I had a huge financial shock today! I haven't gone grocery shopping in 3 years, since COVID started. Since I got COVID pneumonia, I couldn't even pick up my meds from the in-store pharmacy, I would get so badly out of breathe. I thought it was my heart, but my cardiologist said my heart damage hadn't progressed at all in 4 years. I was taken off asthma drugs, and since I got COVID I realized I have had Shortness Of Breath (SOB) from my newly read aged lungs.
So, my shock was going to the store to pick up a few items. The push basket was about 3/4s full. I got to the till, and my groceries were over $300 and not even a full cart!! I've been shopping for myself since 1972. It has never been close to that expensive.
In Canada, we have Trudeau destroying our economy, in step with Biden. He's taxing farmers on the propane gas they use to dry their grain. Plus a carbon tax. Tax on fertilizers. He's trying to put our agriculture sector out of business. He's also labeling beef and pork products as unhealthy to eat! I don't eat meat, but that is a personal choice. My husband and oldest son don't function well w/o near!
Fuel prices are crazy, considering what a huge supply we have. But Trudeau buys Saudi & Venezuelan oil, for Eastern Canada and won't build a pipeline across Canada, because you know, fossil fuels are so evil, except his oil company, founded by his grandfather. Hypocrite!
Our youngest son used to live 7 blocks away. Last spring they sold their house, and made $400K on it since they bought it. Although if they had sold it this spring, they would have made an additional $200K. Now, they sold their house in Edmonton, and they don't have the money to buy here, nor rent. He and his wife & 3 children are moving in with us next week. We have 2 bedrooms upstairs with a loft, but not sure how long we want them to stay here.
Our house has more than doubled, since we bought it 7 years ago. It's in the millions. We bought our first home for $66K in 1984, after so many people lost their homes to mortgage renewals with 22% interest. We paid off our home over 20 years ago. But it wasn't a big deal, my parents held the mortgage!
I'm glad three of our grown kids have high paying jobs. Our economy is just ruined, with Trudeau and his neurotic Russian journalist in charge of finances. We pray for a change of gov't, but we are stuck with that loser another 3 years. I hope the east wakes up by then, I realize what Trudeau has done, following WEF, and old Klaus' instructions on how to create a NWO, and depopulate your country at the same time!!
