Stagflation was awful. Worse than a huge recession.
But Iām wondering if government continues the pandemic support that itās right now ending - if it could be avoided. The high unemployment piece not having as pronounced effect. Itās already significantly decreased poverty. Why take our foot off the gas prematurely?

Right?
Iām guessing itās because some people are clutching their pearls over the impacts it might have on the poor, put upon marketsā¦

I would suggest investing in wipes and toilet paper, as they will be great for trading for famous amos cookies?

In a post-retail economy, those wax seals will add some amount of real-world value.

From the internet. Just showing that the claim that red wax might have real-world value is already true!

Iām curious. Is it the same wax that they put on the cheese? I wouldnāt know, because I donāt like that kind of cheese.
The Baybel FAQ reads:
The wax we use to coat our products is made of a blend of paraffin and microcrystalline waxes and colouring, which specifically contains no Bisphenol.
Checking the first thing that came up in a googling of ācheese wax,ā from the New England Cheese Making Supply Company, their wax contains:
- A formulation of paraffin and microcrystalline wax.
- Food grade coloring.
So, Iād go with āprobably.ā

Welpā¦ after the statutory minimum campaign duration, 6 weeks, 
(that handy little buffer state between most of the 
and 
) is off to the polls. Trudeauās Liberal Party called this election with a 36% to 29% advantage in support vs the Conservative Party (donāt you love how we call a spade a spade here?).
That lead vanished overnightā¦ why?
Enthusiasm for an opportunistic election midst a pandemic? ā 0.
Looks like weāre going to be back to a minority parliament, the Liberal āBig Red Machineā having either gravely misjudged the mood of the country or having taken a truly Machiavellian gamble.
One big down side of all of this has been a souring of Canadian political discourse. The sourest parts being increased support for the āPeopleās Party of Canadaā, unprecedented assaults on party leaders by anti-maskers, aggression against candidates at the doorā¦ The PPC leader, Maxime Bernier, resigned his cabinet post in 2008 in Stephen Harperās government after leaving classified documents unsecured, at home.
We shall see what the evening bringsā¦

PPC platform for the uninitiated
Edit: this mailer omits the parties position of anti immigration and opinion that immigrants must leave their culture at the door and adopt āCanadian cultureā (whatever wormbrained racist thing that is)
(It just tickles me that they named their party PPC)

The gross irony of all of that being that health is a Provincial jurisdiction.
The Federal government level co-ordinates Provincial health programs in a small, well-run, generally unobtrusive and uncontroversial agency. FTRā¦ COVID case and death rates have been worse, on average, in Conservative provinces by a factor of about 2.

Same here, although it seems their strategy is to blame it all on Biden.
