I’m not so sure… this guy that brought in now is either going to crush it himself or he’s going to implode. He’s also super easy to throw dirt at given he was a banker and the whole loan/mortgage issue in Canada.
If Trump wasn't treating a friendly neighbor like shit this would have been easy.
reply
Canada has become less friendly especially when you look at recent demographics and immigrants
I was watching an episode of Hoarders in British Columbia and the psychologist was a Canadian woman of Pakistan descent wearing a burka... she is emblematic of Canada today
not trying to be culturally insensitive or ethnocentric (well, maybe a little)...

Meanwhile, Supreme Commander VonMusk kindly orders that you bleed your economy dry while he gets rich off of government subsidies
What do you call winning in Russian comrade ?

I'm half Lebanese, one quarter native American, one/8th Spanish, and probably 1/8 Dutch.
And I wear burkas frequently.
Do i 'trigger' you? :D
reply
you don't trigger me but you annoy me greatly
burkas are for women, are you a woman or cross dresser?
reply
I will resume muting you. Good day sir.
reply
you still haven't answered my question...
what does being native american or spanish or dutch have to do with wearing a burka?
are you 1/4 alcoholic?
reply
So much for assimilation or the melting pot

Should have been an easy target. Central banker, left Canada to go to England. Holds residences in 5 countries. Moved Brookfield Asset Management from Toronto to New York. Unfortunately if he gets some sort of deal done with Trump on tariffs or if the population thinks he is handling the situation well they will vote for him.
Hate for Trump in Canada is at an all time high and all the parties are already labelling Pierre Poilievre as a Trump ally.
reply
Things should have been easy for Trump.
Secure the border, remove DEI from institutions, reform immigration, bring down inflation through deregulation, keep your mouth (relatively) shut.
sigh Why can't we have nice things.
reply
I don't understand what people mean when they say 'bring down inflation'.
Inflation is already 'down' (according to the Fed) to something like 3% right?
Prices go up presumably ~3% a year... it's not that far off from the 2% target.
So do you mean 'bring down prices' because that's not inflation... that's de-flation.
Prices go up - inflation.
Prices go down - deflation.
Prices go up, just not as quickly - dis-inflation.
Central banks target (try to achieve) inflation every year not deflation.
And I'm here because Bitcoin is dis-inflationary and because prices are 'never going down' so Bitcoin is a better form of savings...
reply
That one percent is HUGE as it is a compounding whole percent. The sad fact is the Fed keeps saying they will get it back to 2% but no one believes that. Sure is it down yes but comparing it to pre covid levels its still high and the Fed raised rates and it isnt getting it to 2%
reply
I just wanted to be clear... (because there is a lot of confusion on this) the difference between 'inflation rate' and 'inflation that has already occurred.'
Inflation has already occurred and is 'not going back'. Having said that, the current inflation rate has gone down a lot, maybe not enough but it has gone down considerably.
Lots of people, including voters, think that 'bringing inflation down' means LOWER PRICES. It 100% DOES NOT.
Inflation coming down means that prices don't GO UP as fast from current levels... it does not mean they go down from where they currently. Even if 'inflation goes down' things aren't getting cheaper that would be deflation.
reply
With respect, I think you're being pedantic. I think most people just want life to be more affordable, whether that's higher income or lower prices, and it doesn't really make anyone feel better when someone claims that "inflation is back to 3%".
Also, housing costs, medical costs, education costs, and childcare costs all continue to rise. So the biggest things that people care about still feel very much unaffordable and not addressed, despite what official inflation figures say.
I will say whenever either party has attempted to address immigration they have lost the House in the next election I want to say 4 or 5 straight times going back decades. Its something that neither side really tries to touch because the history of doing so is so bad for the party that tries.
Imagine.... a world were Trump talks 50% of what he does now..... I think that would be up there with solving world hunger.

It's still early. Canada depends more on imports to USA than vice versa.
In a real trade war, Canada will lose more and politicians and voters will blink.
Right now, it's easy to be 'patriotic'.
Let's be real: liberals in Canada are anti Trump vs pro Canada.
The left in Canada prefers hijabs, burkas and scalps to the maple leaf flag
reply
Everyone in Canada, left, right and independents are United in front of the attack from the cult leader of MAGA
Besides, Canada is not alone, there are tens of allied nations
Will Trump manage to export his farm produce to North Korea now ?
reply
So in other words... more pain on Canadians... than they can handle... while Americans feel pain too?
So it all about 'who can feel the most pain and not blink'? That's the way to run an economy?
reply
sounds like you are preparing to lose
