Quote of the Day: “The welfare state contributes to this [economic] disparity by reducing the need for people at the bottom to earn income and by penalizing their earning of income, since higher income leads to a reduction in eligibility for government benefits.” Thomas Sowell
One day after the mind numbing Editorial trying to explain away Canada’s historic inflation rate, Robert Williams interviews Dr. David Johnson from the Economics Department of WLU. Good interview. Strangely, Dr. Johnson says basically the same thing I said yesterday regarding inflation. Coincidence? No, economic fact. Something that the Editorial Board completely misses. Too funny…
Have I ever mentioned that I hate TheRecord’s just brutal Community Editorial Board? Yes I have!!! Every chance that I get!!! I said once before that their self absorbed, perpetual victimization is not a reflection of our community and their blatant disregard for any balanced approach to community issues was pathetic to witness. And I mean it. But, the one person who usually has something interesting to write about is Simeon Kibaalya. I like him. I like his writing style. I like his topics. And today is no exception. He talks about the need for green space in our cities and mentions that parks and trails are good for both the body and mind. Accompanying the article is a picture of a mother and her daughter flying a kite “while exploring trails in the Chicopee area of Kitchener.” Nice. But Mr. Kibaalay talks about green spaces, maybe he should remember that flying a kite would have resulted in a ticket less than two years ago due to the disastrous COVID polices from the Region. Let that sink in for a minute.
