store was packed in plastic. How is that going to be fixed?
 
For Valentine's all I could get my wife was a new battery for the Dyson vacuum. Thanks Trudeau.
