    Yup. And/or the taxpayers.
    Virtually the same thing.

    I think governments are realizing that printing excess money to pay for "free stuff" is the key to all their woes. Taxpayers end up footing the bill through inflation, and it comes without the obvious toll on these bozos getting reelected ("I never once raised your taxes! But look at all the free stuff I gave you!").

      When you raise taxes you end up in the bull's eye on you, whereas when you cause inflation you have scapegoats. Old Joe has blamed Putin, Big Business and even told mom and pop convenience stores to not make any profit on gas sales

      • They’re blaming Putin and covid here. Soon they’ll be blaming Pierre!

        • By blaming Putin they are admitting that they are not in control and are useless leaders.

          Why elect a leader that can't even manage his own country?

              Even if he legitimately got the votes, he isn’t a valid PM.

              He is the leader of a minority government, shored up by the farther left NDP, which he must obey or another election will be called.

                He seems quite comfortable with the NDP, who seem closer aligned with his beliefs than the LPC. I suspect he joined the latter because that was Daddy's party and he was likely to be more electable and gain more power by being in the LPC.

                  He pretends not to agree with them. There is, currently, no difference in the minds of the average Canadian with half a brain.

                            I think so. I remember it from a while back. Doesn’t matter.

                            But, he would allow them to come in unvaccinated just like the thousands that came in unhindered before, during, and deter the pandemic. Canadian citizens couldn’t even return here unvaccinated but the poor oppressed trying to escape the evil Donald Trump are still coming.
