Canadians felt the pinch at the grocery store last month as food prices continued to climb, contributing to a 2.4 per cent annual increase in the Consumer Price Index for September.
Thanks Mr Carney and all of you that supported this raging lunatic!! He will ALWAYS be loyal to the global elitists and to the account holders at Brookfield. He does not give a rats a** about the rest of us. Thanks to all of you that supported this clown and now more and more, life is getting impossible to afford. And then you wonder why there's so many people that are homeless
I take some comfort in that alot of those homeless WERE his "supporters"..lol..and to those people i say.."We tried to warn yas..and got ridiculed for it..so yuk it up, ASSHOLES"..and thks for dragging us all down with you..
No-one ever mentions the low Canadian dollar which will stay low until there is economic activity which draws in foreign capital. That can only happen when Carney takes the brake off all activity and allows job creating to flourish.
It would not take much real activity to allow the dollar to go up a minor 5% which would have a major effect on food prices with a side benefit that the Canadians wintering in the south would have more loot.
One US dollar has been worth $1.40 Canadian for the past few days. Just about every import into Canada is in US Dollars. It's going to be a cold Canadian winter thanks to Carney. Perhaps that is part of his plan.
Our dollar is tanking and the wonderous banker (wanker) is facilitating it, when the budget comes out it will plummet as will our credit rating. We winter in Mexico, our dollar used to buy 17 pesos it now is at just about 13, last year it dipped to under 12. This shows the devaluation in real terms, we have lost 30% in 3 yrs and yet people still vote for this train wreck of government and blame Trump for everything. Canada is screwed.
No argument. Wife and I are retired in Mexico now...trying to sell our beach home. We will move to Alberta versus all of the years in BC. If separation becomes an option we will vote yes.
Good move JH. Mexico is superior in every way. Especially the HealthCare.
We are robbed daily for non-existent HealthCare. Taxation with not only no compensation but no representation and no appeal. If Highwaymen did this we could shoot them down in self-defence.
We are in small town Mexico. Medical is mediocre but OK. If I had a heart problem I would need to go back to Canada or sell the house to pay for medical in the US
In the Country of the Blind (the Liberal voters) the one eyed man is King. Refrain from blaming Trump for every misstep the Liberals have made. The Liberal voters should be held responsible for the absolute mess this country is in. Ten years of he@ll wasn't enough for them so they just signed up for another 4 years.
Grocery prices have increased by at least 20% over the last six months, at least at the major chains. There are alternatives, however, dollar stores, Bulk Barn and Walmart which have done a better job holding down prices.
But..when Justin put Weston on the hot seat regarding the high cost of groceries, he stated that for every $25 we spend on groceries, they only profit $1 !!..He's an awesome actor..cuz he didn't giggle thru the whole meeting.
He keeps using our money to add phallic-symbols like Atriums and fancy kiosks to the British Museum though. Yet some still complain about Muslims an other immigrants for some reason.
What? Did someone think that Carneys industry carbon tax wouldn't have an effect on inflation? Wait till they reimplement the carbon tax on households. Note that US gasoline prices are dropping but they have had a marginal increase in CPI. Imagine a Canadian getting paid in US dollars while being part of the US.
Carney is a complete and utter failure. Everything he touches fails. The telegraph newspaper published, "Canada is about to find our that Carney is the man with the reverse Midas touch". Well, the truth is here to see!
We all know that any figures posted by governments must be multiplied by at least three times to make them more accurate in reality. I have been shocked by the recent increases in all kinds of groceries lately, sometimes 25% or more for some foods.
The Provincial governments have legislation already in place to deal with overpricing and price gouging. This is a provincial issue as well, and even more so. So why aren't people pushing our provincial and territorial governments to do more?
National inflation is not provincial and that is the major issue. Sure one can try to pressure provincial leaders but they would play ping-pong with it. Start at the top, no plans, no budget, no projections .. but they do well off of us
I read somewhere that "The masses will only revolt when they are starving"..and the sound of growling stomachs is getting louder by the day..oh..just a thought, but the "Gov't" has hired over 100,000 "Bureaucrats" since Justin showed his ugly face..I seriously doubt that they are ALL pencil pushers..
