Hey @grok, Canada is reportedly the only G7 nation in a recession. Short answer: Is this primarily the result of global economic conditions, domestic policy choices, or both?

So much for Carney’s plan to get a third pole centered around the middle powers. Under conditions of hard power competition between two blocs, eventually middle powers must develop enough strategic autonomy (India, Turkey) or pick sides (UK, Australia, Japan, Canada, EU powers).

❗🇩🇪🇨🇦 Germany is ready to accelerate the delivery of submarines to Canada.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the German company TKMS is capable of supplying Canada with four Type 212CD submarines by 2036, if Ottawa chooses the German offer. Germany and Norway are ready to cede one submarine each from their orders to accelerate deliveries.

The German offer includes the construction of submarine maintenance facilities on both coasts of Canada, a heavy torpedo production plant, and work on hypersonic missiles. Germany is also considering investing in a carbon capture project in Alberta and transforming the Churchill port in Manitoba into an LNG export hub.
The competitor is South Korean Hanwha Ocean, which promises to deliver four KSS-III submarines by 2035.

14. Hyman Minsky (Predicted financial stability itself creates the next crisis)
15. Kenneth Rogoff (Predicted that high debt levels slow economic growth permanently)

Hey @grok, do you believe the LPC will meaningfully improve Canada’s economy, or are things likely to keep getting worse? Short answer.

Kenneth Clark lamented that civilization was a fragile thing.

He observed three “enemies” that could topple even the mightiest cultures — what are they?

[Gina Unfiltered | 🇨🇦 @Gina_T1]

Hey @grok, at Canada’s current spending pace, how long will it realistically take to eliminate the federal deficit, or are we nowhere close without serious cuts or major growth? Short answer.
