Mark Carney is looking for a new Parliamentary Budget Officer who has more “tact and discretion” because Mark Carney is tired of Jason Jacques telling the truth.
But you don’t have to be the Parliamentary Budget Officer to spot discrepancies in Liberal math.
The job numbers for October were made to look good at a glance, but if you read past the first paragraph you will see that the increase in jobs are all temporary part time jobs and the Canada lost 18,500 full time jobs.
The October increase was driven entirely by part-time work (+85,000), while full-time positions actually fell (-18,500). Most of the gains were in Ontario, which added 55,000 jobs, and in industries including retail and wholesale trade, transportation, and information and recreation. BMO chief economist Douglas Porter notes that this provincial strength might have a temporary cause, suggesting Ontario’s gains—particularly in information, culture & recreation and accommodation & food—may have received a bump from the Blue Jays’ playoff run. Construction employment fell by 15,000.
If you look even further you will question the increase in transportation jobs. I’ve been in transportation for 34 years, the market has never been this slow for this long. EVER.
So how do you get an increase of 30,000 jobs in transportation when the industry is collapsing with bankruptcies everywhere? There are so many bankruptcies that the auctions are overrun with equipment for sale.
There were more people working in wholesale and retail trade (+41,000; +1.4%), transportation and warehousing (+30,000; +2.8%), information, culture, and recreation (+25,000; +3.0%), and utilities (+7,600; +4.6%). On the other hand, employment declined in construction (-15,000; -0.9%).
This fall things have slowed down even more due to the tariffs in the US and a lack of economic activity in Canada, so how did transportation and warehousing gain 30,000 jobs when trucking companies are laying off staff?
It can be argued that some of my number are from months ago, but there are no economic indicators showing any postive news that would cause a reversal of the trend.
It’s almost like the Liberals are spreading misinformation…
In liberal government, tact is the skill to not let the bad news be fully known and discretion is the delivery of the vetted message.
Duh of course Carney is a misinformation guru, he did Harvard & Oxford – top-schools in sheer-BS, propaganda, eco-Marxism. Plus, he’s buddy-buddy with all top-Socialists in EU: Tony Blair, all of UK’s Labor Party + WEF. His entire upbringing and education focus has been how to become a top liar/BSer.
From the second link, “Carney argues his government still has fiscal anchors after PBO raises concerns.”
The Titanic has anchors too. Only one teeny tiny problem …
Incompetent morons in “leadership” roles always surround themselves with Yes Men and assorted fools. That keeps their oversized egos from deflating.
It’s the new liberal math, he gives the coast guard to DND, he puts the snivel servants on the reserve duty roll and viola he has met his Nato promises. He also cut Veteran’s pensions, benefits and VA’s budget, they always go after Veterans Affairs to not balance the budget.
But, but, but, Harper amalgamated some veterans offices…
L – “It’s almost like the Liberals are spreading misinformation.”
Confession through projection is a most useful diagnosis and detectable upon reflection.
Hypocrite is an older moral term of similar import.
The increase in “transportation” jobs is just new Uber and Doordash drivers.
Carney and the Liberals want one message – theirs.
Everything else is mis/disinformation.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
Liberals are anti-Canadian scumbags
Don’t forget, “What the Party presents as truth, is Truth.”