There is a sweet window of opportunity between losing a bit of weight and getting too weak to fight. The 'masses' usually miss it. 'Revolutions' (regime change ops really) are funded by states with their mind on rape and resource theft. The mainstay of Western 'income' for centuries now. Canada is now being targeted. When the Palace takes over, Carney will become an Oilygarch, and the tarsands will be sold for the benefit of Perfidious Albion. Regime Change Op is Carney's Job #1 on the North American continent.
The thing is, that it's global inflation. Canada is only going through the same issues as other countries are. The provincial governments still have to do their part. Blaming the federal government without expecting the provincial governments to do their part is just blaming the cat for the mess the dog is making; while you're watch the dog make the mess.
BRICS?? Who is that? If you look at several different reports every country seems to have different reports about what life is like there. We can't even get a consistent report from one of our provinces let alone another country. However, nobody seem to be doing great right now.
Canada's hardly the worst. As far as how things are doing in places like China and Russia, and places like that; you might want to check your information again.
"Canada is only going through the same issues as other countries are"
...have you noticed those 'other countries' (UK/ Ireland. Scotland/ Australia/ Canada..are ALL Commonwealth Countries??.).with Christian/ Catholics Religions the vast majority..(and Whites)... are now the quickly disappearing minority..as in Non- Muslim??..sensing a pattern yet?
Putting the onus on the federal government isn't going to fix the problem, especially when all the provinces have to do is opt out of anything the federal governments try. You say this has been tried, but it didn't work. I'm 74 and have lived in Ontario most of my life. When exactly was this tried? If you're talking about trying to push Doug Ford into taking more responsibility, it's obvious that Doug Ford takes more of a push.
I remember Trudeau. Western Canadian Conservative who knows that Ford is either a liberal, a fool, or both.
The Economic and Political Fallout
While the Trudeau government’s decision to implement wage and price controls was aimed at stabilizing the economy, the results were mixed, and the policy became deeply unpopular. For many Canadians, the controls represented an intrusion into the free market, with unexpected consequences for businesses and workers alike. Businesses found themselves squeezed by restrictions that limited their ability to adjust prices in response to rising input costs. Workers, particularly those in unions, chafed under wage controls that prevented them from negotiating pay increases that kept pace with the rising cost of living.
Although inflation did slow somewhat by the late 1970s, the wage and price controls were not the panacea that the government had hoped for. The economy remained sluggish, and growth was far from robust. By 1978, the Trudeau government began phasing out the controls, and by 1979, the Anti-Inflation Board was dissolved. The program was largely viewed as a failure, having created as many problems as it sought to solve. Inflation, while slightly reduced, continued to be a concern, and the temporary nature of the controls left unresolved issues within the broader economic system.
Politically, Trudeau’s about-face on wage and price controls damaged his reputation. Having campaigned vigorously against them in 1974, his reversal in policy was seen by many as a betrayal or, at the very least, a sign of inconsistency. His government was criticized for not having a clear and coherent economic strategy and for enacting a policy that many believed was ineffective. This period of economic mismanagement contributed to the political challenges Trudeau faced in subsequent years, leading to the rise of the Progressive Conservatives under Joe Clark in the 1979 election.
The Legacy of the Anti-Inflation Program
The Trudeau government’s wage and price controls during the mid-1970s serve as a critical lesson in Canadian economic history. The 1974 Federal election and the subsequent introduction of the Anti-Inflation Act represent a moment when Canada was forced to confront the limits of government intervention in a market-driven economy. The experience demonstrated the difficulty of managing inflation, particularly when it is driven by external factors such as global oil prices and the interconnected nature of modern economies.
In hindsight, many economists and historians have argued that while wage and price controls were a well-intentioned response to a serious problem, they were ultimately too blunt an instrument to address the underlying causes of inflation. The program's failure highlighted the need for more targeted economic policies and greater coordination between monetary and fiscal policy in controlling inflation.
For Pierre Trudeau, the experience with wage and price controls was one of the more difficult chapters of his long career in public life. It revealed the challenges of governing during a time of economic uncertainty and the perils of reversing course on key policy positions. Though the controls themselves are largely viewed as unsuccessful, the broader debate they sparked about the role of government in the economy continues to resonate in Canadian political discourse.
