It’s a claim until it’s backed with evidence. I agree that statement is likely a fact though I’d want to see inflation adjusted numbers first..

But even then there is nothing to link that fact to anything that you claim is happening. Where is the evidence of causality. Also needing discussion is even if you can prove that Trudeau’s money printing cause the things you say it caused the next question is was it better than the alternative?

Let’s look at your claim that everybody is poorer. We know that to be false as some people are certainly better off. Is the median person poorer? I don’t know asset inflation through the stock and housing market pre and post Covid generated a tonne of wealth that outpaced inflation. Do you have evidence to back up the claim that people are poorer through whatever metric you intended.

In general though I don’t believe there is evidence currently available to support your previous claim. I actually think we do not know if the policies around coming out of Covid were correct. We are probably 5 years away from knowing this info.
