GDP-per-capita is a terrible metric in isolation. Yes, Canada had large population growth relative to it’s GDP growth over the same period, leading to lower gdp-per-capita. This is natural as immigrants will take some time to get employed, upskill, and contribute to the economy. You know what would collapse gdp-per-capita even faster? Achieving that population growth via increasing local birthrates, where instead of immigrants taking a few months to a couple years to get situated into the economy, we have children consuming resources and adding nothing at all to the GDP for ~18 years. But in either case, that population growth is good for Canada in the long term.

What about the school children?

…Do we have the customers to justify that?

It’s referencing a book.

It’s not defence when you’re on the side that attacked, Starmer, you worm.

Yeah, that’s what the US is doing, Carney. Protecting international peace and security. With offensive bombings.

If this motherfucker involves Canadian troops in a yankee war I am going to lose my shit.

Also in the present.

Yes. Cuba is lovely. But you’re moving goalposts again. When you decided to weirdly include Iran in all this, you included them due a massacre of 30k people. That’s a far cry from your complaints about Cuba. So why are you conflating them as though they were the same place?

Wasn’t this supposed to be about Cuba? Why are you bringing Iran into it?

Yes it is. And we’re hardly limiting ourselves to trading with only China.

The beneficiary of the miracle being China.

Gag gift.

edit: Apparently it’s for sewing.

Liberalism has always included free markets and isn’t the left. It’s only the US dichotomy of liberal vs. conservative and the volume and reach their media has that confuses the issue.

Yeah, well, I’m boycotting American groundhogs.

Pretty simple. Right wing = bad. Extreme right wing = extremely bad.

Wow, that must be a first in history. I’m not in tune with Portuguese politics at all, but the far-right candidate must be real bad to cause this to happen.

Users of either means content for both so doing team sports over this seems foolish.

So, entirely fair.

France? The laicite country? I’m sure his talk will go over well.

She’s trying to pretend she’s governor of a US state.
