Sherry De Novo is a former MPP in Ontario for the riding of Trinity-St. Paul and since she's been out of office, she is like a screaming progressive who always has crazy takes on everything. But goodness, despite the fact that she's like a fake pastor who's like this hyper woke progressive, the thing that ticks me off most about her opinions is her dumb tweet she put out a few days ago on inflation. If you have a 2nd grade education or higher, you know what she's saying here is stupid.
00:00:00.000I just want to quickly make this video to assure every single person that regardless of who you are and why you're watching this video, you are smarter than Sherry De Novo.
00:00:09.780It is insane how unintelligent you can be and still be elected as a politician in Canada.
00:00:16.920Sherry De Novo is a former NDP MPP in Ontario for the riding of Trinity St. Paul.
00:00:23.260And this lady, since she's been out of office, is like a screaming progressive, always has crazy takes on everything.
00:00:29.180But goodness, despite the fact that she's like a fake pastor who's like this hyper woke progressive, the thing that ticks me off most about her opinions is her dumb tweet she put out on inflation.
00:00:40.260Like she put this out a few days ago and I still have not been able to get over it just because of how illiterate it is.
00:00:46.000If you have a second grade education or higher, you know what she's saying here is stupid.
00:00:50.180I'm so quickly read out it out for you. Facts. It's not taxes that drive up food prices.
00:00:55.420It's price gouging. Otherwise, big grocers wouldn't be making record profits.
00:01:00.300OK, a few things here. Grocery stores are not making record profits.
00:01:04.900They're making record revenue because when everything costs more because of inflation, because there's more dollars chasing fewer goods, every single grocery store is going to bring in more money.
00:01:14.080They might be making a little bit more profit this year than they were last year just because they're preemptively moving prices up to buffer against the inflation that they know is coming.
00:01:23.300But it's so conspiratorial. What Sherry DeNovo is effectively trying to say here, it's that not only are grocery stores all colluding together to all raise prices in order to, like, I guess, screw over customers,
00:01:36.640even though one grocery store could just refuse to raise its prices and they would immediately end up taking in a crazy amount more customers than the rest.
00:01:44.020But what she's saying here doesn't is basically accusing grocery stores of colluding, but also only colluding to make record profits every single time that the government does massive amounts of money printing.
00:01:55.860So that money printing has absolutely nothing to do with prices going up like inflation.
00:02:01.000What's that? What is what do these words mean? Oh, Sherry DeNovo. It's so difficult.
00:02:06.360But so so she's saying that basically prices are like the grocery stores are only raising prices when the government happens to be printing money, which does nothing.
00:02:16.120So. Like, well, what is money printing do in Sherry DeNovo's head that the only reason prices are going up is because grocery stores are choosing to have the prices go up in order to make record profits?
00:02:28.480It's like, what's the act? What's what's the point of government printing money?
00:02:32.220Like, because I assume she would be in favor of subsidy programs and welfare programs and different sorts of redistributionary sort of financial interventions by the government to give people money so that they can pay for stuff.
00:02:44.860And wouldn't she assume that the way that you would do that would be by printing money and then giving it to people or redistributing it some way?
00:02:51.580So aren't those doesn't it doesn't that like inherently mean to her?
00:02:56.200Like, I'm confused just trying to get into Sherry DeNovo's head, which is probably a massive mistake here.
00:03:00.300But how does she not realize that if a product is worth one dollar and you double the amount of dollars that the person's probably going to want more than one dollar for that?
00:03:11.960Or they're going to be quickly very poor because everything is worth more wages go up, you know, prices go up, material costs, everything goes up.
00:03:19.960But I'm just going to keep asking for the single dollar for the product I'm selling.
00:03:24.080That's that's ridiculous. But again, this is someone who can get elected under the under the MVP.
00:03:29.820And again, she was in a riding for like four or five terms.
00:03:33.560It's kind of ridiculous how long Sherry DeNovo stuck around for.
00:03:36.700But this is why this is why it's honestly kind of frustrating to watch Canadian politics these days is that whenever you see people like, you know, in parliamentary meetings, like talking question period or like tweeting things out, you know that that person has no clue what they're talking about.
00:03:54.920But there's so many people who will just assume that they know what they're talking about and assume that they're doing a good job simply because they were elected.
00:04:02.160Dude, there are so many crazy people in politics that I know of personally.
00:04:06.760And they like and as long as they shut their mouths about some of their opinions, they will keep getting elected.
00:04:11.400They have no clue what they're doing in office, but they can keep getting elected as long as they just know how to play the media and they know how to campaign well enough.
00:04:20.580Well, anyways, hopefully this wasn't too much of a dumb rant out of nowhere, but I really hated that tweet and wanted to be able to break it down for myself.
