In 2020 presidential nominations for the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders was the front runner for the nomination to run for the presidency not joe Biden. Bernie Sanders ( a socialists) agreed to step aside for Biden who was considered to have better international experience. And now you can see the results of Biden’s international experience.

[Timetravel]

He definitely didn't give up. Clean that place up!!

[yohannese.]

I prefer Trump because he doesn't interfer much in other countries' affairs

[TM-frgh]

Ding dong the witch is dead (or out, rather)

[xixi]

Don't need to be a fortune teller to know this was going to happen. The people will decide the president, not the media.

[furiousstormrage]

Love how Global says neither candidate is popular. Trump is pushing 50%, and I doubt he lost 2020 either. Orange Man is packing in 20k stadiums.

[uzsifui]

Not this news again but the good is what we want for our world 🌎

[luigitrivisonno]

I’m not talking about the plane crash that is so sad I’m talking about the way you trash Trump

[kassfischer]

Elder abuse! He belongs in a care home, not the campaign trail. They both do, actually.

[jason]

Why do they say inflation is now 2.9% but graph shows 1.9%?

[OneManJam]

Americans know what they had with Trump! 🇺🇸 FJB!!

There are many scenarios for interest rate policies but most of all, only 2 major scenarios are the most important ones, the best and worst-case scenarios.

1: Best Case Scenario; the Bank of Canada to KEEP rates at the current 5% level throughout 2024, 2025 and 2026 then evaluate the situation and decide to cut or keep at 5%.

2: Worst Case Scenario; the Bank of Canada to CUT rates and the MASSIVE inflation start to bounce back and the bank has to raise the rate again and at that time BoC has to raise the rate way above the 5% current level. At this critical point, public confidence in the economy and BoC will be lost, which will lead to public confusion, and all sectors of the economy will start to melt down, a painful nightmare for all Canadians.

The government and Bank of Canada know something that the public doesn't know and that would be the rising geopolitical tensions around the world, the major cause of the current inflation crisis and economic downturn.

It is in the BEST interests of the country and the public, the Bank of Canada to KEEP the rates at 5% with NO CHANGE for at least 3 years to ride out the global geopolitical storms and their fallouts, supply chain, energy, and inflation crises.

Warning: Any rate cut will be followed by a MASSIVE rate HIKE to a much higher level than the current 5%.

😂Power on Trump. Time to replace sleepy Joe.

[commonsensecraziness]

I predict that inflation will spike higher shortly after April 1.
You all should know why.
Are we really in such denial of reality?

[The]

...and she gets to keep all the campaign $$$$ sweet deal huh?

[Cnd]

Why is Canadian news covering American politics. If you weren’t following it 2-3 years ago you would never understand what is really going on. Good try lol
