The govt doesn’t ‘build’ business or ‘create’ housing. It is a bureaucracy. Its role is to cut taxes and streamline regulation so Canadas entrepreneurs can compete globally. When it doesn’t - the smartest people and capital leave. @KirkLubimov is always on it.

In 1971, the U.S. went off the gold standard.

The money supply was $628 billion.

Today it’s $22.7 trillion.

That’s a 3,500% increase in dollars, issued at a rate of $46 million per hour for 55 years straight.

The cost? The value of your savings.

PM Carney claimed today Canada is now creating jobs at twice the rate of the United States...

The rich seem TOO rich.

"$5 to you is like $6M to billionaire Jeff Bezos,” shrieks Sen Warren!

That’s why “TAX THE RICH” is popular.

But don’t politicians realize it’s been tried before?

It always FAILS. Here’s why:

He died.

Are we EVER going to have an honest conversation about what's going on in this city/province/country?

Tweets from the powerful expressing "thoughts and prayers" and "this is not who we are" and other pablum is all we get?

ANOTHER officer killed in the line of duty. In one week.

In a sane world, this leads to MASSIVE change.

This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.

Today, 18 million Canadians received a GST grocery rebate.

My family pays more GST than the average Canadian, yet we don’t get a dime back.

We’re apparently too “well off” to qualify, but not too well off to keep footing the bill while politicians spend taxpayer money like it’s monopoly money.

Make it make sense.

TTC wants to “decolonize wayfinding”

You don’t have a serious transit system because you don’t have a serious TTC Board.

@integrity_to Can you think of a bigger waste of time?

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

Dias is half right, which makes it worse for Carney.

Yes, mass immigration helped prop up headline GDP. That was the trick. Add more people, sell more groceries, rent more apartments, call it “growth,” and hope nobody notices GDP per person is stuck in the mud.

But Carney now wants credit for noticing the mess after helping bless the same Liberal economic machine that created it.

Canada does not have a growth model. It has a population-pumping model. More people. More strain. More housing pressure. More demand on health care. More infrastructure overload. Then government turns around and says, “Look, GDP went up.”

That is not productivity. That is economic padding.

And the poster is right that more government intervention is not the answer. But let’s not pretend Carney is some innocent economist wandering into the wreckage with a clipboard. He has been part of the elite consensus that gave Canada cheap moral branding, expensive energy, weak investment, low productivity, and fake growth through immigration volume.

Now the tide goes out and suddenly everyone can see the economy was wearing floaties.
