In the US 75 million people voted for Kamala Harris. It appears to be a mental disease that infects a substantial portion of the human race, not just Canadians. The question is how bad does it have to get to see a change? It took Argentina about 90 years of socialism with terrible inflation before they finally "got it"
You are missing the fact that although Carney may have been Trudeau’s financial advisor, did Trudeau actually listen to him? Same with all the other ministers. Did Trudeau actually listen to their advice? Or were they forced to bend to Trudeau’s wishes when advancing their political agendas? You know that coming out with what “appears to be” a unified front is critically important when it comes to politics.
Obviously, the cabinet openly disagreed with Trudeau’s approach to the point of revolt.
Comparing business and government is not always a valid comparison. Look at what’s happening to the south where the head of government is running the country as if it’s a private business and he’s the CEO. Not working out too well so far, is it?
It .... reminds me of back in the day when Al Gore said Money or Global Warming...they picked Money. And if in "their control" they always will.
I do not think that is the "will of the people" but I fully realize Democracies are difficult ! I liken Democracies to families ...how to get along with the weird ! uncle and your super mean cousin...but you work it out or you don't...
right now we are in DON'T territory.
Poilieve is a Canadian version trump. Not trustworthy no MATTER what he SAYS his "policies are"
Actually, Poilieve is the creepy vibe uncle !
Now ....if the Conservatives had NOT put someone like him in charge...that could be a different story !!! That was their huge mistake !
The USA is loosing their democracy faster than our new flash floods can flood a city !
We are being threatened with an economical WAR...so to say it is NOT business as usual is an understatement.
Mark Carney has the best skill set(s) and presence too, to deal with trumps ambition to take Canada, Mexico for a North American "trump land".
Project 2025 is a real 900 page document and it is rolling out efficiently and at warp speed..so fast most don't even know what is really happening.
Which brings me right back to this is NOT business as usual ..this could/ likely will soon be SURVIVAL. If you are ok seeing Canada annexed from your seat in South Asia ? ...that is you. That is not my preference. And if we stop focusing on just money and look at ie trumps alliances with declaring Ukraine started the war at the UN Council - just ONE FLASHPOINT...you could see that we are in a VERY different world and trajectory. Now respectfully, you might be in the position now of financial independence so as not to worry about what happens to Canada.
But that is NOT the position of the average Canadian.
So yes...I see that things are CRAZY - oh ya.
But this is the time to be focused on re-inventing ourselves to be a better and more successful Country, YES :). To have a chance to oppose to the USA Mar a Lago Accord - the financial wrecking ball coming to a balance sheet near you on April 2nd.
And I hear Mark Carney coming up with ideas quickly ! And Poiliever actually finally had a good idea too, bless him !
With alot of luck and hard work we might just make it work. AND this might never ever be the Country to make tons and tons and tons of money...wouldn't that be great :) :) :)
That might be just for door # 1, the USA. Give me a Canadian or European culture any day. But that's just me :)
Democracy is all about rights of the majority with the minority not having any rights. I believe you should call it a Republic. The US is supposed to be a Constitutional Republic. The word democracy is not found anywhere in American founding documents and for good reason. They understood what a democracy was. Apparently, no one today has a clue.
Your absolutely right but obviously Canadians are not doing their due diligence. How else do you explain such nonsense. Canada needs a fresh start and conservatives have the plan. 4 more years of the Liberals will be the end of Canada as we all new it as we are already bankrupt financially and morally.
Jay, you are missing nothing. Except for the fact the electorate in Cda seems to never want to put in the time to educate themselves for a decision that is important. They then go on to bitch about their decision based upon not getting what they thought they might get.
Then, once the media magicians pull out a new shiny object, their nat-sized attention spans are misdirected easily again.
No, your not insane. If and I say if, the US makes Canada a 51st state it would be the worst mistake,, but its all rather humourus. Look at those charts again, who wants a bankrupt government engaged in the wholesale looting of its most productive to be passed around amongst the swindlers, mountebanks and larcenist's. The Argentina quote by a reader is apt and unfortunately the road to ruin is on track. I mean look, if you go back prior to the creation of the Federal Reserve or all of the showeing benefits that emanate from the eccles building,including euphmestically known as BOC 1/20 an ounce of gold which stood for the better part of 130 years where, $1.00 is fast approaching its intrinsic value with the enormous consequences from it. Praticularly in CAD terms. Canada? Fuhget about it, look at the fast track of migration into the country what does that suggest. 2008 financial crises was papered over or should I say bolstered by pension funds. Pensions? What pensions?. Its a good old game that has been foisted on the unsuspected getting it good and hard. Not too bad if your serving the people, in inflation adjusted terms between $200K and $500K + not to say anything of the extortion fee's on the receiving end, but hey I digress, I believe as others have pointed out we are in a silent depression.
One more point. If the counterfeit operations chief is elected into the "so called "Liberal" faction then I m afraid that the carnage that England is now in, comes home to roost on Canadian shores. Life, Liberty and the prusuit of happiness is a dream.
Thank you once again for this insight Jay! My opinion is that these numbers don't matter to the average Canadian. All that matters is what they see going on in USA and now that there's a new puppet in the helm, the shift will go back to Liberal. It was a good play on their part.
Carney is well educated and has sat in some big seats.
What has Pollieve really done and what seats has he been in to give him the perspective of the Nation? He's from Calgary and has been whirling around Ottawa...meh.
Carney has been in international circles and has some pretty great credentials.
Trudeau never worked a day in his life and took Canada to the bottom of every list and you are ok with that. And all the same incompetent, anti Canada people are still there and Carney has proven to be a lot more anti Canada. And you support that ???
Trudeau was my step-son's teacher at West Point Grey Academy and I saw his incompetence from the very beginning. How has Carney proved to be incompetent? How?.....I have not seen this.

