Well the CPI is clearly fake, real inflation is far higher.

A good example is we are printing money to buy mortgage bonds, which means we print money to lower inflation, because it decreases mortgage interest costs.

The CPI does not include housing appreciation in its calculation so this is the parameter that keeps housing prices tethered to reality, and we still lose FX by printing money.

Wow a 2.5% increase, meanwhile rent is up 50% the last few years. So progressive it hurts.

Whose being suppressed, do you have an example?

The UN called it modern slavery, the NDP called it saving "small business". Small business meaning Tim Horton's, and saving meaning increasing profits.

Is there an alternative to Google Play, because I'm assuming it wouldn't matter as much if we had that.

Well that was the irony I was attempting to point out. People took it quite literally tho.

So get the government to do something. That makes more sense.
