Trudeau's Machinations

and fabrications...

This anonymous "dialogue" was in response to an individual who was complimenting the Liberal government generally, and Justin Trudeau specifically, on "their progress for Canada".


"...a personal beef with some of the Twitter feed from Justin et. al. about how Gov has put more money into the pockets of Canadians.

WHAT a BS artist.

For the hell of it and with time on my hands I went and looked at the “Current and capital accounts – Households, Canada, quarterly” report with numbers from Q2 2018 to Q2 2019.

It’s the report about Household Disposable Income and Household Net Saving (way, way, below is an image of the report so that people can add and subtract to get StatCan numbers – in the interim, I tirade)(sic).

My own Questions and Answers, per the above over the past 5 Quarters (%’s are vs. Household Disposable Income):
1. Did Gov put more money in your pocket in benefits or whatever?
No, not really. From “General Government” it increased a paltry 0.1% (17.7% to 17.8%).
——————-
2. Did Gov take more money out of your pocket in taxes?
A BIG Yes. From “To General Governments” taxes increased by 1.6% (30.9% to 31.5%). DOUBLE what they gave you – THIMBLERIG.
——————-
3. Are Canadians putting more money in their pockets?
No. The Household Saving Rate ranges from a mediocre 1.7% to a catatonic 0.9%.
——————-
4. Are Canadians buying more stuff and how are they paying for it?
Yes (not shown in my image below but about $172.5 billion Q2 2019). How are they paying for it all, see the last line in the image.

Now all of you will be able to actually add & subtract on your own using the layout challenged report itself:

Still, good on StatCan they publish data like this. I bitch a lot about them but in the end, there is data.

CONCLUSION about Justin et. al. Twitter “more money in your pocket” Tweets:
So full of dung, his eyes will be brown by October (if not sooner).   …pants on fire.

Another subject that he Tweets about is how the Liberals are SO responsible for how well the economy is doing.

In fact, he had the gall to say GDP is growing at 3.7%.

Well, I Tweeted back:

1. An image from the BNN poll basically asking do you think that 3.7% number is BS? 80% of Canadians replied they did (1,150 respondents).

2. Reminded him that the last 5 Quarters of GDP growth have been between 1.3% and 1.5%, no screaming hell, if anything below average.

3. Reminded him the 3.7% number was StatCan taking the Q2 2019 GDP growth rate and multiplying by 4 to annualize it (they published 0.9% for the quarter, 0.9% x 4 does not equal 3.7%, but WTF, there it is).

4. I asked him if HE EVEN READS HIS OWN Gov Reports?

 ‘Cause if he did he’d know that he is:

SO full of dung that flies are hovering over and around him and I ended with my usual “liar, pants on fire”.

Funny thing, NO PUSH BACK from his devoted followers; though."

 

"T2 is likely smokin' a little too much of the stuff he legalized," Kia would've said.


Probably.
