The federal cabinet will discuss this week whether new federal measures are needed to help Canadians with the cost of living, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said after the Bank of Canada announced a 0.75-per-cent rate hike aimed at dampening inflation.
Federal documents disclosed online show the Finance Department has had internal discussions over the summer about an economic and fiscal update for 2022, as well as next year’s federal budget. “I have a really big job already. In fact, I have two big jobs as Finance Minister and deputy Prime Minister of Canada,” she replied. “And I am really, really focused on those and on working hard with the Prime Minister with my cabinet colleagues, with Canadians to get through a challenging economic time in the world and to really capitalize on what I believe are the tremendous opportunities ahead of our country.
“The health care system is in crisis because we have a crisis of health care workers. It’s all about human resources,” he told reporters Wednesday. “That’s why we’re investing in and supporting provinces and territories in addressing that crisis. It’s key to the long-term sustainability of our health care system.”
Liberals caused inflation and increase in cost of living and now they want to support people for their mistakes by taking away those who actually create wealth like private businesses and entrepreneurs.
Yaasss!! More generated money to people who can’t afford inflation will definitely flatten inflation causing the affordability crisis, “we can afford this budget will balance itself measure,” Minister Freeland says.
How else would you deal with too much money chasing too few goods then to give people more money?
The best way for government to support cost of living is to allow for private business to flourish and create well paying jobs. Continuing to create government jobs and provide hand outs that make people dependent on the government obligates increased taxes to all so you can pay
WOW, talk about being out of touch with reality! Just ask most middle to low income Canadians! Something the Liberal government is totally unaware of! This is the Liberals idea of helping!
WOW, talk about being out of touch with reality! Just ask most middle to low income Canadians! Something the Liberal government is totally unaware of! This has been their help!
“Little” Chrystia and the Groper Trudeau decided to vacation in Vancouver with the rest of the cabinet cult. Their only decisions will be what wine to drink, and whether to watch the Groper surf
Please no more unrestricted CERB. Companies have need of employees willing to work now. CERB helped to incur a nation wide shortage of employees willing to work their way up like we did. CERB was essential for some Canadians only.
Where is the windfall tax?
Stop the handouts. Manage the economy. Stop the QE / ZIRP nonsense. This is not capitalism.
debate? Canada is a corporate fascist joke. on behalf of the millennials - who find your little rag a joke on the gov'ts behalf.... ...hire a journalist. One... just one....
That’s right fix inflation caused by government spending by spending more. ….and by not giving it to those paying the taxes you will need to spend that money.
The more money you make the more taxes you pay. unless you are a multi millionaire cost of living support will make no difference to you finances.
LMAO, clueless Liberals destroy everything they touch!
More debt to compensate for more debt. This is like a crazy scorned X girlfriend who just stole your credit card. There must be personal consequences for her mismanagement. Economic Sabotage destroys lives.
It absolutely is needed 😌
is that her “guess which side of the debate I’m on” face
Anything to avoid dealing with the corporate gouging eh?
debate? 👀 do you people even live in the same world as the poors?
Didn't the same actors suggest no wage increases a short time ago?
Like cutting carbon pricing?
So give more money to help with inflation, can’t make this stuff up.
Freeland... the ironic named person who froze average Canadians' bank accounts for dissent.
globepolitics I hate myself for this, but man that is one ugly woman!
They wouldn't have to if they would stop enacting policy that forces yet another TrudeauRateHike on people.
