CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn’t going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who’ll take “I’m sure to win the next election!” as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.

    You need to stop suckling at the teat of MAGA oligarch owned corporate propaganda media. Pierre Polievre ran a campaign of grievance and, “I’m not Justin Trudeau.” Other than, “Neither am I” Carney had an actual platform with actual plans. Pierre Polievre had nothing. That’s is why he lost.

      Piss off with that MAGA red herring nonsense, you ate up the kool-aid around Trump, but Canada has had negative per capita GDP growth since Trudeau was elected. The Liberals have shit the bed on every metric, and Carney is essentially running with the same plan and the same cabinet.

      Reading his book its quite clear what he thinks of energy production, whereas Canada is a petro state, in 2016 when oil fell our stock market fell 20%. We have had terrible performance and terrible wage gains. Carney also wants to replace the carbon tax with carbon border adjustments, tariffs on foreign emitters, which is closer to Trumps plan.

      The only recent reprieve in our economy since the Liberals were elected was when we inflated GDP using mass immigration to depress salaries, as the BoC was buying all the Covid stimulus, and they forced unions back to work. We essentially debased our standard of living to raise stock valuations, and were buying half of all issued mortgage bonds to inflate real estate valuations, prior to that Canada has had abysmal performance and our alarm level productivity investment and capital swallowing is clear.

        Here is the verifiable the truth.

        We have a AAA credit rating.

        • We have the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the entire G7…
        • Over 1.1 Million more Candians are employed compared to before the pandemic, marking the fastest job recovery rate in the entire G7.
        • Inflation has been reduced to 2.8%. Expected to be 2% by the end of 2024.
        • The IMF and the OECD predict that Canada will have the largest economic growth of the entire G7 in 2025.
        • Canada received the highest per capita foreign investment in the entire G7 in the first 3 quarters of 2023.
        • Canada avoided the recession expected by many forecasters, with real GDP rising by 1.1 per cent in 2023, over three times higher than what was forecasted in Budget 2023 (0.3 per cent).
