AS IN TRUDEAU SENIOR AND HIS SON JUSTIN.
BOTH HAVE UTTER CONTEMPT FOR THE ECONOMY WHICH IS NOT SURPRISING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACT THAT BOTH WERE TRUST FUND BABIES.
The Irony in this is that Pierre's father and Justin's Grandfather made his money...the source of their Trust Fund - from the now discredited oil and gas industry.
In the late 70s / early 80s Interest Rates topped out at 22%. I was a practicing lawyer in Northumberland County and had clients losing their homes and their farms. I was also heavily involved in the County's Conservative Politics and due to that it did not take much to convince me to go to work for the Federal Progressive Conservative Party to help in seeing an end to dear Pierre Elliott. The General Election that followed saw Pierre's Liberal Party go down to one of the biggest defeats in Canadian History...Pierre Himself ducked the vote...took a Walk In The Snow and thus avoided the ignominy of defeat by the skin of His teeth.
What upset me so much about the Sr. was His total non-interest...almost distain for all things related to the economy. In one of his few trips out West he insulted our hard-working Grain Farmers telling them "Why Should I Sell Your Wheat"?
Instead His total preoccupation was all about the Constitution and in His opinion it needed to be repatriated from Mother Country England. Cold comfort for those losing their properties due to the staggering high cost of living.
And that brings me to the Son ...the apple that did not fall far from the Tree.
Trudeau the Younger, if it is even possible, has more distain for the Economy than His Father did - He believes "Budgets Balance Themselves" and during the recent Election had the temerity to say "if re-elected ...you'll forgive me if I don't think about Monetary Policy".
I can believe that ...But it gets even worse ...much worse.
The real tragedy in the way the Younger runs Canada is that in every way ...including the economy we should be doing better...much better. We have a relatively small population living in a vast country with oodles of resources...minerals, oil and gas, forestry and agricultural ...we should be the richest citizens on earth but in that we come in at 19th...Luxembourg is number one with well over twice the income for each of their citizens compared with Canada. What is it with the Trudeau's who worked and currently work so hard to see our Economy Falter?
Since first elected a mere 6 years ago, He has wrung up massive Deficits and our Debt stands right now at $1,200 Billion...double the $612 Billion it was 2015. Incredible. Canada's debt / deficit problems began with Sr. and as you can see have been greatly exacerbated under the tutelage of the Younger.
His Father said 'why should I sell your Wheat' while the Son says Why Should I Sell Your Oil and Gas. But of course it is much worse than just mere words ...Trudeau has done everything he possibly can to shutter this Industry which is so important to the Economic Welfare of our Entire Nation.
Related to this is the Total Folly of His Green Energy Program. It is doomed to failure and yet is contributing as well to the beggaring of our Economy.
And as each month goes by, the Cost of Living rises ..today's number came in at 4.8% the highest it has been since 1991 and for food it is a staggering 5.7%. Economists believe those numbers are headed higher.
So at a time of much higher food prices we are experiencing Empty Grocery Store Shelves due to the breakdown in the Supply Chains. And to add insult to injury He has imposed Mandatory Vaccination on our Truckers. So if you think shelves are empty now and prices too high..you ain't seen nothing yet.
As an update...in today's Ottawa Sun the President of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada had this to say: Governments are supposed to provide clarity and calmness ...and what has gone on is nothing but chaos and confusion.
If I was still living in Brighton I would be tempted once again to come to Ottawa to help defeat the Son but sadly know that unlike 1984 if an Election was to be held now...Justin would likely win again.
Unbelievable but True.
Apples anyone ? ...assuming they are available and are affordable.
As I See It...
