Similarly, New Brunswick elected a Liberal majority which plans to roll back most of the previous government's transgender policies.

Yeah, but it was also written at a time when the most advanced armaments available were bolt-action rifles.
Actually, according to Wikipedia, "The first bolt-action rifle was produced in 1824" so that's decades after the second amendment was ratified.
He’s not wrong, exactly. The second amendment doesn’t say “keep and bear some kinds of arms”, it just says “keep and bear arms”.
It's kind of vague though. If a kid asks, "Can I have ice cream," and their parents say, "Yes, you can have ice cream," it doesn't mean the kid can have whatever ice cream them want and in whatever quantities they want.
As a non-American, I always find it funny how some people revere the framers as having future vision and somehow infallible.
Sure, but that has almost no impact on Fed policies.
I'm not sure why you're responding to my comment. What you said seems to be completely unrelated to what I said.
As I've pointed out elsewhere, that's not inflation. That's a lack of purchasing power, not inflation which is a loss of purchasing power. We lost that purchasing power over 2022 and 2023, but the difference in price between November of 2023 and now is relatively small.
Which is a made up target with a wide margin. Many economists think a stable inflation rate might be 3% or higher! So 2.4% might already be on target.
That definition is literally describing a change, as rate of change.
Inflation is a loss of purchasing power
Over the past year, we haven't experienced a loss of purchasing power. We have a lack of purchasing power, but we lost it over the 2-3 years prior to the last year.
a rise in prices for goods and services over time
This is pretty much the mathematical definition of a rate of change. Like how speed is the rate of change in position over time. After a day of traveling, your position (prices for goods) may be way different than your starting point, but if you're not currently moving, your speed (inflation) is NIL.
Inflation rate and inflation are the same. You're confusing inflation with affordability.
The inflation is still high
Where are you getting that from? That's not what the numbers say.
People from rural areas don't drive to Toronto very often. It's the drivers from the suburbs that you're thinking of.
