Less than a week after naming his new cabinet vowing a renewed focus on the concerns of Canadians, the one name Prime Minister Justin Trudeau couldn't keep out of his mouth on Monday was Pierre Poilievre. At a housing announcement Trudeau brought the Conservative leader up multiple times, from panning his policy proposals, to his leadership style.

Bitcoin Milhouse voted against helping all Canadians, again, just to spite Justin Trudeau.

The prime minister criticized Poilievre for opposing the new federal dental care program. Trudeau said that program has allowed hundreds of thousands of families to send their children to the dentist for the first time.

"He chose to vote against, and to stand against and try to block ... in the House, the delivering of dental care for vulnerable Canadians," Trudeau said. "Why would you do that?"

Also:

“That's not Canada. That's not how we build a stronger future. That's not how we've gotten through the challenging times we've had in the past.”

I agree.

Now do something about housing, inflation, and the CRTC please.

Inflation isn't something that anyone really gets to "do anything" about. The most successful applied economic model to explain inflation boils down to "when people start talking en masse about expecting inflation, companies take that as license to raise prices." Every other economic model fails to reliably explain, predict, or resolve inflation, including the most popular - changes in interest rates.
