      To be fair I think she clearly meant in the OECD, where we are second to last behind Luxembourg in GDP per capita growth, falling well short of inflation.

      Meanwhile we are capping ourselves to lower our own standard of living and not even fighting climate change to do so, as we perform mass immigration to hide falling productive growth.

      This then largely falls on the poor whose rents doubled and who are overwhelming the food banks. The rich already own a home and they invest outside of Canada, which Caroline Rogers has then increasingly warned about our diminishing investment into Canada.

        I guess I’m tired of assuming what conservatives might have meant when they say things.

        There’s lots of legitimate criticisms, but we are far from the worst country in the world.

          I agree with you. Conservatives purposely being vague all the time so they can deny their words later. They are purposely being vague so their base can then “fill in the blanks” with whatever spin they wish.

      Really don’t have to go as far as all that, the US is a pretty glaring example of poor living standards. Going to the doctor won’t bankrupt your citizens, for one thing.

    I would so fucking love to send her to the country that actually has the lowest standard of living in the world, and leave her there.

      It’s easy to get to Mogadishu too – parachute, clown cannon, cruise ship. Sorted.

      We could make a sport of it.

      Here’s the pattern as practiced by POTUS47, PP, Putin and Smith: describe all of your shortcomings and failures but pin it on the opposite side and you’re golden as nobody can blame you back in that same sh#t. Or so the thinking goes