In the context of Canadian history, this episode marks a period where economic policy was not just about growth but about stability in the face of global economic disruptions. It also reflects the ongoing tension in Canadian politics between government intervention and market forces, a debate that would continue to shape policy decisions in the decades to come.
Don't forget, Turdeau pere and Fidel Castro were competing for the dubious charms of Mad Maggie. Pierre brought a bit of Castro to Canada when Justin arrived.
Again, inflation is driven by the federal government. This is standard and well known. Corporations will see their cost go up due to this. They, in turn, will raise the cost of their products to compensate. Undoubtedly they will add "a bit more" to deal with their inconvenience. However, to pass this to the provinces is unrealistic. The federal government is causing this by their reckless fiscal habits. Correct this first, apparently, according to the Left (and the Liberals are now solidly far left) this can be handled by their messiah Mark Carney. Sorry for the sarcasm but he has not shown ANY fiscal responsibility.
Carney is a complete and utter failure. Everything he touches fails. The telegraph newspaper published, "Canada is about to find our that Carney is the man with the reverse Midas touch". Well, the truth is here to see!
This report that states that grocery prices have risen to almost 3% is gaslighting, we have watched as prices of a number of grocery items have increased and at the same time portions have gotten smaller! I think the word for this is shrinkflation. That obscures the real cost of inflation so therefore the government then tells us that the actual inflation number is lower than it actually is. And the price of gas and diesel is not any lower that is just plain B.S. How can anyone believe the government reports that things are not so bad, also I question the supposed basket of groceries that the government bases their reports on, they are cherry picked to gaslight us, well I don't believe their results are anything but propaganda to keep us fooled into thinking all is well.
Carney is an expert in inflation. He uses it to reduce the impact of overspending by government on evil schemes like "global warming", ESG and DEI, and funding for trannies. I am certain if Canadians knew of Carney's ultimate goals, there would be tar and feathers in the protests. As a banker, Carney knows full well what his extra-high deficits have done and will do to the value of the dollar. It is a direct theft from retirees. Those on fixed income and pensions, have had their dollars cut in spending power by this ratio... the gold price, at one time was $25.00/oz. Now, gold is valued at over $5,000.00 per the same ounce. The dollar is 200 times less valuable. That is what inflation really is. Gold did not become more scarce, or more valuable, no, it is a direct indicator of the intended devaluing of the debt owed by the government, and their intent to defraud the tax payers of their income, by inflating the economy. Crooked is an apt description of the process, used extensively by skilled bankers. Carney will now attempt to use the CBC and mainstream media to further enflame Canadians against Donald Trump, and call another election, pretending to "elbow up". What a disingenuous fraud. Shame on the suckers who vote Liberal or NDP. The deceptive taking of Canada by the "globalists" is on your shoulders. 200% inflation is commonly observed in the groceries.
Carney is a complete and utter failure. Everything he touches fails. The telegraph newspaper published, "Canada is about to find our that Carney is the man with the reverse Midas touch". Well, the truth is here to see!
I fail to see how gas prices are affected by Carnage's government....the oil companies are just playing with us, it's a game. Government taxes don't fluctuate 3-4x a day, nor do they go up on weekends, or down after 9pm as gas prices do.
You are right Susan , however we must remember that taxation is a constant revenue source for government so regardless of the price at the pump we still pay the government ,so they have no incentive to lower the prices or the amount of taxes levied.
Thanks Mr Carney and all of you that supported this raging lunatic!! He will ALWAYS be loyal to the global elitists and to the account holders at Brookfield. He does not give a rats a** about the rest of us. Thanks to all of you that supported this clown and now more and more, life is getting impossible to afford. And then you wonder why there's so many people that are homeless
I take some comfort in that alot of those homeless WERE his "supporters"..lol..and to those people i say.."We tried to warn yas..and got ridiculed for it..so yuk it up, ASSHOLES"..and thks for dragging us all down with you..
The poorer people become the safer the Oligarch Psychopath class feels.
mostly ya..didn't help Mussolini or his ladyfriend, tho..
Keep saying it, there is a solution for those in Alberta, leave, BEFORE Carnage and company finish off the once great canada.
