For the record.

In Canada, It Matters How the Economy Dies.

The Canadian economy is dead. It just didn’t die with a crash big enough to satisfy the models. No Lehman moment, no Covid‑style cliff, just two negative quarters of GDP, years of falling output per person, negative productivity, and a private sector slowly strangled by rates and regulation while the establishment insists the patient is “resting.”

On the facts, this isn’t ambiguous. Real GDP has contracted for two consecutive quarters on an annualized basis. Labour productivity has been flat or negative since 2021. Real GDP per capita is below its pre‑pandemic level. Ontario has logged its worst non‑pandemic quarterly job losses since the mid‑1970s. The only consistent growth is in government payrolls and compliance, not in private enterprise and investment. If that isn’t recessionary, the word is meaningless.

And yes Macklem threatens rate hikes through all of this insanity.

Yet Canada’s official guardians insist nothing fundamental has broken. The C.D. Howe recession‑dating committee says the downturn is not “pronounced, persistent, and pervasive” enough. The central bank warns against overreacting to “technical” weakness. Bay Street talks about “soft landings” and “resilience.” In some quarters, the answer to this slow‑motion collapse is not relief, but further rate hikes. Ignore the body on the table, we are told, the vital signs aren’t quite bad enough yet to fill out the certificate.

Their rulebook was built for heart attacks, not cancers. It excels at spotting sudden collapses in aggregate GDP and jobs. It barely registers slow organ failure: a few tenths off real GDP per capita each year, productivity edging down, ugly quarters for private‑sector employment and capex offset by public hiring. None of that triggers the old alarms until the damage is permanent.

Meanwhile, Canada has been busy throwing away the advantages that once justified its prosperity. Energy and resource projects are stalled or strangled. Business investment per worker trails peers. A country rich in capital, talent, and geography behaves as if it can live forever off inherited endowments while making it harder to build anything new. That is not “resilience.” It is delusion.
Canada’s economic establishment needs to wake up.

Two negative quarters of GDP, negative productivity, falling GDP per person, historic job losses in the core province, a suffocated private sector and calls for more tightening on top, are not signs of an economy “cooling toward trend.” They are signs of an economy that has already crossed the line from stagnation into decay.

The Canadian economy is dead in the way that matters: as an engine of rising living standards and a place where private capital is rewarded for building the future. It just didn’t die loudly enough for the old definitions. The real question now is not what we call it, but how long our institutions will keep pretending the corpse is “resilient.”

@Martyupnorth @scubadang722 He's a bigger liar than Trudeau. There must be some sort of award for that 🤔

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

Does nobody even hear what politicians are saying anymore?

"We have taken back control of immigration"...from who?
Was anyone held accountable for letting it get out-of-control.

"We have reigned in government spending. It had been growing at 10%". Again. Was anyone held accountable? Did anyone lose their job. Did you fire any Minister?

Your party's been in power for 11 years. This is on you.

Liberal insiders are now openly warning about PM Mark Carney’s 'authoritarian streak'

One year in, he calls his MPs his personal 'deputies', treats Parliament like a corporate boardroom, engineers floor-crossings to manufacture majorities, stacks committees, and centralizes power behind closed doors'

There’s an authoritarian tinge to it,' one senior Liberal told the Toronto Star

He lectures the world on defending democracy... while eroding it at home. Mark Zedong @althiaraj

💥 BOOM: @Sauve_Brian, representing 20,000 federal RCMP officers, DROPS A BOMB 💣 on the Liberals gun grab, telling @PatKelly_MP going after licensed gun owners:
✅ isn't backed by ANY statistics
✅ is a "complicated/expensive" waste of $$
✅ will take police away from REAL crime

[Chris Ryan @Watchdog_MP]

💥 RCMP JUST TORCHED THE LIBERAL GUN GRAB!

Brian Sauve (20,000 federal officers): Targeting licensed owners is statistically baseless, insanely expensive, and pulls cops off real crime.

As a retired cop I couldn’t agree more. Criminals use illegal guns. Not your PAL holders.

Liberals: Stop harassing law-abiding Canadians. Go after the gangs and smugglers.

Enough waste. Enforce real laws.
Agree? RT + comment.

BREAKING: New reporting from @althiaraj reveals growing internal tension within the Liberal caucus, with MPs alleging that Prime Minister @MarkJCarney is tightly centralizing power and reacting harshly to internal dissent. 👇🧵 (1/5)

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!

So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.

@vitamindees I consider it to be nothing more than propaganda.

@FLEXjss This reminds me of a TV commercial years ago where a lone car parks in the middle of a massive empty parking lot, when another drives in and parks right beside it. People are weird 😕

@RealNicoLagan Power at any cost.

Bill C-9 = Defines what you can and cannot say, the consequences of hurting people’s feelings

Bill C-22 = Provides the government with the proof (metadata) they need to go after you for hate-speech.

Bill C-8 = Gives the power to our government to cut you off the internet and prohibit Internet Service Providers from selling you services.

Unlike what they want you to believe, these bills are not separate, they are interconnected.

The government wants to put in place the legal framework to spy on us and use AI to keep us in check.

This is not about safety; this is about crushing dissent.

This is funny! 🤣

I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 60 years later. I don't have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don't have a curfew. I have a driver's license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant and I don't have acne.

Life is great. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.

Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers.

I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row.

I decided to stop calling the bathroom "John" and renamed it the "Jim". I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

When I was a child I thought "nap time" was a punishment. Now it feels like a small vacation.

The biggest lie I tell myself is... " I don't have to write that down, I'll remember it".

If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet.

Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

Of course, I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.

At my age "Getting Lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came In there for.

🇨🇦 ⛴️ Here’s the insanity:

Canada imports billions in oil from:

• 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
• 🇳🇬 Nigeria
• 🇩🇿 Algeria
• 🇳🇴 Norway
• 🇺🇸 USA
• 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan

Every single one arrives by TANKER to the East Coast.

So when exactly do we get a tanker ban there?

Or is the “ban” only for Canadian oil, Canadian workers, and Canadian paycheques? 🧐🙄🤨
