OTTAWA — OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.5 per cent. It’s the first hike since July 2023. The central bank wants to control inflation by reducing the risk that high fuel prices could spill over and seep into the overall economy.
That has been a pretty common trend for both the conservatives, regardless of the party name, and the Liberals for the last 30 or 40 years, if not longer. I can’t recall if Mulroney did or not, but I would be unsurprised. But I slexpect the gender or preference of partner in Carney’s kid doesn’t have any bearing on that situation.
I’m not going to shill for his kids or be their vanguard.
They shove my loved ones and I into the grinder without a thought. Therefore, I start wishing and hoping the worst for their’s.
I don’t worship a plus sign. I’m never “turning the other cheek”.
Do I want christian nationalism or sharia? No, of course not. Will I gladly pick it as a last resort to destroy the peace for the oligarchs in my country? 💯 yes.
These two situations are orthogonal. You not seeing that is your problem, not theirs.
I never claimed to play by their rules.
They destroy mine. I return the favour every which way possible.
Cool, attack them for their class, and what they and theirs do to others. But this is about as dumb as attacking black people in Canada because Obama was president of the US.
No it ain’t.
Barack was mixed race, half black. I don’t believe in white supremacist “one drop” rule.
I really do have more than a surface level understanding of our system. I refuse to be their obedient servant.
They destroy mine. I’ll do everything to return the favour multiple folds. No quarter.
Let’s assume just for the sake of argument that they have all teamed up to destroy your family. Just yours. You really think this impacts them? He’ll survive whatever’s coming and so will his kids.
Rather than attacking other people for what they won’t give you, create your own. Not wealthy enough? Fix that. You have the ability and the technology. Yeah, I’m not thrilled about where I am either. I’ve been working on changing that for a bit now. It won’t be quick, but you’re not the instant gratification sort, are you?
I can work on both myself as well as returning the favour to them in my free time.
I also don’t have to go at it alone. I’ll have my family affected as well in this scenario. I’ll have their support as well, no?
It’s not about instant gratification. He’s not “god”. In his religion, even his “god” got nailed to a tree…
Sure, but why? What does it gain you? You’re certainly not hurting them.
That’s between you and your family. But if you’re working on yourself the way you should be, whether you have their support or not shouldn’t matter. Though you should also probably be teaching them to do the same thing.
I don’t care what it’s not about. I care what it’s about. If it’s about doing better for yourself, then concentrate on that. You’re wasting your energy doing otherwise.
