Did you actually read my comment about why that is the case? Are you familiar with what's going on in the economy? I guess not.

I’d be careful espousing your economic expertise, reading your comments on inflation.

Man. Justinflation must be pretty powerful if it makes all those other countries print money.WellThatAgedWell wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 6:53 am Yeah it will be tricky to reduce inflation! Obviously Canada is a small piece of the pie and the global problem is not all on JT. Collectively the global money printer is responsible. China, Biden, JT they are all responsible.
Apparently borrowing some pages from Viktor Orbán's playbook is the answer. CPAC seemed to think so. Let's turn ourselves into Hungary to own the libs.

You volunteered that house prices don't affect inflation for people. It's called Rent.
You can look it up.
Re: The Covid money printer slowly ends, now we pay.
Yes, indeed. I meant that inflation didn't cause high house prices as op implied. It affects inflation to a certain amount although isn't the main factor at work causing the current sky high inflation. House prices are starting to drop .rookiepilot wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 9:07 amHey.CpnCrunch wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 5:56 amSo lets hear your expertise...rookiepilot wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 5:33 am

Money printing certainly affects housing prices which moves rents which moves inflation.CpnCrunch wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 9:52 amYes, indeed.

Money printing is nothing more than effective negative interest rates.
It's a long running policy choice of the US, EU and Japan, but interest rates and housing are worldwide markets. Anything Canada does is a zit by comparison.
Zoning reform is badly needed.

How does a government over printing money, home prices rising, skyrocketing rent, outrageous food prices, gas prices jumping up, and more, NOT affect inflation? Filling the diesel tank here on the farm costs double what it did 2 years ago. Tractor tires cost 80% more than in 2019, seed costs are double, parts for repairs are up 60%, building supplies have more than doubled.

This is why prices aren’t likely to come down any time soon. It took a couple years for inflation to spool up full tilt, it will be at least two years to see an price relief. Best case prices just freeze where they are and we get some stability. Even if the product your produce gets some relief in expense, transportation costs are up, equipment repairs are up, there’s enough expenses creeping up all around that this is not transitional. The way you put it makes it so clear how from farm to table will cost more for the foreseeable future.WANP wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 11:04 am How does a government over printing money, home prices rising, skyrocketing rent, outrageous food prices, gas prices jumping up, and more, NOT affect inflation?

Time to demand more pay from your employers unless you are ok with eating into easily 10 percent of what you used to make.

Says the person who thinks that the price of tractor tires and diesel has something to do with Canadian government spending.

I can only shake my head that JT was re elected. What has he done to make housing affordable to Canadians?
“Safe, adequate, and affordable housing is essential to building strong families, strong communities, and a strong economy,” said Mr. Trudeau. “We have a plan to make housing more affordable for those who need it most – seniors, persons with disabilities, lower-income families, and Canadians working hard to join the middle class.”
JT makes life way worse for these people and does the exact opposite. Maybe the big secret is that it’s the home owners who vote for JT because they love that he drives the divide and makes their property values boom.

Those that don’t think housing costs are in any way related to inflation.
I'm still waiting to hear exactly how that works.
