    The high inflation is mainly caused by the backlash of sanctions on Russia, which didn’t hurt Russia but us! Stupid economists advising Biden didn’t know shite.

        Shows how little you know about why oil prices are so high right now. Sanctions didn’t work, Russia’s economy actually grew and has less inflation. Ukraine attacking their oil refineries hasn’t helped either.

          I dunno why I’m being downvoted, these are verifiable facts! Do some serious research, people.

                So you believe what we’re being told by the government and MSM? If so, you’re a damn fool.

              Do your own damn research. I’m not here to spoon-feed you! Ukraine has been attacking Russian oil depots. When the supply of oil is constricted, guess what happens? Oil prices rise! I thought this was a serious Subreddit—apparently not.

                  No, it’s not. Before critiquing anything, it’s incumbent on YOU to have a knowledge of the subject. Not what you think, but what is factual. Do you actually know what’s been happening in Ukraine before Russia’s invasion? Do you know that we’re supporting an undemocratic fascist regime in Ukraine (Zelensky cancelled elections which are due May 21 of this year, and made opposition parties illegal)? Even the MSM before the invasion had articles concerning the Nazi fascist rise in Ukraine. Do some research! The first casualty in war is the truth. Canada has been sending mercs to fight in that war. It wasn’t an accident that a Nazi was honoured in our Parliament FFS! Read some history of the 2nd world war! Even our deputy PM Chrystia Freeland’s grandfather, from the Galician region, was a Nazi officer! Many inconvenient truths that folks like you either don’t know about or are ideologically invested, in this fallacy. Most Canadians are wilfully ignorant of foreign policy. Unfortunately.