Propaganda matters. The avg Canadian's media diet is state-subsidised news with a slant designed to ensure the Canadian Media Fund continues to hand $$ to otherwise-bankrupt media businesses.
Covid proved propaganda can be wildly successful at pushing people to do things they wouldn't of considered for a second just a few days or weeks before.
If you control the media narrative, you control the people.
Im in agreement with you Jay! Do you know the age group of people who participate in the Polymarket betting polls? Knowing this information might help to understand the demographics of the “voters”. I wonder if these people take the time to step out of their home to actually vote.
Some of us in the US have stopped voting long ago. We figured out it isn't about us and our opinions, the politicians care about. If you are rich, famous, and/or well connected, THEN your opinion matters. They are going to destroy the Dollar as they continue to spend like there is no tomorrow. Both parties are totally onboard, being the true UniParty they truly are. They will do so without my vote of approval.
Great comparison Jay. I fear to many people don't have the capacity to understand it with the same simple comparison you use. I'm not sure what your subscription base is for Eastern Canada, but I sure hope the East gets this message!
Would like to have a edit button! Just to be clear, the data on this chart is in US dollars adjusted to Jan 1, 2015 and the assumption made is that we should have an 86 cent dollar. Pick a different date and you'll get a very different chart.
I've seen this chart on X a lot and commented on it as well. The starting point is at a time when we had an 86+ cent dollar. Rather than a diatribe about the horrendous economic damage done to our exporters by having our dollar spike so high (twice), I would just like to point out that this chart is disingenuous at best and it should also be pointed out that the dollar had fallen to 76 cents in November 2015 when Trudeau was elected (in case you want to blame him for the decline from 86). Another point about OECD data collection methods (if you dig into the weeds), they count the economic output from undocumented immigrants but they don't include those numbers in the population count which skews all of their data.
It’s not about the economics per se, although even on that basis you can’t ignore the importance of Carney as the new LPC leader. It’s about adopting US-style divisive rhetoric to win an election even though we’ve seen it destroy the US.

You are a scammer. It is a shame there is no report button, as you should be banned.

Money or freedom/democracy ?
It .... reminds me of back in the day when Al Gore said Money or Global Warming...they picked Money. And if in "their control" they always will.