No-one ever mentions the low Canadian dollar which will stay low until there is economic activity which draws in foreign capital. That can only happen when Carney takes the brake off all activity and allows job creating to flourish.

We are in small town Mexico. Medical is mediocre but OK. If I had a heart problem I would need to go back to Canada or sell the house to pay for medical in the US
One of the first, if not the first, Medical School in North America was in Guadalajara.
It is far easier to make 'stupid' than to fix it.
Carney is actually here to take back the 'Rebelled Colonies' which is how City of London money-laundering centre and the Palace think of the USA.
Canada is just a sacrificial anode to them.
Absolutely part of his plan
Sounds like the Zelensky Stratagem: "Send money or the little Ukrainian dog gets it!"
Meanwhile, Mark Cockroach continues his world tour achieving absolutely nothing tangible for Canadians!
Old, senile vampires are the worst kind.
well..he is sporting a nice tan...so...ya..💩
You are so right!!
In the Country of the Blind (the Liberal voters) the one eyed man is King. Refrain from blaming Trump for every misstep the Liberals have made. The Liberal voters should be held responsible for the absolute mess this country is in. Ten years of he@ll wasn't enough for them so they just signed up for another 4 years.
Pure unadulterated bull crap. Anyone who buys groceries will tell you prices have risen away beyond those figures.
Grocery prices have increased by at least 20% over the last six months, at least at the major chains. There are alternatives, however, dollar stores, Bulk Barn and Walmart which have done a better job holding down prices.
But..when Justin put Weston on the hot seat regarding the high cost of groceries, he stated that for every $25 we spend on groceries, they only profit $1 !!..He's an awesome actor..cuz he didn't giggle thru the whole meeting.

"Grocery prices rose 4 per cent" like to know where stats can shops, more likely more BS.
I try to buy at Giant Tiger....cheaper for the same brand names
What? Did someone think that Carneys industry carbon tax wouldn't have an effect on inflation? Wait till they reimplement the carbon tax on households. Note that US gasoline prices are dropping but they have had a marginal increase in CPI. Imagine a Canadian getting paid in US dollars while being part of the US.
Thank you JUNO for reporting TRUTH! Praying for Canada!
Carney is a complete and utter failure. Everything he touches fails. The telegraph newspaper published, "Canada is about to find our that Carney is the man with the reverse Midas touch". Well, the truth is here to see!
On USD / CDA exchange rate, the Old Low was $0.65 in the mid 1980s. It’s coming.
We all know that any figures posted by governments must be multiplied by at least three times to make them more accurate in reality. I have been shocked by the recent increases in all kinds of groceries lately, sometimes 25% or more for some foods.
Any info on where Carney went with his taxes on CO2 after resetting the tax to zero on consumer items?
LOL......
Poof
The Provincial governments have legislation already in place to deal with overpricing and price gouging. This is a provincial issue as well, and even more so. So why aren't people pushing our provincial and territorial governments to do more?
National inflation is not provincial and that is the major issue. Sure one can try to pressure provincial leaders but they would play ping-pong with it. Start at the top, no plans, no budget, no projections .. but they do well off of us

According to Carney all is as right as right can be.
Why do I doubt Carney said anything of the kind. He's far to aware to say anything like that.
Yes, Allan some are. China and Russia for example. I know of two countries and what life is like there. But you would not be happy to hear which ones.
But Canada is one of the worst. Perhaps we can agree on that.
Canada's hardly the worst. As far as how things are doing in places like China and Russia, and places like that; you might want to check your information again.

What you are suggesting is a prejudiced system based on religion. We have freedom of religion, not just freedom of Christian religions.
Never mind Al..I withdraw my question..it was intended for those with open minds..and eyes..
That was tried years decades ago. Didn't work.
Putting the onus on the federal government isn't going to fix the problem, especially when all the provinces have to do is opt out of anything the federal governments try. You say this has been tried, but it didn't work. I'm 74 and have lived in Ontario most of my life. When exactly was this tried?

Inflation is driven by the world economy. That's what we're facing right now; global inflation.
And that's a bad thing? I don't understand your comment.
More of a push???..you got a forklift??
Ford's definitely not going to move quietly or easily.
