Eby's letter to Macklem said “unnecessary” further interest rate increases pose a danger not just to homeowners looking to renew mortgages but to renters, students, seniors, families and small business people looking to pay bills, just as they start to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Maybe he has a point ( master of the obvious) but I thought the BOC was separate to political influences...
I think he's just doing some lip service because there's no way his "letter" is going to do anything to prevent another hike next mth, BOC will make that decision - what he should do is fight to get rid of the carbon tax all Premiers across Canada should demand that it be eliminated - everybody and their dog knows it's raising the cost of living here in Canada, but I doubt any Politician will ever do this, might rename it , might restrict it to apply to certain items but it's never ever going to go away , it's way too huge of a tax base and no Party is going to walk from it

Yup. The federal government doesn't have to interfere with the BoC to reduce inflation. Inflation went up again as more federal taxes came online, so the BoC continues to put the rates up to curb inflation.

Eby gets to pretend none of the provincial government's actions have contributed to driving up inflation.

Its gets so confusing. Trudeau and his people also take no blame for inflation. Seems none of these current loser governments have any responsibility for anything. Sounds like a great job. :130:

It must be a lot like retirement, sitting around doing nothing important, no responsibility and watching the money rolling in.

Whaaattt, I had to take the garbage cans down this morning... that's a responsibility :D ....

Regardless, if the NDP reduced their expenditures to match getting rid of the stupid carbon taxes revenues, did not take the tolls off the Port Mann bridge, did not kibosh the Dease tunnel with a better bridge design and wasted $100 mil in prep work( that would be pretty close to being finished by now) and a few other tax grabs they have dreamed up( pay a fee to hike in a provincial park? ), The NDP could lower costs of businesses and for people in this province.

To lower the interest rates, he's way out of his league in economics. The Canadian dollar has to get stronger against the US dollar so goods are cheaper. Trudum has to stop printing money and get his finances in order( Like Chretien and Turner ), an increase in interest rates in relation to the US rates gives Canada a hand up and the price of oil has to go up to increase the Canadian dollar. I realize it's way more involved than that but I was told its a 50,000 foot explanation.

Eby and the NDP are going the way of the Liberal Party playbook, so Eby can go by the way of the Dodo bird.

Maybe Eby should tell his best friend Jagmeet to stop demanding more government spending that's fueling the inflation rate and causing interest rate hikes.

Nah, that would be eating his own. What a couple of loser turds he and Jagmeet are!

:up: :up:

That is the main reason for the inflation and the resulting interest rate hikes...

Didn't Jagmeet want the libs to hand out another $500 ? The guy is circling the drain...

The NDP want all citizens to be 100% dependent on the government.

That's the Manifesto to which they subscribe.

What better way to control citizens than have them 100% dependent on you for food, shelter, employment, etc? Regulate you into compliance, tax your transportation to the point where you're unable to afford the freedom to drive yourself to where you want to go, tax you to the point that you can't afford the basics. Those are all things the NDP and Liberals are doing right now, and they're ramping it up quickly.

It's like feeding a bear until the bear can't look after itself any longer. What was once a strong, independent being is now going to die if its master doesn't shell out.

The NDP has no place in this society.

Perhaps the NDP should be told the Soviet Union experiment didn't work. You have described exactly what happened in what is now Russia. Look how that turned out.

It seems the NDP's idea of a healthy middle class is more government workers, they have lost their way in creating the environment for businesses to thrive. It's the private sector that creates the wealth to run this province, or used to anyway.

I said all along watch out when the NDP got into power, and gullible voters believed the hype that the NDP had changed, when in reality it wasn't change at all, but rather that they were forced to behave, because Weaver had them under his thumb.

The moment the NDP won a majority, they instantly returned to their old ways, and with Eby in charge, all the more so. :cuss:

There's a special place in hell for the NDP.

More NDP garbage. We mishandled everything badly, made a mess of it, can I trot out the COVID BS and just say "it's the new normal"

NO it means you failed, created a mess and want to just shrug and say "oh well"

Weaver sold everyone out and people were to daft to see the NDP hasn't changed.
