OTTAWA — OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.5 per cent. It’s the first hike since July 2023. The central bank wants to control inflation by reducing the risk that high fuel prices could spill over and seep into the overall economy.

I don't think it's wise to lay down arms in every case. I believe in fighting to make a better tomorrow for others that I won't live to see.

I'll continue to do right by myself. Try to make my life better the best I can with the limited resources I have. That doesn't mean I have I stop hating the overlords and not throw a wrench in their machine every chance I get.

Basically, I'm not as nice as you or Jesus.

    It's not about being nice. If it were up to me I'd hang the lot of them from the CN Tower and call it good. But it's not up to me, and that wrench you're throwing isn't getting anywhere near their machine.

    Gotta keep trying then. In hopes it might eventually reach the machine.

    I find it very difficult to just admit defeat and do absolutely nothing.

    You're not doing nothing, though. You're making your own life better, which is the only thing you can control. Otherwise what you're actually doing is making your arm tired for no damn good reason.

    The monkey is still alive and well in my DNA.

    The urge to fling poo if all else fails is strong...

    Just out of curiosity reading this whole thread. What outside of whinging on Lemmy are you doing? Are you doing anything offline?

    I don't necessarily believe you. If you were you wouldnt be so ornery online as stated it's just wasted energy. Screams of someone in a basement at a keyboard.

    Me? I'm too busy raising 3 kids and protecting my family and their future to care. Control what I can and accept what I can't. I feel the government here in Canada is in as good of hands as I could hope for.
