Canada posted its first current account surplus in four years, led by strong gains in goods exports, including energy products.

Some of you are overly pessimistic about the US trade war; some of you are overly pessimistic about Canada’s ability to build and develop resources. Let me tell you that Canada will produce and export more potash, uranium, copper, oil, natural gas and gold next year and in the years following. It’s baked in already. The only question is how much global market share we will gain.

@BetweenThieves7 @FriedgeHNIC unintentional, what a joke. Follow the puck. Stolarz is in his crease and the puck is going the opposite way. He was trying to bump the goalie and he did.

@dawoodguy @FriedgeHNIC Incidental.. follow the puck! He knew exactly what he was doing, no question.

Mark Carney is a great candidate, the Liberal Party is lucky to have him. But after the platform release today, its clear the Party is still in control: it commits Canada to continued economic decline

Progress happens in zigs and zags- We tried this for 10 years, its time to zag

Prediction: Trump, in way over his skis and staring down the barrel of economic disaster, will quickly strike a series of mostly unremarkable, bilateral trade deals and declare them the greatest of all time.

If this pause on reciprocal tariffs were actually a victory and not a strategic retreat, you think Donald Trump would have sent someone else to announce it?

According to the President of the American Aluminum Association - for the US to setup a new Aluminum smelting factory - it would take 8-10 years, *if* they could find a power grid strong enough and willing to commit to 20+ years of service. Every one 🇨🇦 Aluminum job = 13 American jobs. Effectively gutting American jobs, raising costs for at least a decade. *Or*… they could continue purchasing from Canada at the current rates.. rates that Trump negotiated in 2018 that he called “perfect”.

Team Canada: Buys morning coffee at Starbucks. Heads to WalMart to shop. Has lunch at McDonalds...

Then drives home, logs onto FB, IG or X to bitch about how America sucks before turning on the TV and tuning into Netflix or Amazon for the night.

Because Patriotism. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Swapping tariffs for income taxes is a terrible policy idea.

The biggest brain drain in the world is the one from Canada to the US.

As a result, the biggest and most successful mafia in the world isn’t the PayPal Mafia in America but the ex-Canadian Mafia in the US.

From Berkshire to SpaceX and many companies in between, there are so many of us, that have left Canada for the US to try our luck.

If Canada would demonstrate even a small modicum of interest in being a meritocracy, many of us would have stayed.

You might not like @kevinolearytv but everything he says here is bang on.

In 25 years, development charges have gone up almost 9,000%

DC’s in 2000: $1,617

DC’s in 2024: $117,169

Politicians are simply not serious about getting housing built.

We need to be doing everything we can to turn Canada into the best place for entrepreneurs to build 🇨🇦

What's proposed in the federal budget will do the complete opposite. Innovators and entrepreneurs will suffer and their success will be penalized -- this is not a wealth tax, it's a tax on innovation and risk taking.

Our policy failures are America's gains. At a time when our country is facing critically low productivity and business investment our political leaders are failing our country's entrepreneurs.

Please start listening to the people in the arena.

[Steve Saretsky @SteveSaretsky]

Brace yourself for tomorrow’s budget. It’s widely speculated wealth taxes are coming. Former BoC governor David Dodge says “it will be the most misdirected budget since 1932”. Let’s hope he’s wrong.
