Even Erin Otool is in on the game, his new slogan is build back stronger. Same shit different pile.

And he was beating the drums of war against China for their "cyber attacks" against Nortel this morning. Go figure an ex soldier that wants to go to war. Where do i hide my kids?

Of course I'm right, I haven't admitted to being wrong yet!🤣

The common language thing is something I believe started in the 90's. The corporate and government worlds started using "buzz" words. Most meeting minutes, proposals, draft plans etc pretty well all include a section on terms of reference or common goals. It is done under the premise that everyone has common understanding, I do believe it also has subliminal psychological component. If you hear things enough times you start to believe and accept. I used to work for The Co-operators insurance Co. They always had a corporate attitude of leading instead of following industry and community. Late 90's or early 2000 they had a series of meetings and the buzz word was sustainability and what it means. I knew the dictionary definition but it was not a commonly used word at the time. The CEO directly said pay attention because this will be the focus going forward. Bottom line is "sustainability" became common industry and corporate language that is used everywhere today from your crop inputs to dish soap to government to economics with similar but different meanings.

Trendy isnt really the word but it's kinda what happens when you get the same types of people having meetings about having meetings. Lots of fluffy words and phrases, and lots of proposals, but reality is not much gets accomplished.

My humble opinion it started out with too few people controlling the wealth leaving others desperate pay check to pay check but in order to get elected things were done to make it possible for pay to pay check people to survive easier loans mainly which isn’t a cure it’s a problem as to why do they need those loans and that can be argued all day no thanks. So this built and built while the super rich and governments poured money into real estate to keep themselves rhe kings some of rhe peasants demanded no interest loans or they would fold and revolt so it went on and on until we are here.........................
At the tip of mass wealth and mass poverty. At a time when Home Depot announced increases to wages due to spiralling home sales there are literally thousands of cars lined up for food at the drive through covid centre many receiving food equal the value of rhe gas to get there???

I wish i was the chicken at least id have an excuse to be confused.

Yea I get the super rich vs the super poor.

Funny in the USA a guy cleaning garbage at McDonalds is happy to have a job and be working vs a Canadian system.

What about all of us the Middle Class or 1% you know who they want to knock down.

Thats interesting gdr, truth is people from that spectrum with the flowery catch phrases arent really known for being doers. But they have the levers of power and as we can see even a total f up like Trudeau can do some damage.

I used to think we should be toppling him as fast as we can, but we are safer with him stuck in a minority.

Trudeau at the end of his presser this morning suggested that if the provinces cooperate to control covid there would be no need for the emergency measures act. Sounds like a threat to me.

Not everyone who got ahead in life did it at the expense of the poor!

Being born into opportunity
Taking risks
Lifestyle choices
Hard work
Good business and money management skills
Luck

My goodness, there's a saying about penalizing members of society for their success.

We already have social safety nets, what more.....

Trudeau cant evoke emergency powers without all party consensus. That shipped sailed last spring. CPC aint going to give him a blank cheque again.

Still waiting for Turdeau to use "sustainable" and spending in the same sentence....

How did Pierre invoke the war Measures Act October Crisis 1970? I remember it well. I remember driving up to Marquis Hall and being terrified that we could be arrested.
