@Mattl8241@BestStephenD@CBCNews Did you read the “How we are separate from the political process”? I’ll add another quote “As a central bank separate from the political process, we are able to adopt the medium- and long-term perspectives essential to conducting effective monetary policy.”
@Mattl8241@BestStephenD@CBCNews My response was literally from the Bank of Canada website, as is this: “An independent monetary institution separates the power to spend money from the power to create money.” Under the section “How we are separate from the political process”

@Mattl8241@BestStephenD@CBCNews The Bank of Canada is a special type of Crown corporation, owned by the federal government, but with considerable independence to carry out its responsibilities. The Governor and Senior Deputy Governor are appointed by the Bank's Board of Directors, not by the federal government.
@Mattl8241@BestStephenD@CBCNews He was welcomed by Harper, but not selected. That was over 2 decades ago and since then Carney has moved more to a high carbon tax system to achieve net zero. He had Trudeau’s ear since Covid and has pushed Trudeau for higher taxes since. It wasn’t “just last year”
@Mattl8241@BestStephenD@CBCNews He wasn’t selected by Harper “The Directors of the Bank of Canada appointed under Section 9 of the Bank of Canada Act today announced that they have appointed Mark Carney as Governor of the Bank of Canada for a seven-year term, effective 1 February 2008” https://t.co/XC2RnuxcH6
@Mattl8241@BestStephenD@CBCNews His economic “experience” is to run large deficits, tax people to the breaking point. He has been Trudeau’s advisor for years and look how that turned out.
How about this for building a “Team Canada 🇨🇦” approach?
1. Stop threatening the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Albertans & Canadians via an energy export tax or ban.
2. Immediately start construction on the Northern Gateway & Energy East pipelines to diversify our customer base to Europe, Asia and our own country
3. Tell Germany, Japan and the rest of the world that there is, in fact, a “business case” for Canadian oil and gas to be sold to them
4. Repeal the unconstitutional and job killing production cap, electricity regs and C-69
5. Treat with respect, and as an equal partner, the Alberta taxpayers that have been transferring hundreds of billions to Quebec, the Maritimes and even Ontario, for decades.
Let’s start there on building our “Team Canada” approach shall we?
@thelma_thomson@diana_murphy613 We have lower taxes on gasoline because WE PRODUCE IT, the highest taxes are from countries which must import it and pay high transportation costs. Notice we are considerably higher than the US also. Socialists need to learn some economics….and then they wouldn’t be socialists
@MBDASweden@RichJBsmith@Roger_Larsson As I referenced above every country which has assessed the F-35 and Gripen E (and have the qualifications, training,+ access to the aircraft’s classified performance) have all picked the 35. And it hasn’t even been close, there is a reason why the E hasn’t been ordered since 2013
@RichJBsmith@Roger_Larsson@MBDASweden 🤔 I referenced competitions where the F-35 and Gripen were both assessed, and the 35 was the clear winner, as Finland put it the 35 was in a league of its own. That’s more than my “view”, are you saying Finland didn’t assess the E correctly? Maybe you should tell then about it
@Roger_Larsson@RichJBsmith@MBDASweden The F-35 at IOC was a much more capable than fourth gen fighters like the Gripen E. literally every competition has came to the same conclusion. To suggest Gripen can match the F-35 ever is laughable, to suggest it is comparable to a Block 4 F-35 is just ridiculous. 😂
@RodKahx Pretty sure the carbon tax is, as the PBO says it’s not revenue neutral LIE 1, that is actually improves the environment LIE 2, and Canadians are better off with it LIE 3. No wonder Canadians are opposed to it.
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
Graphic and traumatizing images of the size of our national debt under Trudeau from common sense Conservative @bobzimmermp.. .
@daleethompson So you think Michelle is in a room alone and she is the fourth smartest person in that room? Is this Liberal math? Like the carbon tax is revenue neutral math? 😂
@cowling175 Holy rage farming @cowling175 how about debate on the job performance of the leaders. Obviously Trudeau has a lot more to answer for, but it would be a start.
